Hilarious Mock Campaign Ad Boasts Platform Of 'Willful Ignorance' (VIDEO)

From UCB Comedy comes this hilarious mock campaign ad for Michael Sharp, a "candidate" for U.S. Senate with one of the most original campaign strategies we've ever heard. Running on a platform of willful ignorance may seem like a bad idea, but based on what some of the other 2010 midterm election candidates have been saying, it's not so far off base. Sharp is an honest guy who honestly doesn't want to learn anything new ever again. Ever.

Listen to what Sharp promises to do if elected, and see if he sounds anything like the people who are really running for Senate this fall. (Via Babelgum)

This is the FUNNIEST thing I've heard in a long, long time. People HAVE to hear this! What a hoot! While he may or may not get elected, he's the only candidate telling the truth!

This video reminds me of what House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) said on the August 1, 2010 broadcast of "Fox News Sunday," hosted by Chris Wallace:

WALLACE: Congressman, a number of top economists say what we need is more economic stimulus.

BOEHNER: Well, I don’t need to see GDP numbers or to listen to economists. All I need to do is listen to the American people, because they’ve been asking the question now for 18 months, “where are the jobs?”

By the way, Boehner was arguing AGAINST the need for more stimulus funding.

Well done. Captures the current mood pretty well
Information ? You are a elitist!
Facts? You are afraid!
Disagree? You are a traitor!
Reasonable? You will get no news coverage!
and so on it goes...

Nominate 2012-Angle/O'Donnell/Paul and Mrs.Todd Palin as Queen of the Grifting for Gold in the name of God with her boo, the AK King of Gubbmint Handouts, Joe Miller. Oh, yeah AIP (Alaskan Independence Party) Toad Palin as Secretary of State and John McCain as the GOPT Court Jester.

What is wrong with the GOPT (Grand Old Tea Party, pronounced 'Got P')?

Perhaps the answer is the same as the question? GOTP, why yes we do...

We can make fun of these people all we want; but in two weeks, a least a few of them are going to win. Sad times.
