Democratic Ads have no (round things)
Edited on Sun Aug-27-06 08:37 PM by Kickoutthejams23
If your going to run an ad against Shrub's tax cuts for the rich then run a bloody attack ad.


Here are a couple of free examples Democrats can Use.

Bush tax cuts have given Paris Hilton an additional 300k this year

(cue picture of Miss Hilton)

Lets see how Paris used her new found money. This is what Paris spent it on.

(Show pictures of Paris jetsetting to Eurotrash destinations)

This is where the money came from.

Show mixed race school kids sitting in a doublewide "classroom"


Ad #2 The Bin lauden construction company and it's officers recieved $50 million in tax breaks.

Where that 50 million in US tax money is nobody knows. (show Bush looking clueless)

Where know where it isn't (show us soldiers in a clearly unprotected Humvee.)

We can give the Bin Lauden construction company untracable cash but we can't give our boys and girls body armor. (Show another unflattering picture of Bush. )

Cue decent tag line "there is a better way" or some such nonsence.

If your going after shrub attack for God's sake no more scrolling words to music use simple messages and images Americans can get behind.

:banghead:

1. Very well put...
I think all our candidates could use this advice. Our candidates need to learn to fight fire with fire. You cant win playing nice.

2. "There is a better way..." - that's gold right there!

I would love to see those ads run daily.

I wish there were a way to make it happen. Pettition?

btw, I think most Americans can get behind those!

beggars would ride
The Dems are trying to salvage a nice fat defeat from the jaws a victory. Great commercial material, but leave a few secs for the Dems to apologize. Sorry to be a bummer, but aside from Paul Hackett who is not running. I see a bunch of Dem eunuchs*



* a few notable exceptions

9. I doubt it's coincidental that so many people
who should know better have been competing with
Tony blair for the role of pet puppy-dog.

Dems in congress would have all it takes to show
up the repukes and make it impossible for even
the vote-rigging machines and all the dirty
tricks played to keep the repukes in power -
if they wanted to.

Someone, somehow, has the lot of them by the
short and curlies, and any who wont submit are
ridiculed by both parties until they can be
ousted.
