Bush's Greedy Corporate Pigs versus Kerry's Wolves--Suggestions PLEASE! TU
Bush Wolves Commercial

This is the woman's worried, serious voice, speaking the following lengthy sentence with a beautiful background of wolves and trees that anti-environmentalist Bush would disapprove of.


"In an increasingly dangerous world, even after the first terrorist attacks on America, John Kerry and the Liberals in Congress, voted to slash America's intelligence operations by $6 billion dollars, cuts so deep they would have weakened America's defenses, and weakness attracts those willing to do harm to America."

My Suggested Counter Commercial:

In the background will be plenty of well dressed (or well stuffed pigs) with a woman speaking in the same tone of voice and the same or similar music as in Bush's commercial:

"All of George Bush's fat little piggies are afraid, but it's not because of the big, bad wolves. They are afraid of our next President, Senator John Kerry. In an increasingly greedy world, on a Friday afternoon, about one week prior to the election, George Bush and his neocon administration, quietly signed a $140 billion corporate tax cut to grant benefits to his wealthy "have's more" base,........

Need help on ending sentence; how it cuts deep and hurts America's poor or jobless due to exporting jobs so Bush's friends profit...HELP!! Please, any suggestions would be great. Criticisms are welcome.

2. Great ad idea.
I'm not sure most Americans would understand the word neocon.

5. My cable company had a 'pig' campaign last year against their rival..
who once had a monopoly in our area and took full advantage of it price-wise. They had the song "who let the dogs out?" running in the background, with 'pigs' replacing 'dogs', video of pigs invading houses & snorting, while their voice-over ran. I already had them as a cable company, but I always watched the commercial if it came on because it was so entertaining.

Maybe this wolf commercial was so stupid that it should be met with a bit of humor.

6. Maybe Ms. Piggie?
Or whatever her name is... Maybe it is too serious. I can just picture little piggies running around snorting and grunting...Who let the Pigs out? Grunt..grunt

I tried to post on Democratic.org (DNC) but I couldn't figure it out. I was logged on and all. Do you know how?

Yes, the wolf commercial was really over (or under) done.

7. That's funny
Yes, it would probably make the wolf ad even more trivial if it was met with humor that made a point and ridiculed the wolf ad at the same time.

10. the Tranquility.That's why I love it!
I know what you mean about just 11 more days. The election in 2000 had me wired for too long; up all night (despising Bush even then, after knowing what had happened to Ann Richards) praying for Gore--something I have never done for an election. I had forgotten about that. And I wasn't really political--but I knew enough to know that Bush would be very bad. And we all know that's the way things turned out, but even I wouldn't have guessed what an evil liar the man is. And then, the whoring Supreme Court-I thought I would die. That election, in itself, changed a lot of people. For 9/11 to have occured under this administration seems to be an unusually cruel twist of fate. Especially in light of the fact that they've used that as an excuse for all manner of evil, and the pseudo fear just might get him re-elected!

Sorry didn't mean to run on so.

I wish you tranquility!

11. Thank you
My poor husband, he went to bed in 2000 and Al Gore was President. He's felt like he's been in a nightmare ever since! 11 more days. :)
