Please Please Please run the My Pet Goat ads!
There's only two weeks left. It takes time for this to percolate through the media, and it's not a discussion Bush wants to see on Fox or anywhere else.

Obviously Kerry can't be anywhere near this ad. Only the DNC or the 527s could run it. But there's not a sign it's being contemplated.

I don't know what else to do, who else to talk to about this. I've written to Michael Moore himself about it. No answer.

Am I alone here in thinking running an ad showing Bush frozen up after hearing of plane #2's crash would absolutely clinch it for Kerry?

1. Pretty much, yeah....

It would link Kerry 100% to Michael Moore who is considered pretty radical by mainstream voters. Not much danger of it happening though. Kerry is playing to win, not score points. It would just look rude and arrogant.

2. Not if Kerry isn't paying for the ad
Also, that film's existence long predated Moore's using it in his film. I disagree that Bush's freeze-up is only going to be seen as associated with Michael Moore.

Think about it. A mere minority of Americans even knows of the freeze-up. So they're not going to even KNOW it was in Moore's movie to begin with.

4. I'm shocked at how many people DON'T KNOW about it!
I mentioned the Pet Goat to a friend, and she said "what are you talking about?" When I told her, her jaw was on the floor. I said, that's how * fights the war on terror!

5. I agree, Bush on Terrorism? what a joke!
The "my pet goat" sitting doing nothing

the lying on Iraq

the increase in terrorists in iraq
the lost of Osma bin Laden
the complete lack of domestic border security
the Conde Rice quote in front of the 9/11 commission on the title,
clips of Richard Clarke (American hero)

a strong ad showing just how weak bush is on terrorism, asap...

plus they should scream bloody murder at most of Cable news...

ever since last debate, so biased. Oberman one of the few ok ones.
