The New GOP Ad

THIS IS YOUR CITY, UNLESS YOU VOTE REPUBLICAN

Alternate slogan: “Nice house you got there — be a shame if Bin Laden nuked it because you voted for the wrong candidate.”

Anyway, here’s the info about the actual new ad, courtesy of NewsMax.

 Osama Bin Laden Featured in GOP TV Ad

The Republican Party will begin airing a hard-hitting ad this weekend that warns of more cataclysmic terror attacks against the U.S. homeland.

The ad portrays Osama bin Laden and quotes his threats against America dating to February 1998. “These are the stakes,” the ad concludes. “Vote November 7.”

The ad displays an array of quotes from bin Laden and his top lieutenant, Ayman al-Zawahri, that include bin Laden’s Dec. 26, 2001 vow that “what is yet to come will be even greater.”

The ad also cites al-Zawahri’s claim to have obtained “some suitcase bombs,” followed by a scene that appears to show a nuclear explosion.

Despite al-Zawahri’s claim, portable nuclear devices are believed to be particularly difficult to produce and elusive to rogue regimes and terror groups.

The ad is also featured on the RNC’s Web site. The party said the ad, called “The Stakes,” will be e-mailed to millions of GOP supporters, activists and the state parties.

Democrats denounced the ad as scaremongering.

“Scaremongering”?  Good golly no!  It’s just a reminder that Bin Laden hates our freedom so much that he will kill you unless you vote the way you’re told.

It’s sort of a Hail Mary pass, isn’t it? After all, the party with all the power these last years has failed to capture bin Laden — has, indeed, totally botched it. Of course nasty liberals like myself might feel that this is so they can use his image in ads such as these to scare the pants off the people of America … (in itself a somewhat frightening notion, now that I consider it …).

Oh noes, not the Bin Laden! I swear to Cthulu, if it weren’t for the nebulous War on Terra the Repubs would have only homo-nups and dead zygotes on which to run, and sadly it would still be a tight race.
I want to, I really want to know how to shift the paradigm (Christ on a cracker I hate that phrase) to real issues that affect people: the economy, health care, etc. The Dems haven’t figured it out, and neither have I, ’cause there’s that shiny thing that distracts half the population from thinking.
Look…it’s shiny.

I think the pocket calendar Rove gave Bush says “Mention Osama!” on the 13th of every month:
“The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him.” -President George W. Bush, Sept. 13, 2001
“I don’t know where [Osama bin Laden] is and I really don’t care. It’s not that important. It’s not our priority.” -President George W. Bush
March 13, 2003
“Gosh, I just don’t think I ever said I’m not worried about Osama bin Laden. It’s kind of one of those exaggerations.” -President George W. Bush
Oct. 13, 2004
What a flip-flopper…

So, 9/11 was Clinton’s fault because he didn’t get bin Laden, even though it happened on Bush’s watch. Five years later, we have to vote pro-Bush or bin Laden will kill us.
WTC deaths under Clinton: 6; under Bush: 2,996.
