The power of images turned against the Democrats (very powerful GOP ad)

A new ad for the November elections is playing hardball with the Dems, utilizing the power of images very skillfully.

I have no idea who made the ad. These days, thanks to the democratizing nature of the internet and cheap computing power, it could be a lone individual who put it together. The Democrats have relied for two generations on their near-monopoly of the media elites to stigmatize Republicans and conservatives. That monopoly is no more, and they are geting larger and larger doses of their own medicine.

At 3 minutes 11 seconds, it is too long for a TV ad buy. But viral distribution can make this happen in a big way.

Like it.

Much of the musical score would work in a Conan the Barbarian Movie.

It truly expresses via music the level of anger and retribution coming to the Democrats in Nov.

Very rousing; but will those brilliant, intellectual Independents begin to think or just feel and react to
Progressive agitprop, pulling the levers for their friendly, local Progressives who make them feel superior?

Just asking.

I thought the same thng. The music added the much needed passion in the ad. I really like this ad.

The music is just down-right frightening. The ad makes me want to jump on the nearest horse and charge Democrat headquarters. Great concept. I use the word great as little as possible. But this is a great concept.

This actually came out in January. It was widely distributed during the health care debate. I think it’s brilliant and just as powerful today, if not more so, than in January.

Nice with the following qualifications:
1. The Black Pampers at the polling station weren’t in it.
2. Graph shown too briefly to read.

Didn’t like it. Lost me at the 1 minute mark. I watched the rest but wasn’t very impressed.

This is about the 5th time that one’s been through here and I watch it EVERY time and send it on.

Hope everyone does the same.

Let’s start to take back our country on 11/2!!!

If the RNC had any B@!!$ they would buy the add time during Movie previews in theaters and show this. I have seen one for lefties go this long and I have had to sit through them. This is that powerful and anything less is a dereliction of duty by the RNC.

You can tell it’s been done individually (the graph of the “deep impact” is right out of a Heritage Foundation email). It’s way too long - the powerful stuff doesn’t come until you’re halfway into the thing. Bad choice. None of the opening fluff is necessary, unless it could have been delivered in less than 10 seconds (as it is it runs almost 90). Great idea - but whoever made it isn’t a professional. It’s obvious. A professional media or advertising company would have never wasted 90 full seconds to relive the mistakes - and especially never put something like that in the opening. It almost makes it seem sympathetic until you get to the middle. In a message of this kind you don’t ask viewers to hang around for your point until you give them a ton of exposition they already know & don’t need.

Good idea but needs to be redone much better than this.
