With political campaigns becoming increasingly cutthroat, ads often gain more notoriety than the candidates' policies. We've assembled some of the campaign spots that have caused a stir so far in 2011.
This ad from Rick Perry aims to highlight similarities between rival Mitt Romney and President Obama, pinning Obama's controversial health care law on Romney's shoulders. The ad paints Obama and Romney as friends and co-conspirators.
Ads playing on the fear of Chinese dominance over America have become a recent addition to political campaigns. This one is from Mark Amodei's 2011 special election campaign in Nevada's 2nd Congressional District, which he won handily.
This ad by Ron Paul compares his own early endorsement of Ronald Reagan, the golden boy of the Republican Party, with former Democrat Rick Perry's endorsement of Al Gore in 1988.
This spot, which has been denounced as one of the most sexist and racist ads of all time, ran solely on YouTube. Sponsored by the conservative group Turn Right USA, the ad superimposes Democrat Janice Hahn's face onto that of a stripper and accuses her of helping gang members get out of prison to "rape and kill again." Craig Huey, Hahn's opponent in the special election in California's 36th District, denied any connection to the ad. Hahn won the July election.
Using clips of a speech Obama delivered to Congress in September, the Democratic National Committee calls on Republicans in Congress to pass the president's jobs bill.
Democrat Dan Adler's Korean/Jewish advertisement garnered national attention--with some calling it "cringe-worthy" and "vaguely racist"--but it didn't translate into votes. Running a long-shot campaign in California's 36th District, Adler received 0.54 percent of the vote.
Rick Perry takes a shot at Obama with this ad, which contends that none of the change Obama promised has delivered. Using striking images of run-down buildings to contrast with Obama's words of hope, Perry ends the ad by portraying himself as a true American.
Former Texas Secretary of State Roger Williams released this ad in August 2011 as part of his campaign for Texas' newly created 33rd Congressional seat. The humorous ad, which depicts Democrats as "donkeys" who want "handouts," went viral in conservative circles.
Romney's ad shows scenes of Obama on election night in Chicago while highlighting dire circumstances now facing the city's residents.

Election 2012
The folks who are getting the free stuff, don't like the folks who are paying for the free stuff, because the folks who are paying for the free stuff can no longer afford to pay for both the free stuff and their own stuff.
The folks
who are paying for the free stuff want the free stuff to stop, and the folks
who are getting the free stuffwant even more free stuff on top of
the free stuff they are already getting!
Now... The
people who are forcing the people who pay for the free stuff have told the
people who are RECEIVING the free stuff, that the people who are PAYING for
the free stuff, are being mean, prejudiced, and racist.
So... The
people who are GETTING the free stuff have been convinced they need to hate
the people who are paying for the free stuff by the people who are forcing
some people to pay for their free stuff, and giving them the free
stuff in the
first place.
We have let the free stuff giving go on for so long that
there are now more people getting free stuff than paying for the free
stuff.
Now understand this. All great democracies have
com mitted financial suicide somewhere between 200
and 250 years after being founded. The reason?The voters figured
out they could vote themselves money from the treasury by electing
people who promised to give them money from the treasury in exchange
for electing them.
The United
States officially became a Republic in 1776,
235 years ago. The number of people now getting free stuff outnumbers the
people paying for the free stuff. We have one chance to change that. In 2012.
Failure to change that spells the end of the
United States
as we know it.
ELECTION 2012 IS COMING
A Nation of Sheep Breeds a Government of Wolves!
I'M 100% for PASSING THIS ON!!!
Let’s take a stand!!!
Obama:Gone!
Borders: Closed!
Language: English only
Culture: Constitution, and the Bill of Rights!
Drug Free: Mandatory Drug Screening before Welfare!
