Washington, DCThe RNC today sent a new web video to more than 700,000 Team Leaders, pointing out that John Kerry has a few things in common with the cicadas.
Nature is a consummate teacher and in this case the lesson is-no matter how hard they try, a cicada will always be a cicada and John Kerry will always be John Kerry, said RNC Communications Director Jim Dyke.
Script:
"Cicadas"
NARRATOR: "Every 17 years, cicadas emerge, morph out of their shell, and change their appearance. The shells they leave behind are the only evidence they were here. Like a cicada, Senator Kerry would like to shed his Senate career and morph into a fiscal conservative, a centrist Democrat opposed to taxes, strong on defense... But, he leaves his record behind. 17 years ago, Kerry voted to raise taxes by $24 billion dollars."
CHYRON: "Kerry voted to raise taxes by $24 billion"
NARRATOR: "17 years ago, Kerry voted to eliminate Minuteman Missiles."
CHYRON: "Kerry voted to eliminate Minuteman Missiles"
NARRATOR: "17 years ago, Kerry voted for an $800 surtax on Medicare recipients."
CHYRON: "Kerry voted for an $800 surtax on Medicare recipients"
NARRATOR: "17 years later, he is for raising taxes, voted against funding our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, and wants to take the prescription drug card away from seniors. When the cicadas emerge, they make a lot of noise. But they always revert to form, before disappearing again."
RNC CHAIRMAN ED GILLESPIE: "The Republican National Committee is responsible for the content of this advertisement."
CHYRON: "He is for raising taxes; Voted against funding our troops; Wants to take the prescription drug card away from seniors; Paid for by the Republican National Committee; Not authorized by any candidate or candidate committee; www.gop.com"
When he rubs his legs together it makes a loud squeeking noise?
They both look for ugly mates?
What does the cicada and Ketchup have in common? Both ruin everything they touch.
Like a cicada, Senator Kerry lays on his back rubbing his legs together, wailing for his valet to change his adult diaper.
Just guessing here...
Do male cicadas marry extremely wealthy female cicadas every 17 years when they're "running low"?
Do cicadas deny owning fleets of SUVs?
I know cicadas can fly, but do they do it on their mate's GulfStream?
Do cicadas migrate every year between seventeen well-appointed mansions around the world?
Are there lesser cicadas whose purpose is to make sandwiches for superior cicadas?
Oh, I think I've got it...
Do cicadas trust their survival to Kofi Annan?
OK, I saw the ad. What's the freakin' big deal? Why do Democrats find it so offensive?
