Junior's fucking commercial is on every goddamn 10 minutes!

[AntiCoup2K4]

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

This is excruciating, but in the long run it could be beneficial. Overexposure always reaches its peak, then comes the total rejection.

[Monument]

1. watch the language, please

[OhioStateProgressive]

6. It is a terrible fucking commercial(nt)

[yardwork]

2. Plus think of all the money he's wasting.

[onehandle]

3. Where are you?

And have you seen any MoveOn ads?

[Leilani]

17. I saw a great Move On ad on CNN

because they were comparing Bush ads to Move On ads.

It showed a man coming home late at night from work; his wife is sleeping, & he's worried about bills. It infers he has 2 jobs.
And it talks about Bush cutting out overtime pay.

It's very effective.

[shivaji]

32. If he is working two jobs, he has no overtime hours....duh

You cant get OT unless you put in more than 8 hours.
When I had two jobs, I put in 8 hours on my day job and 3 to
4 hours in my evening job. There was just no more time left
to make OT an issue.

[Leilani]

36. Well I saw the guy from Move On on CNN today

& they showed the commercial. He said it inferred the guy had 2 jobs because he was home so late. In the voice over, it talks about Bush being against working families.Overtime pay was mentioned.

Anyway, the message is Bush stinks for working families!

[bigwillq]

4. I haven't seen the ads yet

excpet for the promos that ran all day on CNN. Have yet to see it anywhere else but haven't really been by my TV at all today.

[Skip Intro]

5. Please describe the commercial

I just read earlier today that they had pulled the "9*11" ads.

Danke.

:D

[MoonRiver]

11. They pulled the 9/11 ads?

That's GREAT news! That bastard * was dancing on the graves of those he killed, through negligance or worse.

[Skip Intro]

19. Yeah, read it here

and I almost hope its wrong, frankly.

I wonder if those ads shouldn't be seen by as many people as possible - it exposes the greedy, slimy, unAmerican thugs for what they are.

But yeah, there was a thead in GD before I went for a job interview today, about one or two o'clock this afternoon, that said bushco had pulled the 9*11 exploitation ads.

Not sure if that panned out to be true or not.

[Skip Intro]

24. *"Bush* is going to pull his 9-11 Ad"

[G_j]

29. ABC news tonight:

they have absolutely no intention of pulling the ads.

[Auntie Bush]

25. What do you mean every 10 min...

It's been on TV for two whole days on every single channel all day long! I'm sick of it!!!!!

[BootinUp]

7. Not playing in here

in North GA (Bush Country) on cable news anyway.

[Leilani]

10. I heard they targeted 17 or 18 states

that were close last time, or are considered tossups.

I think those of us in safe states for either side, will not be deluged the way others will.

Also, they're supposed to be running on sports channels for golf events & Nascar races.

[KenLayedOff]

8. What channel are you watching?

I don't see any on sci-fi.

[AntiCoup2K4]

18. KOMO TV - ABC affiliate in Seattle

And yes they are the 9-11 ads.

They did run the Move On ad. Once :grr:

[KenLayedOff]

23. Can you get a counter ad started?

That is what is needed on these local stations that are anti-democratic.

[dsc]

9. I have only seen the ad once

Erie PA CBS affiliate. But I think it is a poor ad. In addition to the guolishness it just plain is a poor ad. It associates Bush with recession and terror. Not what I would like to do if I wanted to get him elected.

[dsc]

12. In contrast

The Move on ad is great. I just saw it on the same affiliate. This is the one with the hard working man who can't get overtime pay. Simple, great image, and to the point. Very well done.

[IndianaGreen]

13. We have 8 months of this shit!

I plan to change the channel whenever anything political comes on.

Thank Gawd the Sopranos's new season starts this Sunday!

[JHBowden]

14. I'm sick of Junior fucking period!

If even his ads are bad, why do we want four more years of his policy?

