Not that I'm religious, so I shouldn't really give a damn, but AFAIK, foetuses have never been considered to be people in the Christian tradition, at least not until late in the pregnancy. Historically, we've given burials to stillborns, yes. But not to miscarriages.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
I like the slow motion of Palin and the music/transitions, but the recording of the voice over (not the voice) sounds very amateur. Solid message however.

It could easily be argued that Obama's view's are just as extreme the other way, if not more so, Left². It's not the ad Obama would want out there, I'm just guessing. But what the hell, go for it I say and let's see how it all plays out. If it fails you can blame on religious extremists who vote against their own best interests.
Wow. I guess maybe it takes extreme to know extreme.
Wow dennis you are getting your little butt kicked aren't you? You're down to "I know you are but what am I?" It's funny when my 5 yr old granddaughter says it but coming from you: pathetic.
But thanks for putting a smile on my face. We've got big winds coming this afternoon and a red flag warning so I'm going back out with the adults to get everything tied down. They will get a kick out of what you posted. You're a source of great amusement and pity at my place.

That may be the real reason they want to claim that it is a newborn at conception. They want a tax deduction from the date of conception.

O.T. but I'm watching C-span and they are talking about drilling. An immediate solution to the high cost of fuel is to be able to deduct the cost of fuel in my opinion. Vehicles are necessary for many of us to get to work and to do the required daily chores. Since fuel is a daily part of our lives to exist, we should be able to deduct it off our income taxes. Tell me what you think.
Why aren't the Republicans pushing to make fetuses tax deductible?
i'm sure that's on the agenda. btw, over 20 states apparently have "fetal homicide" laws. you can imagine what mr roberts et al will do with that when it gets to the supreme ct.

Palin is a Domionist. They pray for the "end times", which means the destruction of the planet. She is the stealth candidate, the wet dream of the extremist radicals.

There's only one (peaceful, non-violent) way to disrupt the fascist machine: humor.
Nothing is off-limits. McShitstain's wattles, Palin's round-heeled daughter, the cunt/trollop trophy wife, the Keating 5, everything that can be hauled up and pointed to and laughed at, jeered at, sneered at. Nothing's beyond the "palin".
They must be mocked, derided, caricatured, lampooned, ridiculed, held up to contempt and disdain, ceaselessly, unremittingly, viciously, until their very names elicit gales of humiliating laughter...
Do anything it takes. Pile on, make dirty jokes, talk about her tits, and his (lack of) wits, anything.
Uh, too bad they misspelled "judgment." Oh, well ...
bigsland, dude, seriously, get a dictionary. it can be spelled either way.
Without the "e" is the preferred spelling. Technically, you're correct.
Hey, in today's dumbed-down America, where "that" is erroneously used for "who" and "anxious" is often misused in place of "eager," it's really not a big deal.
phi, your mom called. She brought home more Cheetos.
Morse- Maybe you might be able to help me better understand how Sarah Palin's allowable expenses were thievery.
It's generally believed that if an employee is allowed a per diem expense for travel, then he/she should actually, you know, be traveling in order to claim that expense.
