this Ad is pure genius. Its pacing is perfectly timed.....it flows perfectly, and it has a sort of musically astute pacing to it. Its also a fun Ad.....after watching you do want to watch it again. By that standard its as powerful as the very first Ad.
This Ad...at this time....is just perfect is because of all the droll somber Ads that are being released by Moveon.org and others. I swear some of the Moveon.org Ads should be rated PG-13, because children under the age of 13 could become dark and depressed if they view them. No Joke.
This is a perfect Ad for now.....Perhaps the next Ad should be after the debate, perhaps 1 or two days before. But this should be THE Ad to run up until then.
Its a feel good Ad, its pacing is perfect, its snappy and musical....Love his Used car salesman hand gestures, and makes its point loudly..... The guy is an Ivory Tower BS artist with little regard to the honor of his fellow soldiers.
A Most Excellent Ad. Upbeat and effective.
Update: My apologies to Used Car Salesmen, I regret smearing your good names by associating them with John Kerry. I was just trying to make a point, I never would want to indicate I thought Used Car salesmen stoop to the levels we have seen Kerry take. |

Very good ad.
I believe an ad with Steven would be the nail in the coffin. _________________ "Courage is not the lack of fear. It is acting in spite of it." - Mark Twain |

I like this ad MUCH better than the previous ad about throwing away his medals. Besides informing voters about what a traitor Kerry is, it also reinforces that he'll flip-flop on anything! |

Folks, let´s not get swallowed up by Kerry´s argument that there is a difference between medals and ribbons. Remember that a medal is a SYMBOL that represents a recognition. A full-sized medal is used with Full Dress uniforms. A miniature medal is worn on Dinner Dress uniforms (and civilian attire, if desired) A ribbon is a convenient substitute that represents the exact same recognition but is used with every-day, Service Dress uniforms . The intent and meaning of both medals and ribbons are precisely the same.
Whether Kerry tossed medals or ribbons makes no diffrence. What he rejected was the _reason_ for said awards - that is, he viewed them as symbols of his country´s appreciation for acts supposedly performed by Kerry. They are a "thank you" kiss. And in Kerry´s case, there was no loss in throwing them away.

Sorry, folks. It´s 0600 and I spent the night unable to sleep. I´m a little loopy right now. I just listened to the ad again and it finally smacked me in the kisser that Kerry said he is proud of having symbolically rejected his decorations. But these are the same decorations that he is now touting with such enthusiasm. And he claims he is "proud" of having done so. Am I missing something here?

Quote: | "Paul Woll" Kerry's comments saying if we pull out of Vietnam only a few thousand would die, and then showing the massacre that resulted. Mentioning in the ad that the same thing could happen in Iraq if Kerry was President. |
I agree, Kerry estimated 3,000 and it was closer to 3,000,000. This is the atrocity of Vietnam.
I think Kerry's connection with Colliers Int. and the POW/MIA issue should be addressed in an ad also. _________________ "Full Tour Grunt" |

Out-friggin-standing!
His eyes are blinking so fast as he tries to spin the difference between ribbons and medals he looks like Clinton during the "Monica deposition".
Only minor point I would have added would be to have a still shot of the medals/ribbons on prominent display at his senate offices now.

I like this ad a lot.
It's funny, it shows Kerry as the nit picking flip flopper (liar) and it shows him as an unrepentant America hater. He's proud of it.
Great contrast betwee Kerry the blue blooded and Kerry the little boy caught in a lie.
Good work Swifties!!! |

Great ad but it MUST get to the public not just us choirmembers. DONATE, DONATE, DONATE so it can see as much air time as possible. I'll be making another donation right now. |
