You must have missed Arnold and Rudy at the GOP convention.
The focus is not humor right now...it is the war on terror and who is fit to command. Note that the SwiftVet ads are the most effective of the season. They deliver the right message. Rodney Dangerfield (RIP) isn't the way to go when highlighting the differences between Bush and sKerry.
That being said, I'd seriously consider it funny if Jimmy Swaggart did an ad claiming that Edwards was stealing his act (everyone gets healed if Kerry is elected).
An ad showing Kerry and Edwards doing their continuous groping and hugging of each other on the campaign trail...followed by Mary Cheney asking if the Johns were born that way or if it was a choice would also be amusing.
However, it would detract from Bush's strength on national security to play such a game.
I guess that would reach the shallow yet pandering sector of the nation.
Good grief.
I would love to see one that has John Kerry whining about not getting enough support from our allies, while the video portion shows headlines about the Oil-for Food scandal. Then the final question: Is there really anyone out there who does not know why we were ot supported by our "allies"?

Put that on every major media outlet in Florida.
GOP needs an ad that contrasts Kerry's call for building a coalition, and "global test" before going to war, with his vote against the Gulf War, with it's massive coalition (including Syria) and UN Security Council approval. The President mentioned it during the last debate but Kerry's vote against the Gulf War so undercuts his current position, and questions his commitment to American safety, that this needs to be hammered home. And, it is a simple and understandable subject for an ad. Even political commentators have asked why the the GOP hasn't made more of this over the past few months and I agree with them. Kerry can't run from his record on this, but the GOP is letting him hide. It's time to turn over the rock.
Liberal.
Borrow and Spend Liberal.
Elect Kerry and he will borrow and spend our money like there is no tomorrow. Who will pay for Kerry's borrowing? Who will pay for Kerry's spending?
You will. Your children will. Your grandchildren will.
Vote Bush for fiscal responsibility. The conservative choice.
Oh....he already did that. Darn.
Yes, Ted.
An untapped resource.
"Everytime you vote Democrat, another amp is turned off in the band of freedom."
On one of the local empty channels where only text is seen, I saw where the text said:
God is neither a Democrat nor a Republican, but God is watching to see how both candidates treat the poor.
I thought a little change to the text might be good, like:
...but God is watching to see how each candidate treats the unborn.
I'd like to see the boxing promoter, you know, the Black guy with the huge hair. He supports GWB. He could make a GREAT ad!!!
Senator Kerry clip: "Right now the president is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to research bunker-busting nuclear weapons. The United States is pursuing a new set of nuclear weapons. It doesn't make sense."I think four or five of those nutty calls to slash military spending, each answered by the same Miller clip, might make an effective advertisement.Senator Miller riposte: "U.S. forces armed with what? Spitballs?"
I saw Ted Nugent on TV yesterday speaking plain talk telling people to get out and vote. He did not say vote for the President but he was wearing a cowboy hat. Just used his way of speaking to urge people to vote. It was for GOAV. A get out and vote org.
At the very end they showed a small bugger king logo on the screen. So I guess they sponsered it.
How about an ad aimed squarely at the families of our reservists! They strongly support Bush and the Nuge blasting his tune "Weekend Warriors" and the background will definitely make it rock the vote!
