Crossroads GPS Ads, 2011-12
From the "failed stimulus" to Solyndra to high gas
prices to the deficit and debt, Crossroads GPS produced a series of
ads sharply critical of President Obama. In one interesting ad,
"Basketball," the woman actress states, "I supported
President Obama because he spoke so beautifully. He promised
change, but things changed for the worse." From May 17 to the end of
July the ads concluded with a tag line promoting a "New Majority
Agenda."
After July, Crossroads GPS appeared to run just a couple
of paid ads
focusing on Obama. Crossroads GPS' final ad, "Mitt and David"
marked an
effort to present Romney as someone who cares about people.
According to the Sunlight Foundation Reporting Group's
"Follow the
Unlimited Money" (+),
Crossroads
GPS spent $15.3 million on independent expenditures opposing Obama and
$6.8 million on independent expenditures supporting Romney.
Ed. Note: There was
another interesting ad "Mesa de Cocina" from
Oct.
30, 2012, but I have not been able to confirm that if it actually
aired or was a web video. |
