2004 campaign - here we go with the Ads

[Bill in SD, CA]

The Dems are at it again. Commercial to start running on Monday. Can't wait for a "simulated" Iraqi to be dragged behind a pickup truck.

Bush didn't figure his "little" deception would snowball.

[Blueliner]

the dems invented the internet, you know. and freed the slaves. and secured peace in our time. and did not inhale or have relations with THAT woman. what crazy lies will they come up with this time? haha

[Target]

Blue, it will probably be something completely off the wall and way out of left field......

Something like G.W. not really having good enough grades to get into an Ivy League school, or abusing alcohol and drugs, or he and his administration being tied to Enron. Who knows what sort of thing they'll come up with.

you know, most likely we will have a repeat of the recent past; we'll get a dem administration who will bloat the economy as a quick fix, pay not attention to terrorists preparing attacks, and then in 4 years we'll get a repub admin, and all the mess left over from the dems will come crashing down. of course the dems won't accept the blame, as usual

[shahani]

....and the beat goes on......

"the only thing we have to offer is hysteria and hate"

-Democratic party slogan

[Blueliner]

no no no, the dems don't hate anybody, well except for christians. They LOVE everybody. Especially the minorities. Cause if you add up all the minority groups in America, that's a lot. All the racial groups, religious groups, "alternative lifestyle" groups, treehugger groups, hippies, and the french. Hehe, no I just had to throw that one in there while I was on a role.

Anyway, back on topic, I remember this one protest the dems made about a repub ad, when the graphic for the word "democrat" came on the screen, for a split second it flashed the end of the word. They all clamed the repubs were calling them "rats" and tried to have the ad pulled. It was pretty funny stuff!

[sbp]

Yeah I remember when the Demorats whined about that.

[Mike]

Still appreciate the French I see?

The difference is the Democrats are really into being non-judgemental. They are also really into "groups" and "group identity".

Non-judgemental:
"He won life's lottery" (rather than give credit for hard work, it was left up to chance)
"He is a victim" (of what, is never answered, but it is not his fault!)
"He is homeless!" (Is it a result of bad choices or chemical dependancy, of is he just unlucky?)

Group:
They are also willing to say such things as:
We are being screwed by the "rich"
We need to take care of our "brothers"
We need to cry for the "children"
They respond to the "group".

The Republicans, on the other hand are into individuals and issues of individuals. "I earned that paycheck, and I want to spend it myself, I don't want to send it to: "insert group name here".

They also are judgemental. They are willing to say such things as:

No, I don't believe in gay marriage and I don't care what you think.
No, I don't believe that people should receive money and not work and I don't care what you think.
Yes, I like tax cuts and I don't care what you think.
Yes, I believe the government wastes lots of money and I don't care what you think.
Yes, I believe that some foreigners want to exterminate us and I don't care what you think.

This is the difference as I see it.


By the time the choices get to most of us, it is a done deal. Who do you vote for, Frick or Frack?

[DPA]

ill just need to make myself a bumber sticker that says

"vote for anything but Gore... yes even Leiberman"

[Mike]

Good thing you're making yourself that bumber sticker.
Right now I am not sure who I am going to vote for. I'll just have to wait and listen to whichever guy gets on the podium is lies better.
