I've added 5 more new ads, and these will be the last ones I make for this election. Time is short, so check them out and get as many eyeballs in front of them as you can. They are not just funny, they make a good point.

Back in 2004 I was planning on re-dubbing the audio of a certain Liberal attack ad to make it critical of their record in government. In the process of creating that ad, I discovered it contained a subliminal image. The media attention this got resulted in the ad quickly and quietly being taken off the air, so I didn't see any point in continuing with my original project . Durring the 2005-2006 campaign, I went back and reviewed the ads used by the Liberals in 2004, and realized that it would be even easier to point that ad back...

ARLINGTON, VA -- Today, Bush-Cheney '04 announced the release of the campaign's newest television advertisement, "Windsurfing."  The ad highlights John Kerry's tendency to go whichever way the wind blows on the most important issues facing our nation, including the War on Terror, education reform and health care.  The ad will rotate in on national cable and in select local markets.Script For "Windsurfing" President Bush: I'm George W. Bush and I approve this message.Voice Over: In which direction would John Kerry lead? Kerry voted for the Iraq war, opposed it, supported it, and now opposes it again. He bragged about...

Rhetoric  PRESIDENT BUSH: “We're creating jobs, good, high paying jobs for the American citizens.” FIRST MAN: "The jobs that the President is talking about are low paying jobs.

Bush approval at 49%PRINCETON, NJ -- Despite extensive publicity given to attack ads that criticize Democratic candidate John Kerry's service in Vietnam, a new CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll finds no change in voter preferences. President George W. Bush receives 50% support among likely voters, compared with Kerry's 47% -- identical to results in a similar poll two weeks ago. Among registered voters, the race remains a virtual tie.  Since May, the race between Bush and Kerry among likely voters has varied within a small range -- with Kerry having a six-point lead in early June, and Bush a four-point lead at...

Too Soon It's only May. This is just a cheerful reminder that you need not pay any attention to presidential polls, approval ratings and such stuff. It's way too early. Political junkies and television talkers pore over these polls like tea leaves, but springtime is too early for them to have any meaning for a fall election. Traditionally, the majority of Americans don't start thinking about the presidential election in a serious way until October. What people are thinking in October will be a pretty good indicator of how they will vote on Nov. 4. What they are thinking in...

I Don't Care Who You Put In, Just Get Bush Out! Recently John Kerry has emerged as the frontrunner of the Democratic primaries, and he'll likely be the democratic nominee for President. Until recently, however, the Democrats were a scrambling mess trying to find someone - anyone! - to step up and take the nomination. Their candidate had to be reliable, electable, one who would unify the various wings and factions of the Democratic Party - but most importantly, the candidate has to one who can get Bush out of office! The Democratic campaign is little more than a helter-...

Let's put our FReeper creativity to use. Give us your best attack ad for "W" to use this November.

<p>SACRAMENTO - After nine months of relentless attack ads aimed at his Republican opponents, Gov. Gray Davis is trying to accentuate the positive as he girds himself for the final three weeks of a caustic re-election campaign.</p> <p>Internal campaign polls show Davis with a double-digit lead over GOP challenger Bill Simon, so the Democratic governor is preparing to phase out the attack ads and shift entirely to positive commercials by Election Day, Nov. 5.</p>

<p>LOS ANGELES (AP) - Democratic Gov. Gray Davis released a new ad Monday that contrasts his support for abortion rights, gun safety laws and certain environmental protections with Republican Bill Simon's opposition to them.</p> <p>With the Nov. 5 election approaching, Davis is shifting his weekly $2.5 million ad budget from commercials skewering his opponent's business record to more positive spots about his own background and the differences between the two candidates.</p>

WASHINGTON –– Click on a Democratic National Committee Web site and watch an animated image of President Bush pushing a wheelchair-bound individual off a cliff. Not once, but twice. Designed as a combination attack on Social Security and fund-raising appeal, the cartoon says, "Bush and Republicans still want to push their privatization plans through Congress." The narration is audible above the noise of a woman shrieking in horror as her wheelchair crashes.

Democrats' television strategy to paint Republicans as supporting privatization of Social Security hit a snag the last two weeks when stations in North Carolina and West Virginia refused to run the ads. In West Virginia, TV stations have pulled and are refusing to run ads that say Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, a freshman Republican, did not vote for a measure that would have barred a hypothetical privatization of Social Security. In announcing its decisions, one of the stations, NBC affiliate WSAZ, said its analysis "found that claim to be false." And in North Carolina, several stations have pulled ads sponsored...

Former President Bill Clinton said Gov. George Pataki's attack ads against Democrat gubernatorial candidate H. Carl McCall show that Pataki is nervous about McCall's chances of success. The ads released this week accuse McCall of voting to raise taxes as a state senator 25 years ago, favoring restoring the commuter tax, and, as state comptroller, not doing enough to help the upstate economy. "When a person who's supposed to have a big lead runs an ad like that which attacks Carl McCall ... for votes he cast between 23 and 30 years ago ... that's a dead giveaway that Governor...

4th District ads differ in tone Rhonda Cook - Staff Thursday, July 25, 2002 Less than a month before their showdown at the polls, U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney and her challenger are facing off with different radio ads. Majette's doesn't mention McKinney, while McKinney's attacks Majette by name. The five-term congresswoman and the former DeKalb County judge are seeking the Democratic nomination for the 4th Congressional District seat in the Aug. 20 primary. Majette --- who McKinney claimed is backed by conservative Republicans --- uses her ad to attack Republicans. The ad says Majette has "the record to take on...

<p>Less than one week after beginning a new general election ad touting his own record, Gov. Gray Davis is taking to the airwaves in an effort to do damage to his GOP opponent, Bill Simon. Following is the text of the ad and an analysis by Bee Political Editor Amy Chance.</p>
