In ad after ad, Republicans have used the "fear" card and images of 9/11 |
|
Here's how we fight back with our own ad:
9/15/2008
Show news reports of Lehman Bros collapse, of AIG bailouts, of banks seizing up, of GDP and the markets going through the floor, of jobless claims rising. Put it to ominous music. Then, at the end of the commercial the words:
"Never Again"
9/15 was as damaging long-term to this country as 9/11, though the visuals from 9/11 were more horrific.

however, the way to prevent that is by best actions, not downward spirals, I agree with trying to stop such things, but people will not listen, and keep hurting many people.
And on a personal note, I don't have beer.

2. Sorry - how Dems fight back is to merely point |
|
out that 9/11 happened under a ReTHUG President and a Republican Congress. RUB IT IN! Bush was on vacation for the entire month of August 2001.
NEVER forget 9/11 happened under RETHUGS.

There is a pattern emerging. Lets bring back the GOP and start celebrating the end of the world.

6. along with the reminder that there was a surplus (cue clip of Bush saying |
|
that the surplus is why we need to pass his tax cuts) until the Republicans had control of everything, which then turned into record deficits (cue clip of Bush saying that the deficits/recession is why we need to pass his tax cuts) all thanks to massive efforts to deregulate everything ...

3. I'm not sure if they are deliberately playing the fear card or... |
|
if they are genuinely fearful people just reacting in the way their basic nature compels them to.
