1. Rec'd! Great ad-I hope the whole country gets to see it. They need to. nt

[FiveGoodMen]

17. My sentiments, exactly.

[Hope And Change]

2. Kick!

[phrigndumass]

3. Off to the greatest with you ... great ad!

:hi:

[offog]

24. I agree; great ad!

Another way to talk up healthcare is to ask this rhetorical question. Why do the Washington politicians always have hundreds of billions of dollars for wars and corporate bail-outs, but then say American can't afford universal healthcare?

[pauldg0]

27. Great point, but also add this consideration.............

.....If we end up bailing out those fuck-ups, then we may not ever see insurance for ALL Americans.

[loyalkydem]

4. I hope those

damn undecided and stupid republicans who won't vote Obama take another look now

[gblady]

5. really good ad...

keep em coming, Barack!

[BigD_95]

6. how could anyone

vote for McCain? Unless you rich. I just dont understand people

[Wetzelbill]

7. You need to make people mistrust McCain

Flat out. When they go to the polls they simply need to not trust the guy at all. "A Risk We Can't Afford..." That's exactly how you do it. I think he needs to hit him with a "Daisy Girl" type of ad each on foreign policy and economics. Make people fear the thought of a McCain presidency. I know I sure the hell do.

8. K & R! Fantastic ad! n/t

[Robbie88]

9. Great ad

N/T

10. Vote on PBS

Not sure how to spread this around DU bu...

just voted – it literally takes 15 seconds and you don’t have to give any of your info, not even and email or name – please do it now!
Sounds silly, but people love to follow the band wagon, and the more we can do to stop the band wagon heading McCain/Palin, the better....


The GOP is urging people to vote in a PBS to show that Sarah Palin is qualified to be a heart beat away from the Oval Office. When I last checked - - - the ayes were leading!!!

You can help to turn this around!!!


The poll asks: Is Sarah Palin qualified to be VP? Yes or No. You do not have to give your name or email to vote. It's very simple.


Here's the link: http://www.pbs.org/now/polls/poll-435.html

11. start a thread in gd:p with the subject of "DU this poll"

then put the details and the link in the body of the message.

[navarth]

34. that poll is now 50 - 48 in favor of Palin

apparently the reptiles are pounding away at it

[ihavenobias]

12. I K & R'd before I watched the vid, but I'm glad I did!

[progressoid]

13. "REPUBLICANS - a risk we just can't afford to take"

[rocktivity]

14. And like that other commercial ("McCain--the sleaziest campaign ever"0

the beauty of is that Obama doesn't even HAVE to make the actual accusations--EVERYONE ELSE IS!!!

:bounce:

15. KandR. Beautiful! n/t

peace~

[Arugula Latte]

16. Perfect!

:thumbsup:

[alcibiades_mystery]

18. Notice the shift from "We can't afford more of the same"

To "A risk we just can't afford to take."

I likes it.

[calmblueocean]

23. I do, too. It's perfect!

It's a subtle dig at Palin, too.

[Auggie]

32. Noticed it right away. I like it, but I wish a stronger word than "risk" was used.

Risk implies the chance of danger or loss. What Gramps proposes is downright reckless.

[sinkingfeeling]

19. Here's a link to the actual magazine articles. One from McCain and one from Obama.

20. Loved It!

Ads like these hit people where they live. McCain's Health Insurance plan is a joke. I have to add that I wish Obama's was better than it is, but I suppose it's a start.

Single payer, quite affordable for all, and universal is the only way to go - how much money one has should not determine whether one lives or dies or what quality of life one is able to lead.

[Constance Craving]

21. Well done.

Great job and well stated. I think it is so important that Obama keeps coming back to McCain's own words and the more linkage to McCain and * is a great thing!

[LaStrega]

22. This needs to go viral ... M'kay? k+r n/t

[WindRiverMan]

25. Scathing, sad that it is actually true

shows people just how screwed up McCain really is.

[RBInMaine]

26. NOW THEY'RE FINALLY FUCKING LEARNING !! GOOD!! SLAM THE ASSHOLE, HARD !!

[sunnybrook]

28. I really like the announcer

He is professional, stating the facts, but not dripping with barely concealed hatred, the way the announcers in their ads sound. Makes the message all the more effective!

[Quixote1818]

29. H is for HOME RUN! A+++++++++!!!!!

[trthnd4jstc]

30. John McCain, a Risk We Just Can't Afford To Take. n/t

[OakCliffDem]

31. What a surprise, John McCain wants to deregulate life essential baseness

[hasssan1]

33. This is a very good ad and very very SCARY if Mcsame gets elected

[navarth]

35. Barack, if you're listening...

POUND THIS AD INTO THEIR LITTLE HEADS
