Okay John, We Need to Chat

Okay, it’s time for an intervention.  When I saw John Gregg’s first TV ad, I scratched my head trying to figure out what was going on.  Now I definitely think we have a problem.

I ran this ad by my wife, the most apolitical person in the universe.  She has voted for Democrats, Republicans and Libertarians.  She thought it was cute, but was wondering what was the point and when were you going to talk about jobs and the economy.  I directed her to your website, however, her underlying point still sticks.  These ads don’t work and she is the kind of moderate independent voter you need to reach.

I figured that if you were going to use your hometown as the backdrop for your ads, you’d have your friends and neighbors talking about what good guy you are and how you care about Indiana.  And with the Indiana’s chamber poll saying you’re trailing  50-32 and you only have 41% name ID and pence has 80% and there are about 70 days to go before Election Day, you can’t afford to do these kind of misfires.

You know we have different politics, but we’ve known each other for years and  I like you so this is why I’m giving you the free advice that the people you are paying should be.

And by the way.  The only people talking about Planned Parenthood and Equal Pay are Democrats, so maybe your mom is tired of hearing from members of your party.

I’m looking forward to the next ad.

    Old fashioned (even when I was a kid) “handlebars” mustache…
    Goofiest ad I have seen! -Everyone laughs at it, calling him and his ad a LOSER. -But here is a typical Democrat who will TAX AND SPEND us into oblivion!

    If you hang around Mr Gregg for very long at all you will be sucked into his personality like people who jump off sinking ships only to be sucked down with it. John needs to cut his apron strings to Ma Planned Parenthood. These people don’t plan parenthood at all-what a 1940′s sort of lie. What they do is take mothers and kill their unborn babies. Who wants to talk straight about that?

  • ramon

    It sends a message loud and clear. I hope he has to money to air it often.

  • pascal

    Here is the message, Ramon. Blacks are about 9% of the population in Indiana and they account for 30% of the “Terminated Pregnancies”. In Marion County, Planned Parenthood does a smide better (in their view) murdering off 32.4%….second only to Lake County’s harvest of 36.7% -so the Genocide Jesse Jackson spoke of is falling disproportionately upon Blacks. And, the Black Legislators in Indiana lead the pack in supporting planned barrenhood. So, why is Gregg standing with the racists eugenics sorts? Talk about Boat Anchors. Isn’t enough that he has to tote Vi around?

  • Tom

    Northern Hoosiers are sick and tired of Indy idiots outnumbering us vote-wise, and selecting hard-asses that suck the life out of the state. Maybe you should take a trip up here every one in a while and see what your man Mitch has done to us. I used to vote Republican, but I’ll never make that mistake again. SELLOUTS!

  • Ramon

    Pascal, you are continuing your pattern of being Wrong. John Gregg has been pro life all of his political career. I dont agree but I respect his right to be. Vi Simpson is a major asset. Your flawed stats are laughable.

  • pascal

    Hmm. I guess I didn’t listen to the commercial where Pro Lifer Gregg mentions the leading killer of children in the world. But, small matter. Planned Parenthood particularly enjoys termination of Blacks and Hispanics. The stats, by the way, are not mine. If you cared to be informed do call 317 233 7349 and discover how you can cure your ignorance. These are official Indiana stats. Ya wonder sometimes why they aren’t in the indianapolis scar.

  • pascal

    Interesting that the hard asses are working hard to put away all the crooks and thieves that seem to own Northern Indiana-at least its NW corner…..

    OK, let’s talk straight but only if you agree to drop your exaggerations. Planned Parenthood does not “take mothers” nor do they “enjoy termination of Blacks and Hispanics”. PP endeavors to provide a SAFE procedure for the women who COME TO THEM as a result of making a terribly difficult decision. PP can not force greater proportions of Blacks or Hispanics to ask for one of their services. Here’s why PP provides abortion services:

    From the Guttmacher Institute, through 2008
    http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/fb_IAW.html

    Highly restrictive abortion laws are not associated with lower
    abortion rates. For example, the abortion rate is 29 per 1,000 women of
    childbearing age in Africa and 32 per 1,000 in Latin America—regions in
    which abortion is illegal under most circumstances in the majority of
    countries. The rate is 12 per 1,000 in Western Europe, where abortion is
    generally permitted on broad grounds. [1]

    • Where abortion is permitted on broad legal grounds, it is generally
    safe, and where it is highly restricted, it is typically unsafe. In
    developing countries, relatively liberal abortion laws are associated
    with fewer negative health consequences from unsafe abortion than are
    highly restrictive laws. [2] [3]

    • In South Africa, the annual number of abortion-related deaths fell by 91 % after the liberalization of the abortion law. [2]

    There are many more stats but it is clear that women will choose to have abortions, legal or not, just as they always have. PP allows women to make that choice without dying as a result. The US, like most of the Western world, has already tried making abortion illegal and knows it only increases the number of deaths.

    Pascal, you are free to make your own choice on abortion. But you will find yourself in a small minority. According to the Gallup poll from May 2012, 72% of Americans support access to abortion under all or certain circumstances. This percentage has stayed constant as far back as 1975.

    I have mixed feelings about the issue but will always see it as part of an individual’s personal freedom of choice. It’s not something for you to decide for someone else.
    How’s that for straight?

  • pascal

    Not very.
