The Banned GOP Ad
By John
I'm reposting the Drudge-exposed GOP ad, from the producer of Scary Movie, exclusively on the grounds that it is funny as hell.
Was the GOP justified in refusing to run this ad? Probably. The ad may be humorous, but it does sink to a level normally reserved for sophmoric Bush Bashers. I hold the GOP to a higher standard.
Look I don't think anyone in the Clinton administration or the Democrats wanted the North to go nuclear (or try..see post below), but their Sunshine Policy of hugs and basketballs simply did not, nor ever will, work. I suppose what frustrates me somewhat is statements like this, from Nancy Pelosi:
"The United States does not need a multi-billion-dollar national missile defense against the possibility of a nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missile.
With what appears to be two prominent duds from North Korea, that statement may be true today...but leaders who are truly committed to the national defense think in terms of years and decades into the future. I don't feel any animousity towards the Democratic leadership and make a point to pay them the respect they deserve as elected officials, but I just don't feel like they "get it" when it comes to the post-cold strategic paradigm.
Fighting this war is messy. And because it is messy, I will continue to entrust my votes to candidates who demonstrate that they are not afraid to get their hands dirty.

That was absolutely hilarious.
It may be funny but Democrats votes on the Patriot Act, Terrorist treatment, Missile Defense Systems, NSA surveillance and on and on isn't funny. It's disgustingly naive.
Any party that cannot be trusted with national security deserves all the contempt that can be heaped upon them. And the Democrats have certainly proven that they are not to be trusted with America's security. Their rhetoric and their policies are mirror images of the foolish and cowardly European appeasers of the 1930's who made Hitler's genocidal work so very easy.
I kinda wished they showed Albright leg-pressing 400 lbs.
I'm with Army Lawyer....
Saw Chris Mathews on MSNBC last night reporting on the plane crash in Manhatten,
couldn't believe that he didn't suggest that
Hastert and Rove were behind it. You know,
to take the heat off Foley.

Come on... humorous ridicule is as old as politics. GOP "above" this? I hope not. They might edit parts of it (the clip is a first cut, much longer than a regular ad, with the intent of editing by GOP).
An ad like this would have gotten so much attention that everyone would have known about it. And since it conveys truth that many Americans don't know, it would have served to not only persuade, but actually educate voters.
Too many people get their news form the Main Stream Media, which will never tell them this information. The Democrats can get almost anything they want in the MSM. The GOP can't. An ad like this is just the thing to get around that Information Iron Curtain.
The GOP is below EDUCATING voters to the truth? The GOP is afraid to use this excellent efforts by a couple of Hollywood's best comedic talents?
No wonder they are in such trouble!
Perhaps a 527 will pick it up and run it. I hope so.

the level that politics have sunk to is troubling. i don ot think that the democrats are completely to blame though. i have traditionally voted democrat my whole life and i understand the frustration felt by lberals. however the gop did the right thing by not running this ad even though the democrats have been very weak on defense in the last decade.
