I think new GOP ad attacking Fiengold helps us way more than it

[BR_Parkway]

hurts.

I'm getting ready to write Ms Mehlman a thank you note.

1. It looks like the 1984 Macintosh ad.

And you're right, it makes Bush look like a dictator and the Dems look sensible.

"You're either with us or against us" doesn't work anymore...at this point, it's making people opt for "against us" since "us" means the Republican agenda.

[longship]

2. 9/11!!! 9/11!!! 9/11!!! 9/11!!!

That's gonna be the GOP mantra for 2006. All 9/11, all the time.

It's the only thing they have. What we should remind *everybody* is that 9/11 happened on their watch. There were clear warnings and the Repugs totally ignored them.

[BR_Parkway]

22. With plenty of "the homos are coming, the homos are coming"

thrown in to juice up the base.

[longship]

23. That, too.

And don't forget flag burning.

[NewJeffCT]

25. And - The Mexicans are coming!

Howard Dean was right on that one - demonizing immigrants.

[BR_Parkway]

26. Ok - Mexican homos burning flags marching on 9/11 - there you go

that's all they need for the stock footage campaign commercial.

[Dawgs]

3. Agree...

Someone needs to tell these people that the only one's that buy 'Bush is protecting us' already believe this crap.

4. These were great quotes!

"The President broke the law of the United States of America." -Russ Feingold

"The President of the US has been breaking the law." -Al Gore



They don't refute them, either. They simply justify it by claiming the 9/11 card.

[madokie]

9. To me the scary part is the fact that bush* is so open with breaking

the law, to him I guess there is no law except the law of the W

[KyuzoGator]

10. Delete, wrong spot.

[madokie]

12. exactly what they are saying about the fisa court law

if you don't like it just tell us what we need to change and we will. wtf

[progdonkey]

17. right on...

Quote after quote from Democrats simply stating that Bush broke the law, which even the Bushies don't deny (they just respond that the law is inadequate and outdated so they had to go around it), and all they can counter that with is "The President is keeping you safe from the very bad people!!!! Boogidy Boogidy!"

You have to think they spent a lot of time and money on this ad. If this was their best defense of Bush, this is going to be a fun election year in Congress. ;-)

[mandomom]

5. 9/11 is why America needs democrats in charge.

Keep us safe and preserve our bill of rights at the same time. Walk, chew gum etc

[me b zola]

16. Yes

If we give up our civil liberties, then the terrorists have won.

[KyuzoGator]

6. The message conveyed is, "It's okay to break the law if we're at war."

I somehow doubt that tests very well with the American public.

[rodeodance]

7. that was the message at the Censure hearing also

[KyuzoGator]

11. And the answer is, "If you think the law is inadequate, then change it."

You don't get to select which laws you are in the mood to obey.

[wordpix2]

8. I agree, with those war scenes, Ms. Mehlman has done Dems a favor

[countingbluecars]

13. The ad makes me think-

Gore/Feingold 2008.

[CrispyQ]

24. ...

I'd proudly vote for that team!

:thumbsup:

:dem:

[Inland]

14. I agree: it publicizes the message

and putting right next to the typical republican deflection/nonsequitur can only impress someone who is soaking in kool aide. Everyone else is going to think that if this is the best the repugs can do, Bush is more than guilty.

[Nutmegger]

15. Ms Mehlman??? I thought the guy wasn't married?

:shrug:

[progdonkey]

19. um, exactly...

He's in his late 30s, unmarried, refuses to say on the record whether he's straight.... Get it? :evilgrin:

[Nutmegger]

20. LOL, I'm up to speed now!

Thanks.

[progdonkey]

21. no problem

:hi:

[cascadiance]

18. Woops, left off the swastika at the end. Must have not had enough time!

All this appeals to is those that are governed by fear, NOT a sense of democracy! This is the brown shirts all over again!

[kentuck]

27. Oooo-ooo! I like that one!

:)