It's generally believed that if an employee is allowed a per diem expense for travel, then he/she should actually, you know, be traveling in order to claim that expense.
Oh really? You know the travel and expense procedures for the State of Alaska's office of the governor? Or are you just saying 'in general' she's a thief, unlike Morse, who just simply calls her a thief without any qualifier?
Please sign & circulate this petition demanding Palin speak to the press. If the right can get 5000 signatures in a day demanding Oprah let Palin on her show, here's hoping this can reach well above its current 2000+ signatures.
One interview scheduled after nearly two weeks as nominee?!? We need MANY more.
Circulating this petition is as much about building & spreading awareness of the extent to which the McCain camp is "hiding" Palin as it is about getting the actual signatures. If McCain & company are already doing this - even before they get in office - what tactics will be employed if/when they have the Presidency/Vice Presidency? (Echoes of the current Bush/Cheney administration yet again). By signing we show our collective voice and spread the word about the deception taking place. Her personal life DOESN'T matter - but her opinions on foreign and domestic policy do!
Funny to see this now! Earlier today, I sent this e-mail to my brother...
I would love to see someone make this video, titled, "The World According to Palin": a video that begins with the child asking, "Mommy, tell me about my daddy..." the woman begins, "Well, when I was 16, your grandfather came into my room and forced me to have sex with him. I screamed and cried, and worried about the increased likelihood of your having some deformity, but grandpa is your daddy" (or even worse, a description of a rape scenario). Followed by voiceover/text, "Sarah Palin opposes abortion even in cases of rape or incest. Do you?"
"While the Alaska State Troopers and most municipal police agencies have covered the cost of exams, which cost between $300 to $1,200 apiece, the Wasilla police department does charge the victims of sexual assault for the tests.
Wasilla Police Chief Charlie Fannon does not agree with the new legislation, saying the law will require the city and communities to come up with more funds to cover the costs of the forensic exams.
"In the past weve charged the cost of exams to the victims insurance company when possible. I just dont want to see any more burden put on the taxpayer," Fannon said"
---------
Thanks for the link. Did you notice that ALL of the questions were relevant and intelligent and those that should be asked of Palin. Of course, they won't be asked, but should be.
I liked the ad, Morse. I agree with you ruffmama @ 68, Palin and her primitive views regarding the reproductive rights of women are scary and insulting. BigIslandDave, the spelling of the word 'judgement' differs from country to country. In Canada and Great Britain, the extra 'e' is added to the word.
ps, it's nice to see C&L back up and working. I couldn't access it yesterday for quite some time and I fell asleep early last night (stayed up too late Sunday night, I guess!).
"judgement" is actually an acceptable alternate spelling of "judgment." but i'm not crazy about the corny demonic effects. also, i don't agree with the logic that if you're opposed to abortion you should make exceptions in cases of rape. if you believe a fetus is a human being and abortion is murder, then that is unchanged by the circumstances causing the pregnancy. i don't think abortion should be illegal, but the abortion-is-wrong-except-in-cases-of-rape-or-incest position never made sense to me.

