19. Thanks for the link, babylonsister. Even airing on MSNBC and CNN doesn't change that the actual BUY
is predicted to be very small.

This is standard operating procedure for the DNC. They are always shooting with blanks.

George Herbert Walker Bush had so little interest in "vision" that he called it "the vision thing" as if it were some afterthought he'd throw in. I'll have campaign donations, a treasurer, ad agency and, oh yeah --- a little of the vision thing.

The DNC could be described as having a little of "the fight thing." Fighting is an afterthought to them, a little something they throw in before they get back to the main event, cozying up to the corporations etc. For the DNC fighting is a little pinch of condiment they put on their hypoglycemic main event of starchy potatoes. Nothing more. They are really wimps.

And as for the ad's impact, MoveOn.org for years had ads that were "nice" and finally some over there decided they needed more in-your-face ads and formed an offshoot of MoveOn that officially had "in your face" ads that were a lot more effective. The group is Truthandhope.org.

Here's an example of their ads which illustrates what I'm talking about. This is an IN-YOUR-FACE ad that MAKES you face the truth WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT:

THAT'S an effective ad. THAT'S an ad that denies you a respite from a guilty conscience. THAT'S an ad that FORCES you to think and feel WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.


Unfortunately they had access to very little money, unlike the DNC.

Why can't the DNC make ads like that?

Because they are DLC wimps.


Here is the famous 1964 "Daisy" ad President Johnson used against Barry Goldwater, who had said we should use nuclear weapons in Vietnam. ---

This is how Democrats USED to fight. Not anymore. Now the party is run by compulsive wimps.
