1. lame.

I mean, nice try, good effort, but... lame.

[smartvoter]

2. Embarrassingly so. nt

12. Well, now wait a minute. Consider that ANY ad like this that is critical

or suggestive in tone will be slammed as poor form and as raining on Dubya's parade. Granted Boosh deserves much worse, but I'm surprised the feckless leadership came up with this much.
...You know, at first I didn't think I agreed with you, but I think I just made your point.




DNC Releases New TV Ad on Eve of Inauguration: "Ready"

Washington, DC – The Democratic National Committee (DNC) today released a new 30-second television ad titled "Ready." "Ready" will air on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News Channel to coincide with President George W. Bush's upcoming inauguration.

AUDIO SCRIPT

DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe:
Mr. President, congratulations. Democrats are eager to work with you.

But make no mistake - we will not abandon our long held principles.

On Social Security, we will not let you undermine its fundamental guarantee.

On taxes, we'll fight your efforts to shift the burden to working families.

And we'll demand an honest foreign policy.

So as you swear to uphold the Constitution, we will be standing with you – making sure you keep that promise for all Americans.

Voice over:
The DNC is responsible for the content of this advertisement.

3. At least they are doing something. Better to do something then

nothing at all.

[smartvoter]

5. Agreed. nt

[Us vs Them]

7. True, true!

However, I'm an advertising student. Emphasis on the student part. They could have gotten some more effective pro-bono work from some of the C level students in my classes, honestly.

9. Agreed.

[IndyPriest]

4. Well!! An ad. WIth a decent message. Well-timed.

What the hell's got into these people?? And they bought time on Faux. Are they trying to start an argument or something?? Maybe make a point??

[Lisabtrucking]

6. maybe working on an impeachment? Hopeful thinking. n/t

[dalloway]

21. me thinks they are building a true, strong OPPOSITION Party brick by brick

[Nite Owl]

8. Softball stuff

but at least they are thinking in the right direction by doing an ad at all.

[tandem5]

10. what a bunch of... nt

[demodonkey]

11. I'm a Dem (for now at least) and I am NOT ready to "work with" **. eom

[seabeyond]

13. cool, without looking too hard already seeing the bitching

i think that is just excellent. unprecedent. never been done before. democrats fighting for the people, even without any election. i say nifty.

this is what i saw with the 6th, today and kerrys trip to iraq. democrats arent lying down

that is great. i think it is great, and all the naysayers cant make me change my mind, lol

good

[Goldeneye]

14. I think its good.

Lots better than shifting our views on abortion, gun control or gay rights. Lets take what we can get and keep the pressure on.

[jsascj]

15. Too bad they won't be demanding

Honest elections...then they might actually get somewhere, otherwise...

We are so screwed!

[CoffeeCat]

16. I think it was a gutsy move....

I applaud the Dems for doing this ad.

They knew we would be drowning in Bush coronation, and they extended a hand to remind us that they would fight.

I've been waiting for the Dems to come out fighting for a long time.

This is a good sign.

They could have done and said nothing. They chose to take a stand...and on Fox News nonetheless.

I expect to see rabid follow through from all of them. However, this is an excellent start.

17. Waste of Money!!!!

.....Enabling Fox profits is Not a recipe for future success....Send the money back to the locals to accomplish much more.....

[mod mom]

18. Do people still watch tv?

[bush_is_wacko]

19. Oh come on people. When was the last time you can remember a

party commercial running the day before and the day of the OTHER GUY'S inauguration? I think this is pretty damn big!

[icehenge]

20. Well sad

And I'm happy to see the Ad will run.
I didn't expect anything so I think its a good thing.