The Washington Post reported that she was using her claiming these travel expenses on days when she was just staying at home in Wasilla. It's not a matter of knowing procedures - it's obvious she's milking the state coffers for everything she can. So much for making government more efficient and responsive to the taxpayors, eh?

No questions, please; Palin sticks to her script By SARA KUGLER, Associated Press Writer
1 hour, 38 minutes ago
John McCain took a risk in picking little-known Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as a running mate, but now the campaign's playing it safer. She's sticking to a greatest hits version of her convention speech on the campaign trail and steering clear of questions until she's comfortable enough for a hand-picked interviewer later this week.
More than 40 million people tuned in last week to listen to the speech from Palin, the 44-year-old, first-term governor whom McCain announced as his surprise vice presidential pick just days before. Since then, that basic script is all anyone has heard from her publicly, and her only interaction with the media was a brief conversation with a small group of reporters on her plane Monday — off the record at her handlers' insistence.
Associated Press reporters were not on the plane, but an aide told the journalists on board that all Palin flights would be off the record unless the media were told otherwise. At least one reporter objected. Two people on the flight said the Palins greeted the media and they chatted about who had been to Alaska, but little else was said.
By comparison, her Democratic counterpart, Joe Biden, has been campaigning on his own, at times taking questions from audiences. He split off to campaign separately from Barack Obama the day after Obama announced his selection. They reunited at their party's convention and spent the following weekend campaigning together.
Biden's appearances have touched on a range of issues — in Florida he talked about U.S. support for Israel, in Pennsylvania it was economics and tax policy. He was interviewed on NBC's "Meet the Press" last Sunday
Amid growing sniping from Democrats, the McCain campaign announced that Palin would sit down for her first interview this week, with ABC. It will take place over two days at her home in Alaska.
And then?
McCain campaign manager Rick Davis has said Palin will "agree to an interview when we think it's time and when she feels comfortable doing it."
"She's not scared to answer questions," Davis said on "Fox News Sunday."
So far, Palin has barely spoken with voters either. Since the convention, she and McCain have breezed through a Wisconsin ice cream shop, a New Mexico restaurant and a Missouri barbecue place, shaking hands with diners but not taking any questions. Photographers and television cameras have been allowed full view while reporters are typically kept too far away to ask questions or hear most of the conversations.
Her public remarks essentially have been excerpts of her convention speech, delivered while introducing McCain at rallies.
Her schedule released Tuesday shows she will attend a "welcome home" rally in Fairbanks, Alaska, on Wednesday evening — her first major campaign appearance without McCain at her side and his advisers hanging in the wings.
To be sure, all candidates running for office give the same remarks over and over — Barack Obama's stump speech has hardly changed throughout the campaign, and McCain has been telling familiar stories and jokes for months.
But none of the candidates in this race has been so shielded from the media, so protected from any spontaneous situation, and Palin's unvarying remarks give the impression that she and her message are being tightly controlled. As before her convention speech, McCain's campaign is briefing Palin for her first TV interview.
After a rally Tuesday in Lancaster, Pa., a group of supporters waiting outside to shake hands with McCain and Palin screamed for her to jump up on an outdoor platform, as McCain had just done, and speak to them.
"Speech! Speech!" they cried. She continued down the line, shaking hands, and then hopped into an SUV.
In her prepared remarks, there are always descriptions of McCain as a "man who's there to serve his country and not just his party." He's someone who's "not looking for a fight but is not afraid of one either." He "doesn't run with the Washington herd." He's the only man in this election "who has ever really fought for you."
And always the same details about herself, how she "stood up to the special interests, the lobbyists, big oil companies and the good ol' boys network," as a mayor and then governor in Alaska.
The people in their crowds, many of whom say they've heard these lines before, still go wild when she repeats that McCain put everything on the line last year when he said "he would rather lose an election than see his country lose a war."
She can be a little cutting, as well, when it comes to the Democrats.
"In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers," she says. "And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change."
She delivers the line, like many of her veiled criticisms of Obama, in a disapproving tone that still manages to sound charming to her fans. It is part of what makes her so popular on the campaign trail.
In Lancaster they cheered when she reminded them, as she did in her convention speech, of Obama's primary-season comment about how some small-town Americans are bitter and cling to guns or religion. She also claimed again that she said "thanks but no thanks" to Alaska's so-called Bridge to Nowhere, even though her version of the story has been widely debunked.
She voiced support for the bridge during her gubernatorial campaign, and the project was only called off after it had become an embarrassment to the state.
Another crowd favorite in her speech is that story about how she got rid of luxuries in the state Capitol, like a personal driver, chef and luxury jet.
"I put it on eBay," she says.
Audiences love this part, but what Palin never adds is that the jet didn't sell on eBay despite numerous attempts. The state eventually hired an aircraft broker to unload it.

Liberal AND Proud Says: Why aren’t the Republicans pushing to make fetuses tax deductible?
Dude, that is brutal.
The truth about debt in this broken down country:
The 53 trillion dollar debt problem
No one is going to fix this problem. Our country is sinking fast.
O.T. but I'm watching C-span and they are talking about drilling. An immediate solution to the high cost of fuel is to be able to deduct the cost of fuel in my opinion. Vehicles are necessary for many of us to get to work and to do the required daily chores. Since fuel is a daily part of our lives to exist, we should be able to deduct it off our income taxes. Tell me what you think.
If you can donate anything to Obama, now is the time.
I get a raise in a few and will drop in another few hundred.
Palin was a dirty Reslug stripper.
Liberal AND Proud @ 35:
i'm sure that's on the agenda. btw, over 20 states apparently have "fetal homicide" laws. you can imagine what mr roberts et al will do with that when it gets to the supreme ct.

