Personally I like Bobert. She is the poster girl for the GOP bull crap. Talking about law and order about family values while jerking off a guy in a theater. Maybe those who think we should quit picking on her son, should ask maybe he shouldn’t be committing felonies. Just a thought

There's a typo in the tagline which weakens this already vague ad. I think it could have been clearer and more direct. In any case, please fix "their" to be "they're." To wit:

"LOCK UP CRIMINALS! Except when they're my kids."

It was on purpose. She doesn't know how to spell.

Aha. I see your point, though I don't think their's :-) a way to distinguish the satire from it being your own mistake. Maybe a "[sic]"? Ah, no, never mind--that's awfully academic. Well, whatever you decide, I thought the ad relies too much on people already knowing the story of what's been going on. It's my opinion that a micro-retelling of the story, before getting to the point that you're making in this ad, would bring a broader audience with you.

Not to digress, but I am with you on her being illiterate. Remember the time she confused "wanton" for "wonton"? And I liked this other one so much I saved the video: she is speaking to a group of people, explaining to them, more than once, that "unalienable" is pronounced un-uh-LEEN-able. Preposterous. I expect government representatives to be literate.

Leave her kids out if it. I feel sorry for the kids from this ad. I would keep strictly to her votes, policies, and actions.

The "kid" is 20 years old, has a child, and was arrested for 3 felonies, stole from a disabled woman, and has child support issues. Do you think she would ignore this gift if this story was about a Democrat? HA.

Her son has been arrested multiple times, for both felonies and misdemeanors.

Criminal possession of stolen financial devices. Stolen credit cards.

And according to you we should leave the poor child alone. Maybe you should keep up with the news going on.

Apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree, they are a product of the mom so yes they should be accountable like everyone else.

IMO, focus on her horrendous policy positions and personal behavior., maybe?

I think this is a terrible ad! There’s so much more to get her on without bringing her kid into it. If this airs, I doubt it will have the desired result and might even make her sympathetic as you’re showing a situation so many can relate to.

Sorry, but this is why democrats lose. Repubs give us ammunition, and we never use it.

Democrats run from real problems, and I agree the Republicans give us ammo and the feeble Dems stand silent. However Bobert is way down the scale in my opinion

Son is charged with multiple felonies, and misdemeanors. Credit card theft and , possession of stolen financial devices. The poor little child has got himself in the news.

Maybe you should quit excusing behaviors.
