'The Wizard of Oz' was an opportunistic fraud! Remember ??

He just happened to land at the right place at the right moment-- like Dr. Oz in Pennsylvania.

Of course, the 'wizard' in the film was a man with a good heart, in the end---

Dr. Oz is worse than that, he is an outright fascist and nazi-wannabe.

none-the-less, I root for him to ultimately win the GQP PA Senate primary. He is the best representative of what their party has become.



The Fetterman campaign, and national DNC senate campaign should take advantage of his unusual and unlikely name...
and run some negative ads with 'The Wizard of Oz' tie-in, in my humble opinion...

I envision one advertisement, with 'Toto' pulling back the curtain on the 'false wizard', and exposing a list of extremist-right political positions which he has taken, which the vast majority of the citizens of Pennsylvania oppose...


Others more clever than I may come up with something better, and that would be fine.

Republican extremist candidates are giving us a gift in this difficult year, and we should take the goddamn gloves off and take advantage of all such things. "They hate us for telling the truth about them".

Inflation be damned!! It is their only possible defense against what monsters they have become!

We should be able to destroy them, with THEIR OWN WORDS, in this cycle...

2. Possibly there could be a valid roll for the 'wicked witch',

or 'the twister'...


Ideas, anyone ??

3. Funny

But not recommended. The Wizard of Oz is a beloved movie and literary character, not an evil one. Why label Doctor Oz with a favorable image already implanted in peoples’ minds just because he has the same name?

It sounds funny on the surface and we’ll-intentioned, but a DNC that spends money to label Doctor Oz as the Wizard of Oz isn’t helping Fetterman. That would be spending money to create a softer and likable image of the wretched, vile Dr. Fucking Oz, and a terrible campaign move.

Keep brainstorming , you’re on the right track.👏
IMHO. 😜

8. The idea was not to "label" him as 'the wizard of oz',

but to pull back his curtain.

What is there to see is not favorable or likable in the least.

9. AGREE!

Would be awesome, if ALL the campaign adds would show him BEHIND the curtain. Showing what he REALLY is!

I feel you. And lucky for America, Pennsylvania does, too.

5. Oprah's "dr" Oz has nothing to do with the masterpiece literary/movie item.

6. Name recognition. Endorsement from a spineless, brainless, heartless impervious imbicile.

Good enough?

7. yes, but that would require we "go high"

and the Democrat's are not letting their louder, harder voices speak in the name of "unity", which will mean jack when the army of "lone gunmen" play target practice with our skulls

10. A fictional character, developed to show that what we seek often lives inside us already.

Not seeing the parallel.

Never mind that the audience who loved that movie, myself included, is probably quickly becoming a minority of voters due to age.
