POLITICAL AD: Scene 1: A hand holding gobs of money

[Walt Starr]

<voiceover>: This is YOUR money!
<action>: Hand throws money into a toilet.
<voiceover>: And this is what George W. Bush is doing with YOUR money.
<action>: Hand flushes toilet.
<voiceover>: Any questions?

15 second spot, does enormous damage.

1. Thread Hijack Warning: What's the latest on your Bush medals story?

Did any of the big papers pick up your ball and start running with it?

(I was on vacation last week- couldn't get on DU follow the latest developments.)

2. Not yet

But we'll see what happens. I think Kitty Kelley's book is juicier.

3. VERY powerful ad, Walt.

If only it were aired....

It would be very, very effective.

[Walt Starr]

4. Thanks, I sent it to the DNC

but I'm hoping to keep this kicked up to the top for a while in hopes of somebody from Kerry's cmpaign or Moveon or anybody else picking up on it.

[terrya]

6. Oh, I think Moveon would be very interested in doing your ad.

Moveon is superb when it comes to brilliant, hard hitting ads. I can see them doing your ad. No question about it.

Now, if anyone from Moveon sees this, please pick up on this brilliant ad.

[Walt Starr]

13. That's good to know

I hope they see this.

5. How about ending it with some Halliburton workers outside

tapped into the sewer line.

[Walt Starr]

7. LOL, GREAT IDEA!!!

That rocks!

8. Good one, Walt. Heres one I've been working on...

<scene> Father sitting at his desk paying bills with a young son and daughter visible playing in the background.

<Bob:> "Honey, this bill says I owe $2,500 for me, $2,500 for you, $2,500 for David, and $2,500 for Sally. When did we spend this money??"

<action> wife picking up envelope and checking the return address

<Betty:>" Bob, this isn't from Visa, this is from the Republican Party. This is our portion of the deficit that George Bush has spent us into since he got into office"

<Bob> "I thought the government was running a surplus when Bill Clinton left office. You mean we have to pay this bill on top of all our others?"

<Betty:> "If we don't, our children will have to pay it."

<Bob:> "Wow, we've got to get him out of office!"

(This is a cleaned up version of course. In my original it was most vulgar!)

[Walt Starr]

9. Yours is good, too!

A bit more to the point than mine, but mine was designed with the least common denominator in mind.

[GOPFighter]

10. In that case...

...I'd say you nailed it!

[Walt Starr]

11. If you're going after rats, you have to sink to the sewers

and what a better imagery for these sewer rats than them flushing tax payer money down a toilet?

[Morning Dew]

17. any way to work with the debt numbers instead?

they're much heftier.

$ 7,373,938,168,782.31 as of 9/6/4:

The estimated population of the United States is 294,083,814
so each citizen's share of this debt is $25,063.53.

[Walt Starr]

12. Shameless kick

:kick:

[Walt Starr]

14. I'm kicking this one again

You could have a second ad with the same hand dropping toy soldiers into the toilet, too.

That's what these evil bastards are doing with honest soldier's lives, anyway.

15. Pretty funny Walt

all you need is a "Paid for by Americans who pay taxes" ID tag.

16. This deserves another kick.
