WATCH THIS - I turned almost 40 republicans back from the dark side with it.
Edited on Tue Aug-12-08 04:33 PM by deadlyaj
Watch this, then rewind it, watch it again... Then. Send it to your friends and the McCain supporters you know.

Images can speak volumes, I help run a political club at our church here in Texas with a another fella who is a pure 100% republican - after showing the club this 5 min movie, they all are registering as democrats! Almost 40 people who voted for Bush now voting for Obama!

This video will bring you tears and make you sick but everyone who loves America MUST see it.

54. The low figure is for direct miltary action
The higher figure is "excess deaths" and counts all the people who die of curable diseases because their medical system and other infrastructure has been destroyed.

7. Its a great video, but I find the support of recent converts tenuous
It is promising to hear stories of those Repbulicans who have a change of heart and now back Barack. But personally I would not count 100% on their vote especially if a single, albeit powerful, video is enough to sway their attitudes.

I'm more encouraged by those who find the choices on their "side" unnacceptable and by their own accord, decide to learn more about Obama. Then, if they want to stay with Obama after learning all the facts, then THAT is a vote we can count on.

Use the video to plant the seeds of doubt. Then let them come to Obama slowly, but decisively.

41. For most of our lives
our country has been at war. Something is really wrong. Eisenhower warned us in his farewell address to the nation. The Bush/McCane cartel has put the military industrial complex on steroids. Our resources that could be used for humanitarian and civil ends are used for death, destruction and world domination. Unless we change the way we do business in the world, the world will turn on us in the same way it has throughout history against those who try to impose their will at gunpoint.

48. It's the truth, people have got to hear it.
I, as an economist, will continue to put my angle on the persuasion process, pointing out what the Grover Norquists of the world want to do with America, and that they are using the GOP as a tool to restore 19th century style robber-baron capitalism in its most extreme form.

50. Anyone that isn't put on alert
by Pat Buchannon declaring the Republican nominee would make Dick Cheney look like Ghandi must play Russian Roulette like 18 hours a day and do powerful and mind numbing drugs in their off time.

Scarborough said McCain is running on less jobs and more wars.

McCain might be the most dangerous potential President we've seen. His organization is the worst disaster in history, so one has to assume shenanigans will not only continue but kick into high gear. He's a friggin right wing puppet on all policies, which means the no vasoline factor continues for about 95% of Americans. Then we get back to the point that the hotheaded prick is looking to deploy troops and drop bombs on as many fronts as he can locate.

Warmongering fascist I sez and I'm no extreme left winger nor am I a dove.

The very best way to make George Bush look like George Washington is to allow John McCain to disgrace the office, the nation, democracy, and humanity.

58. Wow, very powerful
Scott Ritter describes what McInsane will do.

"My concern is that we will use nuclear weapons to break the backbone of Iranian resistance and it may not work. But what it will do is this. It will unleash the nuclear genie. So for all those Americans out there tonight who say "You know what? Taking on Iran is a good thing."...

"If we use nuclear weapons the genie ain't going back in the bottle until an American city is taken out by an Islamic weapon in retaliation. So tell me, if you want to go to war with Iran, pick your city. Pick your city. Which one do you want gone? Seattle? LA? Boston? New York? Miami? Pick one. Cause at least one is going. And that's something we should all think about before we march down this path of insanity."

67. McShame calls to mind Shelby Foote's recounting of Stonewall Jackson's: kill 'um, kill 'um
all. McShame seems to not be able to get over his mistreatment as a prisoner and wants to lash out at all the perceived bad guys. But even a fool should be able to figure out that US spending on the military/national defense has greatly weakened our economy, our standard of living, the value of the dollar and is being financed only through borrowing from others on an unsustainable basis that can lead to economic collapse. How strong will this nation be if this folly continues leading to the treasury being unable or unwilling to service its massive debt to others? Get your wheelbarrow ready for carrying your dollars to the grocery store. :P

68. If you've changed 40 people to voting for Obama, you deserve the highest civilian
medal!!! As we all know, changing the 'minds' of Republicans - even getting them to truly listen, debate or think - is f-ing IMPOSSIBLE most of the time! I'd seen this video before, but it's great. I'd love to send it to my aunt and uncle, but it would probably sever the relationship, and I just don't want to do that (yet) :^). KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

(By the way, I'm another non-typical Texan, and thank God - no, wait, thank my DAD :^) - for that).

69. Awesome! Still proud to have gone to same HS as Ritter did! The Republicans speak meme is good.

Perhaps a part 2 that isn't focused on the Iraq war, but more on domestic policy with regard to civil liberties and breakdown of constitutional law could feature other Republicans like:

Russ Tice (Republican NSA whistleblower)
David Iglesias (fired Republican US Attorney)
John Dean (served in Nixon administration)
Bruce Funk (Republican Utah Emory County Clerk that lost his job exposing Diebold problems)
Paul Craig Roberts (served in Reagan administration concerned about Bush/Cheney "coup" attempt before leaving office)

75. I was able to turn my mom into a Obama supporter last night just by
telling her that McCain called his wife a "c*nt". I st sent her this video, and hopefully she'll pass it around to some of the fanatical Right Wingers in her church.

88. Was able to re-inforce my conservative father's McCain antipathy
By reminding him that McCain was 5th from the bottom of his class, and we've tried dumb already and it doesn't work.

He agreed.

(although when he closes the curtain in the voting booth, he may choose McCain as the candidate who will "save unborn babies" - maybe this will convince him that if McCain is elected, there may be no babies born or unborn to save in some cities....)

76. I posted this on a Repug infested forum.....
and the responses i got were amazing. They think that Iraq did have WMDs. Others feel it was just a waste of time to watch. There's no turning those guys around =/

79. There are always some that are beyond hope
Obama only got 73% of the vote when he ran for the Senate in Illinois. The other 27% voted for nutcase carpetbagger ALAN KEYES!

93. We know WHY they respond that way...
Because...

They are proud of being ignorant.











Thanks for the great line, Barack!

More people should use it!

80. Spectacular yet
highly disturbing video. It gets the point across very well. Anybody with two brain cells functioning will see that McSame is bad for this country.

89. Excellent video - "he's going to make Cheney look like Ghandi"
McCain is a war monger, no doubt about it.

Scott Ritter's piece is excellent "Pick your city".

:applause: for the video artist who put this together.

90. Congratulations on your sucess, aj! One question though, these 40 people, before seeing this clip...
did they never hear of bush joking about non-existent WMDs, did they never see pictures of war and caskets coming home, did they not know how many $$$ the war cost, did they never hear mccain talk about more wars and 100 years in Iraq before??

Was all this news to them??


PS : in the "bomb bomb bomb" scene, mccain shows how utterly stupid he is, true presidential material!

91. "He will make Cheney look like Ghandi." WOW.
VERY powerful.

A big part of its strength comes from the music, which is taken from the excellent movie 'Requiem for a dream' (go see it!).

Sometimes I think (and I know I'm far from being the only one) that whether you have Democrats or Republicans in the White House (or Congress), it doesn't make much of a difference, policy-wise. But this time, it does.

This video scared the living crap out of me.

92. If Scott Ritter's words don't frighten you...
...then I respectfully suggest stronger medication, as I told my father.