Can't wait until they let the "pit bull" off the leash, unscripted and she starts with these types of viewpoints and has to defend them. This may get them painted in a corner.
Nice script, but it sounds as if it were recorded in a bathroom.
rick street @ 52:
Well, you know its a sin now to some of these idiots so I guess it really wouldn't be a leap to "outlaw" it....
Great Ad that speaks loudly that Palin is the worst pick in history that will force women back 50 years.
Will this be aired on television? A silly question, perhaps, but there are a lot of 'internet ads' that sadly never see the flickering light of day, so to speak. And this was a very effective one.
Internet Explorer no longer loads C&L tried it on multiple PCs.. version issue? Firefox runs it fine, but it loads slow. New Ad bar?
This is excellent and deserves major tv time in every market.
"Bristol.....quit reading this filth and go breastfeed your brother!!!"
here is a suggestion for everyone
if you get a chain email alleging a palin scandal....delete it...it is a rovian trick
thank you
It seems to me the experience argument is a total non-starter.
Nobody has made necessity for experience more irrelevant than the Chimperor himself.
Murkins permitted a totally corrupt, totally idiotic, totally ill-prepared, totally inexperienced cum-stain to be appointed Preznint, twice.
The question isn't "do you have the relevant experience?' It's "who owns you?"
Bush was/is owned by the Military/Industrial/National Security cabal, and the petro-chemical/oil industry.
McStain's body and soul the creature of the military, big oil, credit card companies, big money medical and insurance groups.
Obama was/is owned by the same MINS cabal, plus big finance and the BIG AG industry (Monsanto, Cargill, ADM, etc)...
The choice isn't inspiring...

such irony that the election of a woman into the highest office in the land could actually result in the loss of rights for all women.
surfjac @ 66:
I would ask why do you think that marriage is the only option? What do you think of your future son-in-law's web page. Does his views on that web page reflect what you want in a son-in-law. Is he truly that worthy of your daughter?
Palin is a Domionist. They pray for the "end times", which means the destruction of the planet. She is the stealth candidate, the wet dream of the extremist radicals. This is the most dangerous candidate ever to be given the national stage and be scripted to appear normal. She is not. She is our enemy. If you believe in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights do everything in your power to stop her.
Or, if you want a Taliban style government where women are nothing more than servants and baby making machines, go for it.

Frigging frightening...
There's only one (peaceful, non-violent) way to disrupt the fascist machine: humor.
Nothing is off-limits. McShitstain's wattles, Palin's round-heeled daughter, the cunt/trollop trophy wife, the Keating 5, everything that can be hauled up and pointed to and laughed at, jeered at, sneered at. Nothing's beyond the "palin".
They must be mocked, derided, caricatured, lampooned, ridiculed, held up to contempt and disdain, ceaselessly, unremittingly, viciously, until their very names elicit gales of humiliating laughter...
Do anything it takes. Pile on, make dirty jokes, talk about her tits, and his (lack of) wits, anything.
rick street @ 27:
Without the "e" is the preferred spelling. Technically, you're correct.
Hey, in today's dumbed-down America, where "that" is erroneously used for "who" and "anxious" is often misused in place of "eager," it's really not a big deal.
Yours for nit-picking,

