Beautiful. Every time they open up their gobs, it's another lie. Count on it.

10. I would definitely say this is a politically-motivated FLIP FLOP
on the part of the GOP. What have the Dems been saying all along? Stay the course won't work. Now, after hundreds more of our troops have been killed, the Republicans are finally waking up to that fact.

America is in more danger with the Republicans running things. Just look at the war in Iraq and 9/11. They were in control. It's their responsibility.

The bottomless hypocrisy and flip-flopping need to be exposed over and over and over again. I especially love that anti-Bush ads are best when they showcase his own words, no false smearing necessary, just his own disingenuous, cynical, blundering, lying words.

One of the best ads I've seen in a long time. We should have been seeing this type of ad, which demonstrates their lying via video clips, years ago. Hopefully this will have some impact.

36. Good ad but weak ending.
I would have liked to see more of an emphasis on Bush's final comment about "I've never said stay the course"....I mean that's an obvious lie, and you've got proof in the video, isn't that the kind of thing the republicans would have a field day with if it were Kerry or Clinton??? I would play that clip at the beginning and end of the video, shorten it to 30 seconds.

After Bush's quote at the end, maybe a black screen with a bunch of ??????? then play his comment again with some sinister music and then put "LIAR" on the screen, maybe flashing. And then a simple slogan for the dems, which we desparately need anyway, like "let's turn this thing around" or "time to clean house" or "had enough?" or "how many times will you be lied to?" or "tired of the lies?" or "what's going on in washington?"

More could be made of this is what I'm saying.

how bout the music suddenly stops and screen goes black with just bush's voice saying "it's never been about staying the course". need to re-emphasize the bit lie at the end. maybe a fade in showing the picture of the flag draped caskets on the transport plane to show the true cost of the bastards lies..

37. If this is web only, then why are we so excited?
You cant point to websites and say "see- look at the DEMS fighting for a change"

It has to be on TV where EVERYONE, not just the choir will see it. DEMS have been "fighting" in front of the netroots & donors for years- I want to see them fight in front of swing-voters for a change.

Call me back when DEMS get the brains/courage to put this all over the television.

41. Excellent!
... But the Dems must also get out the message of what they/we are really about, because several news programs seem to indicate that a lot of (ignorant) people out there say they don't know what we stand for. We may kick ass in this election, and that will be wonderful if it happens, but in the next 2 years we need to give the public real reasons to vote for us, not just be an alternative to corrupt, hypocritical, overspending, war-mongering, too-friendly-to-big-business idiots.

53. Perhaps we need to explain to them what a television even is as well.
Edited on Wed Oct-25-06 02:46 PM by Dr Fate
And note that the average voter watches and average of 3 hours of television or "TV" everyday.

We also need to inform them that swingvoters often get their news from "broadcasts" that are shown through this new invention that some now call "TV."

They might be glad to know that many "programs" and "broadcasts" are funded by "ads" such as the one they have produced.

YES- we all need to call the DNC and make them aware of the fact that "advertisments" can be "broadcasted" on "television."

58. It's so they can assure the net-roots donor base: "See we are fighting!!!"
Edited on Wed Oct-25-06 03:11 PM by Dr Fate
They have been doing it for years.

How many times have you seen a DUer demand "Why are DEMS not fighting??"- and then the reposnse is "NO- we are fighting- check out this text on this obscure website..."

Or "Didnt you see those tough statements on CSPAN3 at 10:30 AM while you were at work??? Well here is the link..."

Web-only "fighting" is NOT fighting- it is pandering to the donor base/choir. Pointing to web-only text or web-only video is NOT an example of us fighting. It's an example of pandering to the choir.

I'll get excited when the DEM leadership is not too frightened to show this ad to EVERYONE- not just to netroots people who happen to stumble across it.

52. This was sooooooo good until -
somebody decided to use the word, "rhetoric!" You and I know what it means, but it fails to get the point across to the sound-byte masses, the ones who bought into "stay the course" in the first place.

