I TOTALLY agree; this ad needs to be used by the Republican party NOW!

It would be a 'slam dunk' to use this ad to refocus attention off the Foley feeding frenzy and back on the real issues in the election as well as America's future.

This is the type of ad that people will TALK about at work and with their friends. Kind of like the super bowl commercials.

As you said, the Republicans need to grow a pair and use it!

Ronald Reagan used political satire and humorous ridicule masterfully (with the Soviet Union, liberals, democrats, etc).

If the Republicans can't even respond and defend themselves with humor like this--then they deserve the fate that they will likely face next month.

P.S. I agree. It's especially a GREAT WAY to take the focus off of this ridiculous Foley crap.

I think the idea to commission a series of these and simply release them on the internet is an excellent idea. Low cost, quick penetration, and no unnecessary commentary unless someone is looking for additional commentary.

This would bypass the MSM filtering, and it would also demonstrate just how much their influence has waned over the years. On the flip side - because they would have impact - at least Fox News would pick it up as a story if not some of the other networks. Bingo - lots of chit-chat for not a lot of money. I would imagine this would nearly bury the Foley nonsense.

As for the GOP not having the stones to run this - I don't know about a lot of you, but I've been a Republican since I could understand what that meant; but I've only voted and never really participated in party politics or activist activities. But, lately, the GOP's maneuvers (or lack thereof), and perhaps growing older, have made me not want to sit around while the GOP tries to figure out how it should conduct itself. There's no forward thinking - no guts - it all seems reactionary these days.

This ad could be a turning point - and why it's being shelved is beyond me. Of course, we're seeing it none-the-less, so obviously someone somewhere is THINKING - but who? Whomever it is they deserve a cigar and perhaps a seat on the steering committee or whatever group decides strategy.

I'm with you but that stupid "Judge" with the bad hair on Fox this morning was decrying the use of all these things that Maddy Allwrong NEVER did, why it just isn't fair. Can't stand that guy. Where's Mark Levin when you need him!
