Paulsen is trying to cheat his way to election! He sets a very poor standard of decency for his four daughters…not the type of fair minded, moderate representation we need in Washington. Ashwin Madia would never condone the type of deception being spewed forth from Paulsen and his local allies, not to mention the RNC’s Racist ad! Paulsen’s latest door hangar’s are filled with lies about Madia…more of the same from Erik…disgusting!

I think you’re correct, DtM.

And I don’t understand why TPT had to send the second request, and then follow up with a media advisory - alerting the media of Paulsen’s illegal activity and requesting TV stations refuse to air the ad that violated copywrite status.

Although I don’t understand that, my guess is it’s because the little weasel figures if he cheats and wins, he can always apologize later - and if he loses, who cares?

But that guess is only because I’ve been following his career since 1994….

I think the campaign should stop using their material.

OK, now that you have - how do you feel about Paulsen ripping TPT copywrited material for his political commercials, and ignoring TPT’s demand that he cease and desist?

DtM, did you bother to read the title of this thread, let alone what Aaron wrote?

Because it sure looks like you didn’t.

I wasn’t aware of Erik Paulsen’s campaign doing that.

I don’t, however, condone the NRCC doing it.

DtM - your commentary leads reasonable people to reasonably conclude you have no probelmo with Erik Paulsen’s campaign ripping TPT copywrited footage for campaign purposes.

I’m not surprised you condone that.

No.

This question is only relevant because Democrats are quick to distance Madia from the DCCC anti-Paulsen ad that scored an ‘F’ for truthfulness.

Actually, it was the Paulsen campaign that used the TPT footage, not an RNCC ad.
