1. Too bad there are no television stations that will air that ad

Great ad, great points.

It's a shame that the Republicans own the mass media.

Pravda, anyone?

3. Hmmm.

And yet I recall Kerry getting his ads on tv last election cycle - why do you suppose that is?

"Hmmm, this ad makes Kerry look like a loser - I guess we'll run it, but that other one where he slams into Bush, we can't run that one. Sorry."

5. If EVERY democrat just said "republicans are WRONG for America"

and KEEPS saying it, the "message" gets out..

Our ideas have meat on the bones, and take some attention span, so instead of being interrupted, mid-message, they at least need to say this phrase FIRST, and then explain their ideas..

Democrats are bringing stilettos to gunfights..We need to fight them on their level, no matter how distasteful it is.. If we do not get into office, we can do NOTHING.

7. I'm with you

But I'm getting so damned cynical now that I feel like the Republicans own the media, all three branches of the government and the election system.

It is so unbelievably hard for our voices to be heard above the incredible din of the Republican spin machine.

2. I like it.

Everything you stated plus the fact that the medical system in this country continues to worsen.

Not only are they wrong for America, they are BAD for America!

[Jane Austin]

4. Republicans are DANGEROUS for America.

That's the way I like to frame it in my conversations.

[SoCalDem]

6. I agree, BUT

dangerous will be played back as .."There go those angry democrats again".

[Jane Austin]

10. I don't think my conversations are going to be played back by anyone.

Besides,

1) I don't think characterizing republicans as Dangerous sounds angry, and

2) Their meme is that Dems are angry anyway. We've got nothing to lose in sounding a little tougher.

[MissMarple]

8. Republicans are WRONG for America, it's time to put Americans first.

[K-W]

9. You have to show that Democrats are right for America,

or this message will do little but drive people away from voting entirely.

It cant just be about how bad Republicans are.

[mmonk]

11. That's the right message.

Beats the crap out of "we can do better". Hell, my dog could do better. The message HAS to be ABOUT THEM, because everytime I hear them speak on political issues, they make it about us.