It's generally believed that if an employee is allowed a per diem expense for travel, then he/she should actually, you know, be traveling in order to claim that expense.
Uuh. The fade to red is a powerful motiff; Linda Blair was to me unseated from her coveted title of most scary pretty girl ever.
Uppity Blue Lensman @ 73:
Oh really? You know the travel and expense procedures for the State of Alaska's office of the governor? Or are you just saying 'in general' she's a thief, unlike Morse, who just simply calls her a thief without any qualifier?
Petition to Release Sarah Palin to Journalists!
Please sign & circulate this petition demanding Palin speak to the press. If the right can get 5000 signatures in a day demanding Oprah let Palin on her show, here's hoping this can reach well above its current 2000+ signatures.
One interview scheduled after nearly two weeks as nominee?!? We need MANY more.
To sign this petition, please click this link:
http://www.PetitionOnline.com/B9AE83R/petition.html
Circulating this petition is as much about building & spreading awareness of the extent to which the McCain camp is "hiding" Palin as it is about getting the actual signatures. If McCain & company are already doing this - even before they get in office - what tactics will be employed if/when they have the Presidency/Vice Presidency? (Echoes of the current Bush/Cheney administration yet again). By signing we show our collective voice and spread the word about the deception taking place. Her personal life DOESN'T matter - but her opinions on foreign and domestic policy do!
Funny to see this now! Earlier today, I sent this e-mail to my brother...
I would love to see someone make this video, titled, "The World According to Palin": a video that begins with the child asking, "Mommy, tell me about my daddy..." the woman begins, "Well, when I was 16, your grandfather came into my room and forced me to have sex with him. I screamed and cried, and worried about the increased likelihood of your having some deformity, but grandpa is your daddy" (or even worse, a description of a rape scenario). Followed by voiceover/text, "Sarah Palin opposes abortion even in cases of rape or incest. Do you?"
Compassionate Conservatism --without all that Compassionate-fluff nonsense.
Palin slashed the budget there alright; Rape Victims (in Alaska) are charged for the rape kits police use for evidence.
http://www.alternet.org/blogs/peek/under_palin%2C_wasilla_charged_rape_v...
"While the Alaska State Troopers and most municipal police agencies have covered the cost of exams, which cost between $300 to $1,200 apiece, the Wasilla police department does charge the victims of sexual assault for the tests.
Wasilla Police Chief Charlie Fannon does not agree with the new legislation, saying the law will require the city and communities to come up with more funds to cover the costs of the forensic exams.
"In the past weve charged the cost of exams to the victims insurance company when possible. I just dont want to see any more burden put on the taxpayer," Fannon said"
It would be such a hoot if McCain croaked in office.

Thanks for the link. Did you notice that ALL of the questions were relevant and intelligent and those that should be asked of Palin. Of course, they won't be asked, but should be.
I liked the ad, Morse. I agree with you ruffmama @ 68, Palin and her primitive views regarding the reproductive rights of women are scary and insulting. BigIslandDave, the spelling of the word 'judgement' differs from country to country. In Canada and Great Britain, the extra 'e' is added to the word.
ps, it's nice to see C&L back up and working. I couldn't access it yesterday for quite some time and I fell asleep early last night (stayed up too late Sunday night, I guess!).
80 Liberal AND Proud Says: It would be such a hoot if McCain croaked in office.
I don't wish death on anyone. That isn't a "hoot" in my opinion. Shame on you.
I didn't wish his death.
I said it would be a hoot. Then, Palin would be President.
It'd be fun.
Hell, McCain ain't gonna live forever. Even Reagan found that out.
"judgement" is actually an acceptable alternate spelling of "judgment." but i'm not crazy about the corny demonic effects. also, i don't agree with the logic that if you're opposed to abortion you should make exceptions in cases of rape. if you believe a fetus is a human being and abortion is murder, then that is unchanged by the circumstances causing the pregnancy. i don't think abortion should be illegal, but the abortion-is-wrong-except-in-cases-of-rape-or-incest position never made sense to me.
The polls are looking bad but don't believe them!!
Hell...oh,
My name is Sarah..Sarah Cheney. Like my predecessor, Darth, the mission is to advance our reach of the Dark Side...and of course to scare the hell out of you! Using the Devil's Political Arts I will paralyse you liberal pansies into inaction until me and my fellow Siths once again capture the Ultimate Prize while you are left to wonder How It Happened Yet AGAIN!!!
Fools...
dennis @ 76:
The Washington Post reported that she was using her claiming these travel expenses on days when she was just staying at home in Wasilla. It's not a matter of knowing procedures - it's obvious she's milking the state coffers for everything she can. So much for making government more efficient and responsive to the taxpayors, eh?
Sara Palin said Freddie and Fannie got too big and fat for the tax payers. ooops. She didn't even know what Freddie and Fannie do. She thought they are a liberal couple in Washington. -g-
Today she was briefed about Lehman being down hard. She immediately told the crowd, in Palin-McCain administration no layman will be knocked down. -g- (I made this up.)
I am getting worried. People seem to want to believe that the country is in better shape than it is.....sort of the old whistling in the dark trick.
McCain is bad enough, almost unthinkable. But this this, this Palin woman won't have a clue what to do when he croaks, and he will. Then the neo-cons will just run even further amok than than they have under this felonious administration.
We've all got to get out ther and work, work, work. And Obama is going to need to play as dirty a game as they do. There is no longer any room for ethics in presidential politics.
Love it. I am so happy that this ad will be running on Obama's behalf. Oh wait dumbshit disbanded all of his 527's.
This ad needs to run nationally. It’s the true definition of what Palin believes not the bullshit spin coming from McCain
Bribery scandal rocks Big Oil
KBR and Haliburton, its the era of when Cheney was at the helm, DoJ and FBI on the rampage.
The times they are a changing, a new administration is on its way, DoJ old timers know this.

