Holy Smokes. Did anyone see Kerry's ads responding to the RNC?

[blm]

Great slam of Bush and his HALLIBURTON cronies, too.

It's called "No, Mr. President."

1. Liked the first half

Didn't care for the "share the burden" line, reminds me of 'white man's burden' a little too much.

[blm]

4. Kerry says the only way to stop the war is to turn it into a UN action

where other countries, including Muslim countries share the burden and the reponsibilities of bringing about stability for Iraq. He wants the US occupation to cease by giving up that political and financial control that Bush is holding onto so tightly.

21. Anything to keep Kerry from his responsibility for a proIWR vote

I must admit he's really burning the midnight oil on this one. But when push comes to shove, the public will still be asking "Why, John?" on IWR and he'll still be peddling his mealy mouthed excuses and other derivative bullshit.

Business as usual.

[blm]

23. Only those devoid of comprehension skills.

And those who refuse to see it for the political advantage they think it gives them.

31. Sen. Kerry is qualified to serve as Commander-in-Chief.

He's been tested in combat and demonstrated leadership that always accomplished the mission. His heroic actions also protected the lives of those under his command.

OTOH, your candidate, Howard Dean, is a draft-dodger. Who'd want to follow orders from someone who did all he could to avoid combat? Not me and certainly not the men and women in uniform.

2. Wow, great ad!

My congratulations to the Kerry team, that is one hard-hitting response to the RNC!

[maddezmom]

3. good ad

They all need to get out on this quickly.

[blm]

18. Kerry put it together quickly. It's been running all day.

5. Great ad

Way easier to follow than Dean's.

Don't bash me. I'm a Deanie. Loved his ad, but it was hard to follow.

[hedda_foil]

10. The Dean one you're talking about wasn't the real ad.

It was a quickie internet thing thrown up on Friday night for the blog crowd. The real commercial is coming.

On edit ... and yes, the Kerry ad is terrific. They did a great job getting it out fast.

[maddezmom]

13. please post when it's up

would like to see the finished product. However the internet ad was pretty good. I think they all the dems should have something up against this ASAP.

[JohnKleeb]

6. My sound isnt working but it looks like a good one

[Clovis Sangrail]

7. MORE!!!!

GREAT AD!!!

[Andyjunction]

8. Excellent, but...

I was wondering why in all the candidates' ads they say, "I approved this message because..." That just sounds odd explaining why they approved the words coming out of their own mouths. Why don't they just leave that wierd little disclaimer out?

[eyesroll]

9. They have to say "I approved this message"

It's part of McCain-Feingold. It's designed so people will know what really came from the candidate, and what came from interest groups.

I agree, it sound awkward, but it's unavoidable now.

[blm]

24. Yes, it's the most awkward part.

But, I think that Kerry handles saying it really well. He makes it seem not so odd.

[Cocoa]

11. "no Mr. President" is a great message

it reminds people that saying no to him is still allowed, despite everything the republicans are saying.

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

12. "We shouldn't be closing firehouses here so we can build them in Iraq"

good one Kerry

[Skwmom]

14. Very good ad.

Kerry is not my first choice but I can honestly say that he would be a respected leader for our country.

[mb7588a]

15. Kerry ceases to amaze me

with his straight talking "real deal" approach. He's done it all his life. Hero all the way.

[blm]

17. heh...I guess you mean "never ceases"

and on that, I agree.

[1songbird]

16. Great Ad.

[sandnsea]

19. Terrific Ad

Sounds like they've got this campaign kicked into high gear. About time!

[blm]

20. There have been lots of great ads.

You don't hear about them on network news shows. Kerry is a dirty word to BushInc.

[oasis]

22. If you prefer a candidate with a sensible approach to leadership then

Kerry's the man. :thumbsup:

[pasadenaboy]

25. can't support anyone that voted for the Iraq resolution.

Sorry.

[oasis]

27. You may be left with no other practical choice.4 more years of Bush

guarantees an expansion of the war and a draft.

[blm]

28. even if they did prevent the further invasion of Iran and Syria

and preserved the UN in the process. Damn them for paying for those concessions with their votes. pasadenaboy, would you prefer that NO Dem had negotiated and that Bush be bombing Iran and Syria, too?

[Fleshdancer]

26. Impressive

That was a great ad...and I normally can't stand political ads (why do most of them look exactly alike? Is there only one advertising agency in DC?)

I wish Dean's new ad sounded as critical against bush as Kerry's ad. I do like knowing that there are various bush bashing ads out this early though. Is MoveOn running ads in Iowa? Does anyone know if Clark, Lieberman, and Edwards will be making a response ad to bush?

[GOPBasher]

29. I like it.

I especially love how Dean and Kerry are both going after Bush, not each other, at least for the moment. They should both keep doing that.

[JI7]

30. good message

didn't see the actual ad, but the message was very good.
