WOW, I just saw a powerful TV commercial on CNN Live, "A Time for Change"

[mtnsnake]

It totally throttled Bush and his minions, showing their pictures and picking them apart. You have got to see this for yourselves if you haven't seen it already. I forget who produced it but they deserve medals. It was the "American something" but I was so excited I forgot their name when I saw it on the bottom of the ad. Has anyone else seen this? This was AWESOME!

It's about time something like this got on! Yeah baaaaby!!

On edit: Here is what I believe is the link to the video of the commercial, or at least a version of it, thanks to the poster, npincus, in post #5:

The version I actually saw was just a bit different, very hard hitting to say the least.

1. Can't check it out for a while, I can't tear myself away from the alito

hearings. Sure would like to see it though.

2. i tried to find it online... somebody please provide sponsor name

we can shoot this all over the internets

3. I was trying to find it online & I think it's by "Americans United"

although I'm not sure on that. There is so little on this commercial when I searched online that I think it may be brand new. You have got to see it. It's amazing to see this on such a MSM network. I have to get some work done but I'm going to set a tape in the VCR and tape CNN for six hours just in case they do a replay of it again today. Between this and the Alito hearings, I just can't get any work done!

9. Was Bill Bennett in any of the photos? I bet they wasn't picking him

apart. Since I can't watch this White House whore network. Tell me who were in the photos and who were they picking apart?

Yeah baaaaby!! Let all run over to CNN and see the big fucking change.

10. Watched the video at Americans United. Here's who they are and what

they're up to, from their website:

American United Moves Beyond Social Security Issue

washingtonpost.com's Politics Blog (01.25.2006)

A progressive group created last year to defeat President Bush's proposal to overhaul Social Security today announced that it is re-forming and broadening its scope in hopes of influencing the public policy debate between now and Election Day.

Americans United -- formerly Americans United to Protect Social Security -- will kick off its effort with a $1 million national cable ad buy seeking to highlight the "culture of corruption" that allegedly pervades the nation's capital. Produced by Jim Margolis, a partner in the Democratic media firm GMMB, the ad runs through a list of negative items it wants viewers to associate with Republicans -- from high gas prices (an image of Halliburton is shown) to ethics problems (images of Rep. Tom Delay, lobbyist Jack Abramoff, and former vice presidential chief of staff Scooter Libby are shown) to Hurricane Katrina (cue image of the now infamous "Brownie").

"What time is it?" asks the ad's narrator. "Time for a change." It goes on to promote the Honest Leadership and Open Government Act that congressional Democrats unveiled last week.

Karen Olick, executive director of Americans United, said at a press conference today that her group would be working in as many 36 states in 2006, beginning with an effort in the lead-up to President Bush's State of the Union address to force the administration to detail its ties to Abramoff.

Also on hand at the press event was Democratic pollster Mark Mellman, who argued that "political corruption is likely to be a very important issue in this election." Pointing to 1994's landslide Republican victories, Mellman concluded there is an "electoral consequence" for the perception of corruption.

The hope in Democratic circles is that Americans United will grow into a force similar to Progress For America -- the largest conservative 527 organization operating in the political sphere. It may also help the Democratic effort to nationalize the 2006 elections around issues like public corruption, health care and high energy prices, according to several Democratic operatives.

13. Very strong, and hits all the important points - "To improve the state of

our nation, we must improve the state of our leadership." Tin foil hat question: Why would the corpo-media let this play on TV?
