9. You gotta say it...people clearly don't get nuance.
Too much clutter in the media and life, so you gotta brand Bush's lies in big red letters saying "ANOTHER LIE" -- maybe have Jon Lovitz shouting it on the voice over.

It's like people who have a "Bush/Cheney: Four More Wars" sticker on their car... they might as well write a $100 check to the RNC. It's far too subtle for most people, even if they're not trying to read it with peripheral vision at 60 MPH. It looks like another pinhead for Bush.

Right wingers know this... they will NEVER put a sticker on their car that says "Kerry" in big letters, even if the next word is "sucks" or "lies" or whatever. Gotta give repubs credit for ability to spread the message effectively to the lowest common denominator.
