My idea for a DNC ad

[Raiden]

"George W. Bush wants to take America back to the 50's. John Kerry wants to lead America into the future. Which direction do you to go?"

Simple but effective. :)

1. Problem is, a lot of people think the 1950s were great.

Revisionist history and hazy "nostalgia" has some people thinking it was all Ozzie & Harriet.

2. You mean 1950 or 50 B.C. ?

Back to the good old days when sinners were stoned, crucified or fed to the lions...

3. Sorry, I lived in the 50's and except for the threat from the USSR

I would be more than happy to have those days back.

[Raiden]

7. Yeah, those witch-hunts were so much fun

If you juxtapose Bush and Joseph McCarty, you'll see a lot of similarities, openly attacking the 'enemy within,' witch-hunts, loyalty oaths, etc. With McCarty, the Communist threats was enoung to warrant trampling the Bill of Rights, with Bush, its terrorism.

The clear difference between George W. Bush and John Kerry is that of a reactionary and a progressive.

9. I was referring to quality of everyday life. We didn't have to lock

our doors, there were no Walmarts, you could do business on a handshake. I was raised and still live in a rural area, back when I
was a kid we could go hunting or fishing almost anyplace. Today everyone is afraid of being sued so all property is posted. The economy was booming in this area from the steel mills and coal-mining. When you got out of high school you could get a good paying job in industry and raise a family on a single income. There was no Vietnam, the President spent his days on the golf course. The President could walk around DC every morning with no guards. When Kerry was in this area the other day they had Secret Service snipers on the roof tops and even on the hilltop 1/2 mile across the river.
Hey, my parents thought the 30's were the good old days!

4. Keep thinking Raiden! Very creative stuff. How about something like

this, since Bush loves to play dress-up: A Delorian car like "Back to the Future," and have a Bush lookalike getting into it and passing a gas sign that says, 90$ a gallon with a sinister smile (just use any smile of Bush's) with the environment dark and gloomy from Bush's futuristic world of mass oil consumption. Then cut to John Kerry in a hybrid with a clear blue sky and saying something like, "What do you want your children to inherit in 10 years?"

[Fed Up]

5. Here is my idea for a DNC ad

Show a pickup truck sporting a Bush/Cheney bumper sticker with 3 fisherman or hunters inside, saying how great Bush is.

Then when they get to their favorite hunting grounds it's taken over with lumberjacks or bulldozers just clearcutting the whole place.

A man hollers at them, "Get off the property, this is no longer federal land."

Disgusted, they leave questioning their opinion about Bush.





Or variations of this theme.

6. Excellent! In this area all our hunting and fishing areas were built

by public works projects from the FDR era. The Ohio river was dead 40 years ago and because of the EPA standards that the Democrats pushed through the river is back and the fishing is great. But the same people that enjoy fishing and hunting bitch about the EPA and the Democrats????

8. I would like to see an ad showing

a bunch of Saudis driving Mercedes, talking on cell phones, and eating at fancy restaurants. A Saudi voice could be describing the great jobs that have been created under George Bush. Then show an unemployment line in Ohio.
