It may be too late for this, but if you know someone with a camera and some contacts, here’s an ad for Democratic candidates nationwide I’d like to see.
(Open: Pictures of World Trade Center, burning, then fallen. Pentagon. Field of Flight 93.)
Announcer: On September 11, 2001, terrorists attacked America at
its heart. Their aim was to make Americans afraid. The
man behind those attacks remains at large, yet George W. Bush continues
to use his image in his advertising, to keep us afraid.
But Americans are not a fearful people. Here is how Democrats will win the war on terror.
(Pictures of a succession of people, some ordinary citizens, some
Democratic candidates, all behind local, American backgrounds. Don’t forget to include some New Yorkers. And some soldiers. They
all say the same thing.)
Line: I am not afraid.
(We can have some ad-libbing. I am no longer afraid, or I refuse to be afraid, I can’t be made afraid, etc. etc.)
Close on DNC chair Howard Dean. (Partly because it’s the law.)
We have nothing to fear but fear itself. My name is chairman Howard Dean, and I approve this
message.
For once we agree 100%. 30 second commercial. End with Howard Dean screaming. Stick a “TVMA-S” on the commercial too. Wonder why Republicans poll 75% of women 25-50 the next day.

But if you’re not afraid, you support the President! It’s the shrieking Bush-hatin’ moonbats who beat their breasts and insist that somehow “we’re less safe”. The rest of us realize that in fact we are safer today, thanks in no small part to the President’s vision and tenacity. It would utterly counterproductive, from a political perspective, for the President to try to “keep us afraid”.
Anyway, Mr. Hutchings has a point. End your spot with a closeup of Howard Dean’s flaring nostrils, beet-red cheeks, bulging jugulars — all snarl and spittle, railing about how much he hates Republicans and “fundamentalist preachers”. Yeah, that’ll be very effective.

Excuse me while I laugh. The clueless fool is keeping us safe? Only a true believer with broken critical thinking could really believe that.
Even his own intelligence agencies tell him that we’re increasing terror in the world by our foreign policy.
George Bush is the best friend Osama bin Laden ever had. He’d be an annoying nobody if Bush hadn’t made an icon out of him. Bush gave up trying to find him, but isn’t against using him to scare the pants off voters.
I love Bush’s latest commercial. They left off the part about the world’s last superpower not being able to find this 6′ 4″ Arab on kidney dialysis, supposedly hiding in the country of one of our major supporters for the last 5 years. They also left off the video clip of Bush saying he really doesn’t think about bin Laden that much anymore. Bush also never fully explained why he let him get away at Tora Bora.
I think the answer is obvious to those of us still with critical thinking in place. He needs Osama, otherwise he has nothing to scare us with.
Fortunately, Bush’s base, the 34% willing to believe any lie spoken, is beginning to erode also. Karl Rove is getting too arrogant. He was caught referring to Bush’s Conservative Christian supporters as “the nuts”.
It’s going to be very satisfying to see the rout on November 7. I doubt that Rove and the gang at Diebold can rig an election where the spread is likely to be too wide.
I’m an independent voter, not a Democrat. I’m voting Democratic on November 7 as a vote against the Republicans, not as one for the Democrats.
The Democrats are a spineless, wishy-washy group of sycophants, deathly afraid of saying anything that might cost them one vote. Like all scumbag politicians, they won’t tell you what they think, just what you want to hear. Their only saving grace at the moment is that they’re not Republicans.
It’s time all Americans take back their country from the very powerful special interests that don’t give a damn about Joe Citizen. Vote Democratic on Nov. 7 and then vote out every incumbent in every election after that. By the time the lobbyists get to owning a Congresscritter, it will be time for him/her to be booted out.
