There's A Bear in the Woods (video from Reagan campaign)
You Tube ^ | 1980 | Reagan Campaign

There's a bear in the woods. For some people its easy to see. Others don't see it at all....

A Classic campaign ad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHO4M_Tar7A

Wouldn't you love to see McCain do an update to expose Obama and the Dems fecklessness on foreign affairs? Something like this:

There's a bear in the woods. John McCain's been dealing with it since 1967. Some people deny there is a bear or if its real, they think they can talk it out of its nature. But if there is a bad bear out there, who would you want to call at 3:00 am to take care of it?

There are a million ways to write a takeoff on this. Does anyone have any clout with their campaign staff to suggest it?

Carter didn’t see it even when it was eating his porridge (perhaps he was buttoning up his cardigan or adjusting his thermostat to 68 deg).

I was a kid when that ad was aired and I can recall, even then, getting it.

I'd like to see the ad include,,,

"The bear doesn't respond much to NUANCE,,,,or and could care less about your PAY GRADE!

It does, though, like anti-Americans (like Wright, Michelle, and Ayers) that help 'feed the bear'.

I'm afraid Bush failed to see that bear as well. He did FEEL him, however...

George, GEORGE – you really should have known the ONLY thing you can trust the communists to be is COMMUNISTS!

The pretext Russia used to go into Georgia was to protect its citizens (Ethnic Russian Majority in breakaway S. Ossetia). They are now making noises about protecting the Ethnic Russian majority in the Crimea Region of the Ukraine which also houses the port of Sevastapol (Home of the Russian Black Sea Fleet). Keep an eye on this...There is a Bear in the woods.

Taking out two terrorist countries...killing Saddam and his sons...and wiping out terrorists worldwide...shutting down Kaddafi...how is that just feeling the bear?

Well, let’s see.

George HAS done some of those things for which I commend him but “...wiping out terrorists” ain’t one of them.

But his “thing” for Spanish speaking folk — or terrorists who have learned a little Spanish and own a serape and sombrero — and leaving our BORDERS pretty much WIDE OPEN so the terrorists and their WMDs can come here causes me to question his resolve in “...wiping out terrorists.”

This going on while his TSA minions pat down wheelchair bound 80 year-olds at the airports.

And my remark about feeling the Russian bear relates to Pootie’s move on Georgia. Is South Carolina next? (That’s a JOKE!!) Who will feel the bear next?