[mikehiggins]

15. Worse yet, the "news" shows are running it for free as part of their

"fair and balanced" commentary. Still nowhere near the showing that they gave the Dean "scream" but still a sizeable amount of air time that BushCo doesn't have to put up a dime for.

[Leilani]

20. Yeah, but theyre showing the criticisms

from the 9/11 families, talking about how he is exploiting the tragedy for political gain.

The fact that they dragged out Karen Hughes today to argue the ads were great, shows there is a problem.

[BootinUp]

26. Yep

Hughes to the rescue is a sign.

But I never could figure how people actually believe anything out of that b*****s mouth.

[salinen]

16. The major networks

fresh from Michael Powell shank, must now return the favor and give free time to the mafia. That 200 million is more like 400 million at the wholesale price.

[mzmolly]

21. OMG. I haven't had the pleasure of seeing it "yet"

*sigh*

Nothing like allowing or planning a national tragedy and then using it to your political advantage. :eyes:

What a Mother F**ker!

[shivaji]

33. Junior is showing it in ONLY contested states....................nt

[Red_Storm]

22. At work CNBC is on all day and

that stupid ass commercial is played ALL DAY LONG...........I don't know what makes me sicker......Bush talking or his wife there next to him with that grin on her face.........

[adadem]

27. Both MoveOn and bush ads

are running in Michigan.

[GoneOffShore]

28. Move-On Ad as antidote

We have seen the * ad once this evening (Thursday) on the local ABC affiliate(Philadelphia, PA), but have also seen the Move On '* not on our side' commercial. It is very effective and I'm not sure if the voice over isn't a local guy.
If Move On continues to produce commercials of this quality, with a message as hard hitting and thought provoking to people in the blue collar arena, I have a feeling that we've got a good chance of kicking the thieves out.

[fujiyama]

30. Which state do you live in?

[Rose Siding]

31. The RNC knows just what its doing

and that ad has GOT to be answered.

Bearing in mind that the RNC would have done extensive testing on the expected outrage from the expected factions and already pre-determined any damage, what else do these ads do?

They take everyone right back to that day.

That day, when even I looked to bush to lead. I prayed for him! That day when an overwhelming majority of Americans were scared, pissed, vindictive and ready to take up arms. Remember shortly after when the firefighters booed Gere for suggesting that we not hold all of Islam responsible?

Now, which party does the under-educated public consistently, unfailingly chose as being Strongest On National Security? According to Lindsay at Brookings in October 03, repubs are chosen by a margin of 20-40% over Dems, depending on the poll.

Without blowing this back in their face with the full force of Bush's Responsibility, that's the ball game. The DNC HAS to do this but I have no hope that they will. Already Lieberman is shaking his little fists and whining that bush AND kerry must dial back the partisan rhetoric!

It's easy.

Use the same damn WTC footage as in bush's ad and ask:

"Who was in charge that day? On whose watch did we lose three thousand Americans?"

[LizW]

35. This is Kerry's first chance to show some spine

He needs to tear Bush's head off about this.

He needs to say, "9/11 was the worst tragedy imaginable for thousands of wives, husbands, children, fathers, and siblings. It broke the hearts of Americans and changed our country forever. But it was the best day of George Bush's life."

Kerry needs to have a chart made with that graph showing Bush's approval rating spiking upwards on 9/11, and again at the beginning of the Iraq war.

He needs to use words like despicable, cynical, and calculating. He needs to call this what it is: using the corpses of murdered Americans for Bush's political gain.

And while he's at it, Kerry could mention how anxious Bush is to show us the flag covered corpse of one 9/11 firefighter, but has hidden the 500+ flag-covered coffins of our dead soldiers that he sent to fight a war based on lies.

[Lugnut]

34. Oh, yeah.

I've seen it a bunch of times already. I suspect it's all about my location. This is PA and Jr wants to win here. :eyes: My husband saw it for the first time today. His reaction was, "Are they nuts? This happened on the $%^#$%^#$% watch!"

wrong message, apologies!
