Conservative Campaign Ad Features Reagan


By LIZ SIDOTI, Associated Press Writer

........snip
The Club for Growth's ad, which is to begin airing Wednesday, portrays both Republican presidents as leaders — Reagan on communism and Bush on terrorism, while claiming Kerry was "wrong then, wrong now" on national security.


The ad shows Kerry, a Vietnam veteran, testifying to Congress in 1971 that "we cannot fight communism all over the world and I think we should have learned that lesson by now."


Former President Reagan is then seen at the Berlin Wall in 1987, saying "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall." That's followed by Bush telling rescue workers at the World Trade Center after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks: "I can hear you, the rest of the world hears you, and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon."

1. Yes! Fellating the Reagan corpse!

All going as expected.

Don't they realize they're just doing themselves in?

Just like Poppy in '92. He hung himself with his own rope too.

2. Didn't even take a week, did it?

Rigor barely set in, and the Repugs are already using Reagan. This shouldn't surprise me, but strangely enough, it does. I thought they'd wait at least a week.

3. BACKLASH COMING.

The more the conservatives try to hold up Reagan, the worse * looks.

These commercials are only going to energize an already-energized GOP base, but for independents and undecideds, it's only going to remind them that Dubya is no Ronald Reagan.

5. don't forget the "Reagan Democrats" either. . .

They switched allegiances more than once, they can do so again. Something tells me they won't pull the lever for *, either.
