That Swiftboat ad in which the camera panned across a field of Kerry’s former military colleagues who would not support him was one of the most powerful I have every seen. Especially when it featured Bud Day with the Medal of Honor around his neck.

It was, in my opinion, enough to cost him the election.

Yours is an excellent idea, but it needs to feature people with a broad geographic and ethnic spread, and it needs to identify them by walk in life, i.e. “doctor,” “homemaker,” “teacher,” “roofer,” “lawyer,” “student,” etc.

It will take money. Anybody here with the talent and skills to do it?

Do you recall how the Swiftboats were discredited? But Kerry knew he couldn't release his military records as they would show his dishonorable discharge or whatever he was hiding.

I don't have the skills to put an ad together. I think the money is there. But I've seen some pretty clever and simple things on U-Tube.

I agree, it should be people from all walks of life and color.

Once you see his scores consistently hitting double digits, (e.g. it's at 10 today and was 11 over the weekend), this thing will take hold, because people will realize that they elected someone who should never have been put in office, and they're going to want a reason for being duped.

Well we were duped the same way alt of people have been over the course of time with Obama.

I was in Dixon, IL a few years back to work for a week or so.

Reagan is everywhere.

I stayed at a hotel that had a swimming pool and a huge mural showing Reagan as life guard, and in another room large pictures of him.

There's the house he lived in etc etc.

I don't really wish to know the dirt about the president unless it truly reflects the man's character.

I guess Watergate defined the way presidents up till that time acted. No one questioned LBJ having the FBI taking home movies of MLK etc and other sibilance's. But Nixon got busted and was too stupid in his handling of it.

Clinton's presidency will always be characterized by his affair that underscored the man's sexual addiction.

Obama is a narcissist in the worst way. This health care bill is all about him, and nothing about what is good for the country.

The man is now talking about passing ANY health care bill. And if it can be termed bipartisan then all the better.

IF ANY REPUBLICANS PULL A BEHIND THE SCENES MANEAUVER ON THIS, TO PUT A BILL TOGETHER WITH THE DEMOCRATS I'LL SCREAM!
