Did they Democrats actually think hiring this geriatric as an actor to read lines to push Maggie would appeal to people?

In light of the last thread about this spot and how mean people were...this is a real, live NH resident. He definitely contributed to the system as a professional and during retirement he volunteers and is active. I know him. He's a very kind man. I think he thought he was doing the right thing by agreeing to appear in this tv spot and I think the PAC/commercial spot producers did him dirty. Terrible quotes, terrible camera angle, and terrible production along with OVERplaying the dang spot. Hate the spot, but please be mindful that he's a real man, dad and grandpa here in the the Granite State.

Being in MA, I can't wait to not see another NH political ad! OMG I wish these guys would stick to Channel 9 (in New Hamster).

In this thread, commenters pretend that they were born yesterday and have never seen a bad local political ad before.

Oh I don't have anything against him personally other than the fact that he agreed to help promote Haggie, but I'd forgive him for that too.

I already don't like the DNC so I'm good there too.

I think we've all seen bad political ads, which makes this one remarkable with how absolutely terrible it is.

It's not this dudes fault. Somebody edited this together, watched it, and somehow approved it. Those are the assholes.

Guy doesn't even understand that social security is an unsustainable program and the sooner we shut it down the better. Give him his due but current 50 year olds should be on notice, the well is drying up

Feelings are all fine & good but for the love of God please don’t vote on emotions. That’s how we got CornPop’s grandpa

This election comes down being evicted vs maybe having a small chance in hell to actually get by - or more simply put being in a depression vs a recession.

Both sides are clowns it’s a matter of which side is less of a sideshow.

Nope. Hard NOPE. Social Security is funded and will remain so long after you're dead. People like you have been saying this every year for last 50 years that I am aware of and they continue to be wrong.

Imagine if you get disabled on your job tomorrow and need the social safety net. I guess you have probably saved enough to not rely on taxpayers for the length of your disability. Otherwise, STFU.

Replying to Umamilover77 (#302,741)

I’ve repeatedly stated that disability is a different animal from regular SS. Stop being a baby and going on emotion. Be objective if it’s at all possible. Social security (NOT SSDI) is unsustainable and you economically illiterate hacks cannot fathom removing some powers from the government if it means you have to be less accountable for your own future.

Apparently you’re not a property owner in this state. Even the Supreme Court NH said education funding based on property taxes is unconstitutional, yet 10 years later the legislature Go controlled hasn’t fixed it.

I’m not sure either side has had a good policy in 30 years. But I was strictly speaking about voting based on emotions. Not policy. But the same principles do apply.

Feelings are how we’ve justified sending over 50 billion dollars to Ukraine. In my mind it’s just a replacement for Afghanistan & the military industrial complex.

You don't know crap. Read the notice on the SS website. This is a fully funded program. People are sick of all the conspiracy, right wing, cry baby whining. It's tiring and a waste of all our energy that could be put towards the good.

Is there a back story here on this guy? Not a fan of Don myself but for this guy to complain about a man that served his life in the military has done more for American life then a large man with a political position.

"As a result of changes to Social Security enacted in 1983, benefits are now expected to be payable in full on a timely basis until 2037, when the trust fund reserves are projected to become exhausted"

After which benefits will have to be cut by 13% or federal payroll taxes raised by 14%. I lean more left but social security will look nothing like it does now by the time I get to see any of it. It won't run out but it will likely be severely diminished.

Is pulling the plug on a person declared a permanent vegetable also murder? Or is that a compassionate release from the world? I mean that is a living person with friends and family, a career, bills to pay etc. They've got a lot more to lose by ending their life than an underdeveloped fetus does.

Also no woman gets to their 8th month and wants to terminate their pregnancy. Those that have to do it in order to save their own life. And its not something they will ever forget or truly emotionally heal from. No person should ever be punished or looked down upon for exploiting the most basic of self preservation instincts. If your house was on fire, would you just sit and accept the flames, or would you fight like hell to get out?
