Democratic Party ad features Bush on carrier with 'Mission Accomplished' banner


WASHINGTON (AP) — The Democratic Party questions President Bush's credibility on Iraq and the economy in a new campaign ad showing the Republican declaring an end to major combat while standing on an aircraft carrier adorned with a "Mission Accomplished" banner.
"How can you solve problems when you won't even admit they're there?" asks the ad, which will start running Friday in battleground states and on national cable networks.

1. It looks like a great ad.

Hammer away. The coWard is a liar and he must be sent back to Crawfird.

2. Good for them!

It's fair game since he's the "war president" and his war record should be hammered.

Thousands have died because bush lied.

3. Bush: Mission Incompetent

If you accept this mission you know you are going to fk it up.

4. I love it! This blast will wake up the folks that haven't been paying

attention.

I've always thought that would make a good campaign point!

6. That's cool

Would have been cooler months ago when it might've REALLY mattered, but it was worth it to *take the high road*, I'm sure...

7. "Would have been cooler months ago when it might've REALLY mattered"

Not true. In this MTV length attention span (1 second per scene) of a culture you might as well put all of your ads out on November 1st.

Definitely tres cool!

10. Not at all, this is the time viewers are tuning into politics

Kerry was blazing ahead during the summer,now after bushes supposed HUGE bounce is gone. Now it's time to bring out the big guns.

[JoFerret]

11. ...and it fits beautifully with Kerry's

Bush is in fantasy land of lies and spin theme. That's a good mantra for him I think. Fantasy, wishful thinking, spin, delusion, lying, deception.

8. FINALLY ...

it's about time they started using 'mission accomplished' against the man who has 'nothing accomplished'.

9. Booyah!!

That photo-iop once Rove's wet dream is now going to be a hellish nightmare.

[Guaranteed]

12. Excellent...simple and to the point. nt

13. OMG, it looks like he has wings!

While he's talking about the economy he looks like something from "Angels in America". :D

Excellent ad!!!

[TEXASYANKEE]

14. "America can do better"

Damn straight! Good ad.

[Khephra]

15. That's good

Now how about one showing the taped segment of Cheney praising Enron's unconventional accounting methods?

[fugue]

16. Can we say "projection"?

"John Kerry's campaign is continuing with its strategy of trying to tear down the president's record because it can't run on John Kerry's 20 year-record in the Senate or John Kerry's vision for the future because it's out of the mainstream," said Steve Schmidt, a Bush campaign spokesman.

Also, I think Kerry should counter about the negative campaign by pointing out how nice the Democratic campaign was, even at the convention, but that the Republican convention was just the final straw. He tried to get them on the high road, but at some point you've gotta defend yourself.

Kerry's the reluctant warrior once again, and the Republicans are the mudslingers that they are.

17. Does anyone know if it shows the moron in those stupid goggles giving

a "thumbs-up" sign? That picture makes him look like the complete jerk that he is.

[Justice]

18. Strong.....Resolute.... Determined...Bold........Fearless.....

that is bush all right.....

one giant catastrophic success.

19. I saw it earlier

On Hardball. I thought it was outstanding and will probably be very effective.
