Pair of hands holding a layoff letter over a table.

Voice: That was an American job and you are an American.

Pair of hands holding a job acceptance letter over a table.

Indian music playing in the background

Voice: Now a foreigner has stolen that job from you, no different than if they had broke into your house and stole your television.

Voice and graphics: Vote for <insert name here>

2. That's a good question.
I mean, all the GOP candidates are bigoted enough to use race-baiting, but how many are not in favor of outsourcing?

It's a conundrum.

4. Ironic timing
Since the recent Nobel-Laureate is largely responsible for this very thing happening to us right now. It's nice that he won the award. It's a real shame no one seems to remember what he and his boss did to American jobs, and did gleefully.

Perhaps the ad could include a fade-out of empty American manufacturing plants, and a fade-in to all the manufacturing plants being built in Mexico.

Thanks a lot, Al.

I know morale is high because of the Nobel Prize and all, but I'll bet I'm not the only one who has a lot of trouble forgiving him for selling us out. So forgive me for not hopping on the bandwagon.

5. I view this ad as negativity as the one I based it on: Jessie Helms white hands, black hands ad
from the 90's.

6. Ron Paul, hands down
Edited on Fri Oct-12-07 12:36 PM by TornadoTN
Although I can't disagree with the sentiment, since so many jobs are being shipped over there at the cost of jobs here.

*Edit to clarify: It's a good point, but there are much better ways to illustrate this than to use blatant racism to pander to the lowest common denominator. Sadly enough, it would be the only ad that Americans would actually notice.*
