Jillian,
The ad didn't really bother me one way or the other because truthfully, I think it could be just as effective as an ad for Democrats as it could be for Republicans.
As I said in another thread about this ad...if I am a Democrat I watch the ad and say, "Wow. Bush has made things so bad. Bin Laden is still out there saying these crazy things and Iraq and Afganistan are just making it worse. I can't wait until November so we can get control back where it belongs and start to clean up this mess so we can get these people to stop hating us so much and get the war-mongering republicans out of office. This ad really sums up why everyone should vote Democrat."
If I am a Republican watching the ad I say, "Wow. That guy is crazy...the Islamo-Facists are so out-of-control. Thank God we finally have a President who is willing to stand up and try to do something about it. We have to hold Republican power if we are going to continue to take the fight to these psychos and deal with them rather than appeasing them and trying to play nice with people who want to kill us. This ad really sums up why everyone should vote Republican."
See what I mean? This ad simply plays to the decided voters on both sides. The undecideds are either going to vote Democrat because they think that maybe the other side would do it better or they'll vote Republican because they don't think the other side will do better.
This ad is just same old same old, getting indignant about it is just a waste of time and energy. It doesn't say anything that both sides haven't tried to use as leverage a million times before.
