I’ll given Dan Sebring credit; he’s certainly not afraid to take a chance at offending voters. You’ll remember Sebring as the Republican “Tea Party” candidate who failed miserably in his quest to unseat Democratic Rep. Gwen Moore in 2010, but you may also remember Sebring from the press release he issued announcing his candidacy in 2010, a press release in which Sebring proudly proclaimed his status as a Mayflower descendent.
Not content with the electoral drubbing he received at the hands of Rep. Moore in 2010 – a drubbing which came in a huge wave year favoring Republicans, no less – Sebring is gearing up for another loss in 2012, and this time he’s bringing ramen noodles and mayonnaise sandwiches with him.
Having been poor at one point in my life, I find Sebring’s “ad” offensive on any number of levels, but I wouldn’t expect Mayflower descendent Dan Sebring to understand why his “ad” might be viewed as grossly offensive by broad swaths of the constituency he hopes to represent.
Oh Any One’s God!
I think he’s referring to Moore’s speech, which I guess would also offend anyone that would have been offended by this commercial.
