NEW Swift Boats AD

Am I the only one who finds these last two ads a bit less effective? This one is actually a bit confusing.......

I hope the Swiftess still have some bullets left in the magazine.....Fire away, guys!!!

[angkor]

work in the shot of Kerry, the hero of the revolution, hanging in Vietnamese museum as well.

I was thinking the same thing.

There's no way this is going to move votes. Money on this ad is money down the drain. Viewers not already familiar with the event and issue involved will just be left confused. They'll shrug and say, "whatever". Negative ads that aren't effective like this BACKFIRE. If you throw mud you must hit effectively or people think you are just smearing. They should show the one with lots of sincere testimonials, including the guy who treated Kerry for his first purple heart. THAT is convincing, that reaches people, this does not.

Nice try newbie but that crap tain't going to fly around here. Ads using Kerry's own words against him are NOT negative. They're instructional and devastating. Ads showing him the 70's antiwar bum remind voters that there are people who hate the country. Ads showing him contradicting himself remind voters that he can't be trusted in peace...much less war. This is money VERY well spent.

It's a different one. They just keep getting better !

The RNC needs to run an ad with LTC Calhoun ala the SBVFT Gardner ad where he says, "George Bush served his time in the guard. I was there. We spent man days working together. He was not ever under any definition in any way shirking his duty. Not ever."

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

When you get a willing horse like skerry's record, you flog it another mile.

Drive it home, re-enforce his ever changing going back over 30 years ago, re-enforce, re-enforce, kerry is a liar, kerry is a liar, in his own words kerry is a liar, cannot be trusted, cannot be trusted.

We want the knockout punch, a great boxer can frustrate his opponent's every move and cut him to pieces with sharp bloody jabs, reducing him to a whimpering ineffectual.

Maybe the SBVfT are enjoying Kerry's political death by a thousand cuts.

[Christian4Bush]

Here's a script I'd love to see them use for an ad:

There's a word for attacking your country in a time of war (clip of Kerry testifying in the background)

There's a word for making false accusations against your fellow soldiers. (Same clip)

There's a word for giving aid and comfort to your country's enemies. (Text "Kerry called Ho Chi Minh Vietnam's George Washington")

There's a word for privately negotiating with the enemy. (text in background "Kerry met with the North Vietnamese")

The word is ...

Treason.

In the words of sportscaster Dan Patrick (ESPN)...

"The pitch...gone." (Home run)

Good job.

This ad stinks. Let me explain why I believe that.

1) It's nitpicky. Its attempt to prove Kerry's a liar relies ENTIRELY on the viewer being able to discern a difference between medals and ribbons. Sorry, but anyone who understands that difference is already voting for Bush. And who cares if he threw five or six or seven over the fence and changes his story on the number. It's so nitpicky that a neutral viewer will scrunch up their face watching it and go "Bleah." This ad is purely red meat for the true believers.

2) Secondly, there's no gravitas. To go from this silly nitpicky humorous rapid cutting of video clips to the conclusion: "John Kerry--can you trust anything he says?" It just doesn't fit. The evidence in the first half of the ad doesn't lead me to the extremely grave conclusion that I can't trust anything John Kerry says.

There's so much better serious material to use to make the point that you can't trust anything John Kerry says. The medals vs. ribbons flap may be important to the SBV, but it's totally irrelevant to the swing voter. We're talking about who's going to save thousands of lives in Iraq, not about who can remember what they threw over a fence thirty years ago.

[Delphinium]

Great, that was a good one.

How many ads could be made with him saying different things about the same subject?

[Jet Jaguar]

Thanks for the ping Tonk!

[soycd]

Thank you Swift Vets!

"I've been accurate precisely"

...and I've been inaccurate imprecisely...

GREAT AD!!!! Thanks for the link.

[hoosiermama]

It's connecting here & I've got dial up....Maybe too many hits at once.

[Stallone]

ZZZZIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNGGGGGGG!

[The Sons of Liberty]

I'd like to shake the hand, and salute each and every one of the Swiftees!

[FranklinsTower]

VERY EFFECTIVE. It plays on many levels, flip-flopping, trust, and the trashing of our Nation's most revered symbols.

[Centurion2000]

Absolutely devastating
