I would like to see a TV ad showing..

[lostnfound]

a variety of normal-looking people calmly stating GOP values, like:

"If a dying man wants his boyfriend to make decisions or visit his deathbed, government needs to step in and stop it."

"We need national ID cards."

"I want your library records to be monitored by the government."

"Who needs lawyers? If you're a suspect, you need to be locked up."

"Torture is an American value. If you don't like it, leave."

"If some kids don't thrive because there's too much mercury in the air, others will do just fine. Don't liberals know what survival of the fittest means?"

What other GOP values would you like to highlight?

Maybe close with a shot of a Bush staged-townhall meeting, overlaid with the words "And if I want your opinion, I'll ask you for it."

[NMMNG]

1. "My religion is good enough for all of youse"

[bdot]

4. It's "y'all".

[ooglymoogly]

22. or yue'ns

[China_cat]

2. "And if I want your opinion, I'll give it to you"

[annabanana]

3. very good

That would be a powerful ad. Why couldn't the DNC do that?

[Mi2TechFilms]

5. I'm sure they could..

But I dont think they want to play the part of the cry babbies the repubs try to make us look like.

[Crankie Avalon]

9. "Us," huh?

By the way, how does this make anyone play the part of cry "babbies?"

[nonconformist]

12. "cry babies"?

You mean, don't speak out? Allow bullshit to happen without uttering a peep? Never oppose any legislation, just sit like ornamental seat fillers in the government?

Speaking out against what is wrong is the right thing to do - as human beings it is our moral obligation, and our Democratic elected officials are there to be OUR VOICE.

[Tesha]

16. Yes, it's far better to do nothing at all.

It's been such a succesful stratagery thus far, no?

Tesha

[OrlandoGator]

6. Damn, this would be a great ad. MoveOn, perhaps?

Nominated.

[nonconformist]

11. Great idea.

The original poster should contact MoveOn.org with this idea.

[Pacifist Patriot]

14. This could indeed make a very powerful series of ads.

Very inexpensive to produce too. I wonder if the creepiness would hit the radar screen. Sadly there are some people who would probably sit there and think, "Yeah, what he/she said!" *sigh*

[nonconformist]

7. "I don't care if our troops are dying, that's what they signed up for."

"The lives of white Americans are more valuable than any others."

"I think the news media should be used as a propaganda outlet for the government."

"If you are kept alive by machines and your doctor and spouse agree there is no hope, the government should step in to stop them."

"I think that people can live off of $5.15 an hour."

"People who live off of Social Security are just slackers looking for a handout."

"If you're not rich or lucky enough to have good medical insurance, you should suffer and die if you get sick."

"Old people should just eat dog food to save money for their prescriptions."

I could think of a million of these...

[OrlandoGator]

10. It should be an ongoing series of ads.

I think they would be very effective.

[babylonsister]

8. Stem cell research is an abomination!

If the people who would benefit from it would just put their trust in the Lord... :sarcasm:

[Pacifist Patriot]

13. I am pro-life unless the life....

committed a crime, can't afford decent medical care or lives in a country we decide to invade.

[Mizmoon]

15. "If you can't pay for medical treatment, you should just die." n/t

[lostnfound]

17. OMG, that's my favorite! nt

[mistertrickster]

18. Here's a few more--

"Abortion should be illegal--immoral women should be forced to raise the baby they made."

"Stop treating AIDS. The gays and drug addicts deserve what they get."

"We could stop gun crime if more people just had guns."

"To hell with my community, as long as I'm comfortable that's all that matters."

"Rich people have proven that they are better people. That's why the Republicans need to give them your money."

"Poor people just haven't chosen to climb the economic ladder. It's nobody's fault but their own."

"So what if Japan and Europe have longer life-spans and a higher standards of living. Why don't you move if you love them so much?"

[ooglymoogly]

[MadisonProgressive]

20. Include the video cut of O'LIELY

calling the abu graihb stuff - 'high school pranks'

Use hannity and O'reillys words to make them look like fascist fools.

[ooglymoogly]

21. maybe it should be an animated version of

wyeths man and woman w/ pitchfork speaking the above suggestions

[AmBlue]

23. "If a judge doesn't rule the way you think they should...

just threaten them. Senators do it, why can't we?"

[AmBlue]

24. "Only embryos deserve to be protected....

Children who are already born will be fine with polluted air and water, minimal education, and the big, fat deficit we are forcing on them."

[ComerPerro]

25. "I am pro-life right up until birth. After that

I really dont' give a shit what happens to the child. He could die of starvation, and I wouldn't care."
