I was watching TV the other night when I saw this negative ad against Sherrod Brown paid for by One Nation America. The ad attacks Sen Brown for supposedly voting to give "Illegal immigrants social security and tax payer health care". The votes they reference in the ad don't really have much to do with the actual bills. Inflation is returning to "normal" levels, gas prices - controlled by big oil, are coming back down as well as grocery costs.
