A political ad produced by a Massachusetts state rep is getting national attention today thanks to its universal message: Parents just don't understand.
The openly gay liberal lawmaker Carl M. Sciortino, Jr., who is running to replace now-Senator Ed Markey in next month's special primary election, appears in the ad opposite his dad, Carl M. Sciortino, Sr. — a staunch Tea Party Republican.
"I’ll never forget that conversation with my dad, where I had to come out and tell him..." the younger Sciortino says at the start of the ad.
"Wait for this," the senior Sciortino interjects.
"That I was a Massachusetts liberal," continues the candidate.
It only gets better from there.
That was SO good. I loved everything about it.
Best ad ever.
ReplyDeleteTruth. Compassion. Humor. Justice. Who says liberal Democrats can't kick butt.
That is a great ad. Can't you just see how proud that dad is of his son?
ReplyDeleteHow this dad raised this son is beyond me. Mom must be to blame for the kids liberalism and gay-ness :) Love, love, love this ad and I truly hope that Carl Jr is elected and continues to make his father truly proud. Fantastic ad! They are a wonderful pair who should be celebrated. Now, this is family!
ReplyDeleteHow adorable!
ReplyDeleteWinner!

ReplyDeleteNever thought I'd want to hug a tea-partier! lol What a good sport.
Unconditional love - what a beautiful thing it is!
