Frozen (advertisement)
"Frozen" (also called the "Ballad of Dannie Goeb") was a political advertisement issued by incumbent David Dewhurst's campaign on YouTube during the 2014 primary runoff for Lieutenant Governor of Texas against Dan Patrick. Dewhurst, the three-term lieutenant governor, faced primary challenge from Tea Party favorite Dan Patrick. During the primary, Patrick triggered a runoff between Dewhurst and him by only capturing 41% of the vote. "Frozen" consisted of an edited version of Patrick, dressed like Elsa, singing a parody of "Let It Go". The lyrics to the parody claim that Patrick changed his name to avoid past debits. Dan Patrick's campaign denied the allegations and release its own ''Frozen'' themed advertisement called DewFeed. DewFeed consisted of a webpage with GIFs from ''Frozen'' with captions extolling Patrick's conservative virtues and attacking Dewhurst. Background Between 2003 and 2015, David Dewhurst served as the 42nd Lieutenant Governor of Texas. During his three te ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Political Advertisement
In politics, campaign advertising is the use of an advertising campaign through the media to influence a political debate, and ultimately, voters. These ads are designed by political consultants and political campaign staff. Many countries restrict the use of broadcast media to broadcast political messaging. In the European Union, many countries do not permit paid-for TV or radio advertising for fear that wealthy groups will gain control of airtime, making fair play impossible and distorting the political debate in the process. In both the United Kingdom and Ireland, paid advertisements are forbidden, though political parties are allowed a small number of party political broadcasts in the run up to election time. The United States has a very free market for broadcast political messaging. Canada allows paid-for political broadcasts but requires equitable access to the airwaves. Campaigns can include several different media (depending on local law). The time span over w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Politics Of Texas
For about a hundred years, from after Reconstruction until the 1990s, the Democratic Party dominated Texas politics. In a reversal of alignments, since the late 1960s the Republican Party has grown more prominent. By the 1990s, it became the state's dominant political party and remains so to this day. Texas remains a majority Republican state as of 2022, with Republicans controlling every statewide office, Republican majorities in the State House and Senate, an entirely Republican Texas Supreme Court, and having two Republican Senators in US Congress. Despite this, the state is slowly becoming more competitive, as in 2020 Joe Biden came within 5.5 percentage points of winning the state. Cultural background The 19th-century culture of the state was heavily influenced by the plantation culture of the ''Old South,'' dependent on African-American slave labor, as well as the ''patron'' system once prevalent (and still somewhat present) in northern Mexico and South Texas. In these soc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

A variety of methods are deployed in politics, which include promoting one's own political views among people, negotiation with other political subjects, making laws, and exercising internal and external force, including ...
