idea for a tv ad

[radfringe]

The snippet below got me to thinking about an ad...

--snippet---
During a brief question-and-answer session at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, Bush also criticized Kerry, saying twice that the people of the Tar Heel State know that "the senator from Massachusetts doesn't share their values."

-----------

There was a clip in F-9/11, (also was in the trailer) -- where bush* talks about the "have's and the have mores..." "..some call you the elite, I call you my base..."

here's my idea -- show the clip/or clips of bush talking about being a 'regular person' and/or talking about "values"

follow it by the "Have's-Have mores" clip

then a voice-over saying "regular guy? values? How stupid do you think we are?"

end commercial with an still shot of bush in his tux, and an echo type repeat of ..some call you the elite, I call you my base..."

1. I like it.

I think it's very important to rid Bush of his "average guy" image.

2. I'll have to look it up again,

but I found on DU a short time back, a sorta refution of that "haves and have mores" item. Not exactly a refutation, but placing it in a different venue and possibly a different context. Michael Moore MIGHT have been sloppy in researching that item.

Here's what I'd have really LIKED to have seen in that movie, although the production chronology might not have allowed it: http://www.musicforamerica.org/misc/media_files/bushjoke.mov (Maybe it'll be part of the bonus material on the DVD.

The "God, Guns, and Guts" crowd is as much the "natural constituency" of Bush, as the befuddled "get rich quick!" investors were of Charles Ponzi. Judging by how that film is playing in the heartland, many of them are starting to wake up and ask questions.

3. I'll post my commercial idea here too then!

"John Edwards had six years of experience in the senate. bush had the same amount of time as governor of Texas. Bush also ran oil companies into the ground. Edwards was helping the little people as a lawyer. Now, who has more experience?" Then, John Kerry chimes in "I'm John Kerry and I approve this message!"
