Sounds like a powerful ad (my sound card is inop).
"Television Commercial Highlights Kerry’s Conflict with Ronald Reagan
Washington, Oct 21 - "In The Face Of Evil: Reagan's War in Word and Deed,” a new film, that focuses on Ronald Reagan’s war against Soviet Communism, has inspired a television commercial produced by Americans for Peace Through Strength, a 527 political organization, designed to show how John Kerry opposed many, if not all of Reagan’s defense initiatives during his administration.
Phil Anderson, the Executive Director, of Americans for Peace Through Strength, said “We are running an ad campaign that spotlights the stark differences between the leadership President Reagan provided to win the Cold War and Senator John Kerry's lifetime commitment to weakening our national defense."
“It was never my intention to get involved in the political contest,” said Stephen K. Bannon, the writer/director of ‘In The Face Of Evil,’ who also directed the television commercial, “ but, I have been outraged at John Kerry's comparing himself to Ronald Reagan, whose policies Kerry consistently fought during Reagan's presidency while Kerry was a junior senator in the 1980s."
During the Sept. 30 presidential debate, Kerry had said, "We need to rebuild our alliances. I believe that Ronald Reagan, John Kennedy and others did that more effectively, and I'm going to try to follow in their footsteps."
The commercial, which begins running this Sunday in battleground states, on cable news outlets and the Internet, features the 1984 Reagan-Mondale debate, and shows Reagan citing Walter Mondale’s Senate voting record, which he pointed out was against every defense proposition initiated by Reagan. The commercial goes on to show how Senator Kerry opposed those same programs.
"In The Face Of Evil" is based on Peter Schweizer's best-selling book, "Reagan's War: The Epic Story of His Forty Year Struggle and Final Triumph Over Communism."

You got me! Here's a word to add to your vocabulary:
hu·mor n. The ability to perceive, enjoy, or express what is amusing, comical, incongruous, or absurd.
Yah, and, I think, if you hold it up to the light just right, it adds up to "19."
Kinda cool...
Whether you are or not, I'm getting very weary of this 'kitty' crap. Someone makes a questionable post and BAM!, there they are. I'm not singling anyone out here. Thanks.
My kitties, Romey and Stuffy, would love to

I DON'T WEAR PJ'S!
I remember some kooks back in the 80s that were trying to convince me that Reagan was the antichrist because the amount of letters in his name added up to 666.Not very convincing IMO.The same kind of people that believe Pro wrestling is real and the moon landings were faked.
I just want to say that I enjoyed the humor and I don't think you are a dweeb.
