Ideas for Kerry commercials anybody?
How about "Combat errorism, vote for Kerry". Better yet would be a commercial outlining Bushes major flipflops............

2. How about a series of images / captions
juxtaposing Kerry & Bush service timelines.

Kerry entering Navy / Bush entering NG.
Kerry going to Vietnam / Bush staying in Texas.
Kerry being promoted / Bush partying
Kerry saving his buddies / Bush campaigning for Poppy's friend.
etc.

Ending with:
Kerry getting decorated / Bush going wherever/missing/awol.

Do a narrated version for radio.

3. show the media bias
A montage of all the newsmen, Every single fricking one of them: the blow-dried embedded reporters, the financial reporters, the political pundits. Show them all with their glowing words for Bush.

"awesome military might"
"economic recovery soon"
"dramatic rescue of Jessica Lynch"
"no child left behind"
"roadmap to peace"
"the improving job situation"
"end of hostilities in Iraq"
"will improve the air we breathe and the water we drink"
"a devastating blow to Al Qaeda"
"the last pockets of resistance"
"lower health care costs"
"Saddam can launch his missiles in 45 minutes"
"will improve our schools"
"will safeguard social security"
"showed compelling evidence of weapons of mass distruction"
"end of major combat operations"

Then go black. Then ask the question: "Everything's fine. Right?"

4. Yeah.
Just a voice over, on top of a black screen.

"George W. Bush is an idiot. Anyone who votes for him is a non-thinking sheep."

5. My Idea
Show bushie pushing his tax cuts... then show clips representing the falling economy, people out of work, hungry etc... Then have a bushie voice over, I am George W. Bush and I approve of this economy.

Show footage of bushie's plans to go to war talking about WMD's, then show footage of the fact that they lied about the WMD's with the voice over, I am George W. Bush and I approve of this policy.

Basically, show bushie show casing whatever subject he is on, then show the real effects of his policy, the end with him saying how be approves of the way things are going.

12. I had a similar idea
Show graphs and headlines of the declining economy, escalating war, mounting deaths and deficits etc., and have Bush's own voice in a voice-over saying "fool me once..." etc.

Or, I like your idea -- show these catastrophes and have Bush's actual voice saying "stay the course" and "the economy is improving" and "we're making progress in Iraq" etc.

8. Mission Accomplished
Film of Dubya doing his little top gun victory jig on the aircraft carrier under the mission accomplished sign. Have the date overlaying the picture.
Screen goes to black, April 2004 comes onto the screen along with the words over six hundred dead Americans.

Maybe a little heavy-handed, but some variation of this may work.

10. Good suggestion. There is a picture of the idiot with a colored
helmet and stupid goggles. Show it alongside Kerry getting his medals.

9. Do Bush* flip-flops first.
Make a "comedy of lies" commercial.
Then something on his NG service vs Kerry's war service. Get tough.

13. There's plenty of material
for the flip-flops!! Everytime they accuse Kerry of being "all over the place" on issues, I think we MUST have an ad like that.

11. the "Bring 'em On" commercial that was submitted to MoveOn
But then retracted for copyright reasons. Names of US servicemen killed in Iraq, with a voiceover of Bush's lies about WMDs and Al Qaida connections. End with "He lied. They died."

15. This is more anti-* than a pro-kerry ad...

Footage of the 1st plane hitting the WTC then a voiceover of a * impersonator saying "that's one bad pilot."

Screen goes black.

White letters appear saying Steady leadership?

18. The Perfect Ad
The planes crash into the tower, not WTC, but WJC, because it was the boy who fed this beast. After the towers come down, we have a picture of the Cole and the triumphant response from the boy...which is...anyone...anyone...anyone? Damn, this is harder than I thought. Sorry.
