Conservative website produces anti-Howard Dean AD

Conservative website StopDemocrats.com has produced in association with CML Productions (www.cmlinternet.com) an anti-Howard Dean ad to counter-attack the many anti-Bush ads being produced by liberal websites such as MoveOn.org. The ad takes on the controversy surrounding Howard Dean's management of Vermont's only nuclear power plant that was given the worst security rating among the nation's 103 reactors.

Here is a transcript of the ad:

Former Governor Howard Dean wants to be president of the United States. He claims President Bush is weak on Homeland Security for fighting the war on terror from two fronts.

Yet, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press, Mr. Dean was warned repeatedly as Vermont governor about security lapses at his state's nuclear power plant, Vermont Yankee, and was told the state was ill-prepared for a disaster at its most attractive terrorist target.

In 1998 in a federal security test, mock terrorists sneaked a fake gun past security and six times scaled, undetected, the plant's security perimeter fence.

Security was so lax at Vermont Yankee the Nuclear Regulatory Commission gave Vermont Yankee the worst security rating among the nation's 103 reactors.

During Dean's final year in office, an audit concluded Dean's administration was poorly prepared for a nuclear disaster.

Talk about weak on Homeland Security.....

If Howard Dean can't secure a nuclear power plant in his own state, how can he ensure the security of this country?

I did that but there is no way that I am going to pay for Real Player. I will have to convert it first to use in my Windows Media Player.

Why are you running this now? We want DEAN! Club for Growth is doing the same thing. Keep the powder dry until the Dems have a candidate.

NOTE: I produced this ad in order to get feedback from it. I odnt think any Democrats will change their mind on Dean after seeing this ad. Dean is poised to become the nominee. Once he does..we would love to get funding to put it on the air.

Personally I don't want to see the WTC attack in ANY political ads.

I think the ad is good but remove the WTC from it and replace it withe either commerical jets taking off or landing or some other vulnerable infrastructure target. Otherwise, you are simply patronizing the WTC..

I don't want to see the WTC scene either. It seems to exploit that tragedy for crass political purposes. The rest is very well done.

Actually Dean seems to gain strength (amongst Democrat primary voters) when the Republicans and Conservatives attack him.

Although there is a free version of RealPlayer, it is number one on my list of causing unexpected BSOD's.
