Here's an ad that would surely have a huge impact on The Greatest Generation, particularly in Florida, but also on anybody who loves our country:

1. Start with the famous movie clip of the WWII flag raising at Iwo Jima. Mention how it is sacred to all of us, especially the U.S. Marine Corps. Mention how many Americans died on that island so that these men could raise that flag.

2. Fade to a picture of George Washington at Valley Forge with the winter soldiers who starved in the cold and survived to save the Revolution (I am proud to say an ancestor of mine, Moses Mosher, was there). Explain who the winter soldiers were (Thomas Payne's pamphlet).

3. Show the cover of The Winter Soldier written by John Kerry in 1971, the book that mocks that sacred moment at Iwo Jima by using a photo of hippies in shabby uniform and beards as they raise a flag that is upside down. If time permits, there'd be a voiceover of some of the horrible stuff in that book as the camera pans to show John Kerry's name as author of the book.

4. Voice-over: "John Kerry has never disavowed what he has written in this book, but he understandably has never allowed it to be reprinted or copied so the public can read it today." (That sentence is probably too long, but something like that...maybe cut the text after "this book").

5. The coup de grace: "Should someone who mocks this sacred moment in our history be allowed to become Commander-in-Chief?"

One of many sites that has the picture for the book cover is http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2004/1/20/131219.shtml

That's my candidate for an ad!

That would make a very good ad. I'm impressed.

How about McAuliffe to Kerry: "Senator Kerry, I am afraid you have awakened a sleeping veteran giant."

Parphrase of Admiral Yamamoto after he led the attack at Pearl Harbor and realized they made one hell (Zell) of a mistake.

That would be a good ad.

And either an ad about the "Combat V"...or "Paris meetings" would be effective.

Sevry, don't forget the 8mm camera lying around on the deck somewhere.

Speaking of ads, I just remembered to make my weekly contribution.

President Bush might have given SBVT an opening for a new attack ad on Kerry with his RNC speech. Without directly attacking Kerry, Bush said,

"So our mission in Afghanistan and Iraq is clear: We will help new leaders to train their armies, and move toward elections, and get on the path of stability and democracy as quickly as possible. And then our troops will return home with the honor they have earned."

Could a SBVT ad show part Kerry's Senate testimony about American soldiers "cutting off ears and heads", etc., followed by footage of Vietnam veterans being spat upon or called "baby-killers", etc., followed by Bush saying "our troops will return home with the honor they have earned." ?

I realize that SBVT is less pro-Bush than anti-Kerry, but the contrast between the two candidates' attitudes toward "exit strategy", particularly as it pertains to respecting those who fought for their country, could sway many voters. What do you think?

Sevry,
Great flick! but at the end the music needs to be ,"you got me so I dont know what Im do-waan now-Ohhh Yeahhhh" . At that point the kerry alike comes back to life, and forest rassmann presents him with a box full of medals and such,the kerry alike quickly starts pinning them on his decaying corpse.