We have got to, got to, got to learn what sells a message and what doesn't; what words and phrases weaken a message; and what words, phrases, and images deliver a knockout punch. Here we have an Ali punch of video, followed by a love-tap with the word, "rhetoric."

Back to Marketing 101.

55. Plus, it is not even on TV. No swingvoters will even see it.
It's obvious that the tough, blunt ads as well as the tough talking points are for DEM donors eyes only.

Now people can point to an obscure website and say "See- we really ARE fighting!!!"

Web-only "fighting" may be comforting for some, but it does not get a single swingvoter on our side.

54. Will This Get The Free Play The Osama Ad Did?
Any bets here? It's a great ad that says it all, shows it all. You come away with the slime of this regime.

Right now I'm watching a CNN "discussion" about this morning's political rally press conference about the "Cut & Run" and "Stay the Course" rhetoric and I haven't seen this DNC ad. Let's see if Wolfie plays it and keeps it going in the background of his wide screens like he did the GOOP Osama spot last week.

Either way, I just sent a quick $50 to Democrats.org in hopes they can get this ad on the air over the next 2 weeks.

62. Wrong- it will be "about time" when this is ON TV for EVERYONE to see.
I've seen plenty of tough, blunt fighting presented online only to netroots before- that is nothing new.

What would make this a fresh, "about time" event would be to put this on TV.

68. You are absolutely right
I don't understand why Dems keep preaching to the choir. What is going on with web only ads and press releases that only Dems see?
They need to go forward with putting this ad on TV and not pulling any punches. I would love to see footage of Katrina from last year along with pictures of * on vacation at the same time.

...I guess.

I can assure you it does not.

76. we need a follow up for this now.......
maybe something like:

taking all the "stay the course" clips followed by the "it's never been about stay the course" followed by all the clips of junior using the "flip-flopper" quotes.

Everything the dems show should be using all of juniors quotes against him......he is the repugs worst enemy.....

82. 9,343 views
Why is it that when I watched this an hour ago, the YouTube counter said there were 9,343 views, and now an hour later it says there were still just 9,343 views?

Surely lots of people are watching this ad right now, i.e. more than zero!

84. ONE THING I don't like about it...
Why does it address Bush at one point? It says "Mr. President... America deserves..." That "Mr. President" should be dropped.


Unless of course they're talking about Gore. Or Kerry.

Some of them have only been rated by a few people so any vote can make a difference.

91. Okay, here's what I put in my email to them:
I just saw the Stay the Course ad. This absolutely MUST be on TV in every major market. It shows at least one of the many lies this administration has been telling since shortly after noon on January 20, 2001. Please, please, do what you can to have it aired so it won't simply be seen on the relatively small percentage of people who look at such things via the internet. I want every single doodoo brain who watches Fox news to see this. Think you can place it when Rush Limbaugh is on?

94. Stay the course means
say the opposite of the truth.

Neocon mantra and the 30,40, per cent buy it and 60,70 per cent lose.

What a country.

This has been going on for all of my adult life and it is unbelievable but reality.

Bring on the filovirus', earthquakes, etc, as it has reached total hypocrisy and God help us all.

The government of the US is destroying the world. This once great country has imploded and the people don't have a clue.

As a "Patriot" Oh well. Believe the clowns and buy a yellow ribbon for your SUV.

97. Powerful--Show it in Montana
I sent my e-mail to DNC. This should be on TV in Montana. They hate liars but they often do not get the information and the facts showing Burns and Bush to be out and out liars. An ad like this could tilt it for Tester.

Don't bother calling them liars, just use their own blatant lies and deceit against them aikido style. This is why big brother had to keep rewriting history all the time.

112. I agree- but the DNC disagrees. They wont even show it on TV.
Edited on Thu Oct-26-06 07:09 PM by Dr Fate
If they thought this was the way to win, they would put it on TV.

They refuse.

They are too frightened to show this to swing voters.

..this ad is web only. In other words, only people who already agree with it will see it.

You can chop the opening a bit and you'd have a slick 30 sec. TV spot.

They only want donors & people who are already DEMS to see it.
