1. HOLY COW!!!

WOW!!! :wow: :wow: :wow: I love this guy for running this ad!

[Bozita]

2. I'm a junkie for political ads. ... WOW!

Ad of the year!

[LynnTheDem]

3. Holy bloody heck!!!

WOWZAH!!! About TIME someone stood up and spoke FACT, TRUTH and REALITY and damn the MFing rightwingnuts!

:patriot:

[blonndee]

4. Dayum! Wish there was someone like that round here.

Not a goddamned chance of that, though.

Anyone know what Sanders' chances are?

[mikelewis]

5. Who knows any more... Running this sort of ad is a real wildcard.

Either it will sell big and gain him a lot of attention or it'll blow up in his face. I'd say, all bets are off until the smoke clears. This, as John would say, is "ballsalicious".

[longship]

6. Woof Woof!!!

I'd give that one the Yellow Dog of the Week Award.
Damn! That guy's a real Democrat!!

That's one hard-hitting ad.

[OneBlueSky]

7. if EVERY Democratic candidate would run the ad . . .

we'd win in a landslide . . .

unfortunately, many Democratic candidates -- particularly incumbents -- are more part of the problem than of the solution . . .

[radfringe]

8. my partner recently commented

we went into Afghanistan to "git Bin-Laden" - didn't "git" him

we went into Iraq to "git Wmds" - there weren't any

now we're expected to go into Iran to git nukes? are there any there to "git" or is this just another lie?

[mhatrw]

19. Didn't git that anthrax killer, either. n/t

[NMMNG]

9. Amazing and ballsy

I wish all the dems would do something like that.

[magellan]

10. AWRIGHT!

And to heck with the DCCC for trying to pull that ad. The truth HURTS. More of the same, please! And best of luck to Sanders!

[dave123williams]

11. It's about time somebody called a lie a lie, instead of 'misleadership'.

[Greyhound]

12. If I lived in Ohio, I'd be at his campaign office in the morning.

About freaking time!
:kick:

[Sydnie]

13. WOW .... great ad

but far too short. I could watch much more of that!!!


Please sir, I want some more!

[Tulum_Moon]

14. RUN IT

Run it NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am desparate!

[rosesaylavee]

15. Thanks for posting

Wasn't able to give much, but sent him $10 for his campaign. If all of us who could, would, it would help him get to the $9000 goal.

We need more commercials like that across the country.

[karlrschneider]

30. Me too, I paypal'd a sawbuck, can't afford 99 for an Ohio state seat

but ever' little bit helps. :D

[myrna minx]

16. Wow. Just wow.

:wow:

[TahitiNut]

17. NO "wow" from me. That kind of ad should be NORMAL by now!!

It's the truth! It's FACT. FUCK the notion that airing it is "heroic" -- doing the right thing MUST BE SEEN AS NORMAL!

Goddamned cowardly appeasers!

[walldude]

18. No shit... the pendulum has swung so far to the right that

an ad that tells the truth seems... radical. Sad times.

[tbyg52]

20. Could someone *please*

post a transcript, or at least a summary, for us dial-up people? The article had a separate statement, but not actually what was on the commercial.

[Rainscents]

22. Here you go...

Republican operatives are already expressing outrage over the imagery in the new Charles Sanders TV spot for the Ohio special election in the 3rd Congressional district on FRIDAY, September 15th

There is a TV spot donations link below if you would like to encourage Mr. Sanders for taking his courageous, unapologetic stand.

STATEMENT OF CHARLES SANDERS

The Bush Administration is perhaps the most unnerving, duplicitous band of pirates to ever occupy the White House. Most likely, it will be decades before the full magnitude of evasiveness and paranoia is known concerning how this Administration initiates policy. The Bush people have punished assistants who have become whistle blowers from its very beginning. It fired the photographer who took the picture featured in my new TV spot because it adequately frames the reality of the Bush occupation of Iraq. The American People deserve a representative who will expose surreptitious conduct by its government, whether done in my district or outside of it. And you can help me do it by submitting my action page to call for our troops to start coming home now.

ACTION PAGE: http://www.charleswsanders.org/petitions/pnum457.php

Many Veterans, including myself, do question this unholy war because of the sheer weight of the lies surrounding why it was initiated in the first place. Our heart and prayers go out to the hundreds of Military personnel who sacrificed all to maintain the United States integrity and mandated resolve to bring some semblance of order in this most unstable part of the world. With such a high price being paid, should we allow over the top politicians a pass on accountability? I should hope not. If each American family must take responsibility for its own, then surely each level of government should also be so regulated. It is a fact that most of our soldiers, Marines, sailors and airman were dispatched with inadequate body armor and shielding to protect military vehicles in the most vulnerable areas.

Military personnel, including our national guard, were sent to Iraq, with no formal training on how to defend against road side bombs and other improvised munitions. Our ad seeks to highlight the failures of the Bush Administration and those who acquiesce with it. Iraq must be allowed to stand up for itself, sooner not later. We simply cannot sit idly by and say "not my problem." The whole fiasco is all of our problems, so therefore, we must END it. Enough chicanery already, let the truth be known and maybe, just maybe, enough political will can emerge to force an end to this senseless war. My career minded baby brother is headed back to the middle East next month, I want what is best for him. I have been out of the military for thirty nine years, but I still actively care about our deployed military forces. Why can't we be honest and face reality that we are going nowhere in Iraq? We now must seek the honorable route out of Iraq before more antagonisms surface against the best that America has to offer.

Your humble representative,
CHARLES W. SANDERS
CANDIDATE FOR UNITED STATES CONGRESS.

[tbyg52]

23. Is that text the ad?

I thought it was a separate statement, because it seemed kinda long for a TV spot. Thanks!

[Rainscents]

24. I believe it is.

I watched the ad, however, text seems to be longer. It as same content but longer.

[Rex]

21. Well he is a fellow Sanders...so he gets my 'vote'.

His ad looks like something I would do! Vote this guy in Ohio!!!!

[Xenotime]

25. YEA!! Somebody who is speaking the truth! I like it!

[OzarkDem]

26. His district includes Wright Patterson AFB

I hope it goes over with them, its a great ad, but a little risky.

As info, he's the guy who stepped in to replace Stephanie Studebaker after she took her name off the ballot.

He seems to be getting off to a running start! Hope he wins!

[TroglodyteScholar]

29. If Wright Patt is anything like Robins AFB in central GA...

...it's a very conservative place. I hope I'm wrong about that, though.

But I will add...I know a 60-something woman who works at Robins AFB, and she told me straight up that she was a lifelong Republican but was absolutely disgusted with Bush for behaving like a tyrant. This was about 3 days after I met her...so we weren't close or anything. I was floored. That was when I started thinking there might be hope.

[Greeby]

27. It's a modified version of a flash Ava made

Against Sore Loserman

I think, I'm not sure. I do know I've seen this before in the form of an anti-Lieberworm ad

[seabeyond]

28. i think he should have been a little deeper,more forceful in voice.

his voice was to lite and almost upbeat. only bummer for me in the ad. wish i didnt hear that. is a kick ass ad
