At Bush In 30 Seconds you can view 30-second anti-Bush campaign ads and vote on how effective, original, persuasive, memorable, and clear you think each one is. You may view & vote on up to 20 per day. I encourage people to go there and try to vote for ads that you think may sway conservatives, rather than ones that preach to the choir.

Moveon.org has a new anti-war ad up now... quite good, really.

See it here

Yeah that was a pretty good ad - unfortunately not as impressive as the 'Michael Howard failing to answer a direct question on no less than 14 occasions' interview with Paxman, but you can't have everything.

I think there is a reach seam of disenchantment with the way the Bush administration mislead the public over the issue of WMD.

Tom Tomorrow (of this modern world) mentions the new ad in his above-linked blog. It's always nice when the people running the world out-cartoon the cartoons.

WOW, solid, that second link is excellent. For anyone who's feeling lazy, it's a clip of an interview in which Rumsfeld is caught red-handed lying his ass off. I'm off to send it to everyone I know.

Just on the topic of election ads, this made my day:

New Negative Campaign Ads Blast Voters Directly

"In the past four years, America's national debt has reached an all-time high," the ad's narrator said. "And who's responsible? You are. You're sitting there eating a big bowl of Fritos, watching TV, and getting fatter as the country goes to hell. You ought to be ashamed of yourself."



"The Medicare drug bill is a triumph of right-wing ideology masquerading as moderate reform. The pharmaceutical-drug and insurance industries are tickled pink. Guess who's paying for it? You. Congratulations, moron. I'm John Kerry and I approved this message."



Are you going to vote for a candidate whose campaign promises would cost America $1.9 trillion over the next decade?" the ad asks. "Of course you aren't. You aren't going to vote at all. In the last election, half of you didn't even show up. So, on Nov. 2, just spend the day right there at your dead-end office job, talking to your coworkers about your new sweater and e-mailing your friends photos of your stupid 2-year-old daughter you shouldn't have had."

I really like that one with the kids doing all the adult jobs... it should (although it obviously won't) sway most conservatives.
