Just saw a Bush campaign add on TV

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

It starts "First there was the dot com bust". Then it shows the wreckage of the world trade center. The last part says "America's stronger and safer than ever.......we are about to turn the corner"

Chrissakes old chimpy boy thinks these adds will get him reelected? He must think the average American is as dumb as he is.

1. I think Mr. Vote is worried

that I'm going to shoot out the tv when those ads come on.

Of course, I'd have to buy a gun first... Well, then learn how to load and shoot it... And I'd have to lock up the dogs and cats first... But THEN our televisions would be at risk!

I hope you're right that people won't fall for their crap.

2. He must think the average American is as dumb as he is.

There is little evidence, at least to be had from watching C-SPAN, to controvert that statement.

I give Bush's media people full credit for restraint. I am sure that in the original version of the spot, Clinton's dick slammed into the WTC.

22. I hope the average American is

not as dumb as he is. But, they have been seriously propagandized since the Ray-gun years and considerably dumbed down.

3. We must protest the corporate media

To air the MoveOn ads. The RNC is breaking out their lawyer sue machine to stop them.

[ArnoldLayne]

19. MoveOn Ads

We need to stop these attacks on MoveOn.com and the threat to freedom of speech.

[burrowowl]

23. Go to

commoncause.org

They are doing some serious work on the media.

4. i dont want to diss you...

... but i do suspect the "average american" is a little on the slow side, not for any intellectual shortcomings, but because of apathy.
she/he would care more about britney spears' bra size than about the trillion dollar budget deficit.
which is why advertisements are so important. in these times, spin the message right, and even a pig can be sold as a president.

[Kimber Scott]

5. I hope to God all this "stronger and safer" stuff doesn't

goad anybody into another attack anytime soon. I really don't' see how he can say we're "safer." No-one is ever safe from terrorism and he has done nothing to "kill the roots," so to speak, instead he has fed them. I don't know. That kind of talk just makes me nervous as hell.

6. what state are you in?

Just wondering what states they're working on.

Here in California, nobody seems to be bothering.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

7. Washington

The add aired towards the end of "Sixty Minutes".

Are you saying AHnuld isn't swinging California into the Bush camp?

[maggrwaggr]

9. I just haven't seen ANY ads here in Cali. Anyone else?

Just curious where they're spending the money.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

12. I don't know why * thinks he has a chance in Washington?

We went from riding the high tech boom to fighting with Oregon over who has the highest unemployment.

[maggrwaggr]

15. yeah, I'm kinda surprised.

I figured Washington would be pretty solidly democratic, like California.

Oh well, he's gotta spend those $$ somewhere. Classic republican trickle-down. Gee, maybe some of the piss will land on my face!

[K8-EEE]

20. God...NO!!

CA is NOT Bush territory. not not not!! NO chance.

[K8-EEE]

21. Those Ads Bombed Harder Than "Gigli"

Seriously I hope they are this lame with the whole $150 mil.

[justgamma]

10. Iowa here.

I haven't seen the one with the coffin since last night. Today it was with Pickles. It said 'I know how to bring peace to the world. I know how to create jobs. I know what education needs, ad nauseum.

Whoohoo! A moveon ad just came on while I was writing. It's about taking away our overtime. Ended with "George Bush is not on our side"


edit. I've seen the Moveon ads and both NBC and ABC now.

[maggrwaggr]

16. OMG!!! He actually says "I know how to bring peace to the world"?!

I actually about burst a gut when I read that!

I don't know whether to laugh more, or just to puke.

Here's his idea of bringing peace to the world:

[PA Democrat]

14. They're showing here in Pennsylvania

I've seen quite a few Bush ads over the last several days, and also several Moveon ads.

[alcuno]

8. Wasn't the MoveOn ad denied by CBS because it was too controversial?

Isn't campaigning using flag-draped remains controversial?

[LDS Jock]

11. If you have the stomach for it..

here are the ads to view online.

13. Some of them ARE as dumb as he.

:-)

[struggle4progress]

17. But it's certainly thoughtful

of him to remember the horrors of the dotcom bust, which so many have forgotten after WTC, isn't it? I'm pretty sure most Americans have been wondering how long it would take * to remember the dotcoms. Now he has!

[seabeyond]

18. they are in texas

all over the place, a lot on cnn. so much they have quit bugging me and i ignore them.

and cbs didnt show the move on commercial during the superbowl saying no issue ad. i dont think, dont know for sure, that they were not talking never.

24. If Shit-for-Brains has all the answers.........

...... how come the country has been in the toilet for the last three years? Does he really think no one is paying any attention?