No questions, please; Palin sticks to her script By SARA KUGLER, Associated Press Writer
1 hour, 38 minutes ago
John McCain took a risk in picking little-known Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as a running mate, but now the campaign's playing it safer. She's sticking to a greatest hits version of her convention speech on the campaign trail and steering clear of questions until she's comfortable enough for a hand-picked interviewer later this week.
More than 40 million people tuned in last week to listen to the speech from Palin, the 44-year-old, first-term governor whom McCain announced as his surprise vice presidential pick just days before. Since then, that basic script is all anyone has heard from her publicly, and her only interaction with the media was a brief conversation with a small group of reporters on her plane Monday — off the record at her handlers' insistence.
Associated Press reporters were not on the plane, but an aide told the journalists on board that all Palin flights would be off the record unless the media were told otherwise. At least one reporter objected. Two people on the flight said the Palins greeted the media and they chatted about who had been to Alaska, but little else was said.
By comparison, her Democratic counterpart, Joe Biden, has been campaigning on his own, at times taking questions from audiences. He split off to campaign separately from Barack Obama the day after Obama announced his selection. They reunited at their party's convention and spent the following weekend campaigning together.
Biden's appearances have touched on a range of issues — in Florida he talked about U.S. support for Israel, in Pennsylvania it was economics and tax policy. He was interviewed on NBC's "Meet the Press" last Sunday
Amid growing sniping from Democrats, the McCain campaign announced that Palin would sit down for her first interview this week, with ABC. It will take place over two days at her home in Alaska.
And then?
McCain campaign manager Rick Davis has said Palin will "agree to an interview when we think it's time and when she feels comfortable doing it."
"She's not scared to answer questions," Davis said on "Fox News Sunday."
So far, Palin has barely spoken with voters either. Since the convention, she and McCain have breezed through a Wisconsin ice cream shop, a New Mexico restaurant and a Missouri barbecue place, shaking hands with diners but not taking any questions. Photographers and television cameras have been allowed full view while reporters are typically kept too far away to ask questions or hear most of the conversations.
Her public remarks essentially have been excerpts of her convention speech, delivered while introducing McCain at rallies.
Her schedule released Tuesday shows she will attend a "welcome home" rally in Fairbanks, Alaska, on Wednesday evening — her first major campaign appearance without McCain at her side and his advisers hanging in the wings.
To be sure, all candidates running for office give the same remarks over and over — Barack Obama's stump speech has hardly changed throughout the campaign, and McCain has been telling familiar stories and jokes for months.
But none of the candidates in this race has been so shielded from the media, so protected from any spontaneous situation, and Palin's unvarying remarks give the impression that she and her message are being tightly controlled. As before her convention speech, McCain's campaign is briefing Palin for her first TV interview.
After a rally Tuesday in Lancaster, Pa., a group of supporters waiting outside to shake hands with McCain and Palin screamed for her to jump up on an outdoor platform, as McCain had just done, and speak to them.
"Speech! Speech!" they cried. She continued down the line, shaking hands, and then hopped into an SUV.
In her prepared remarks, there are always descriptions of McCain as a "man who's there to serve his country and not just his party." He's someone who's "not looking for a fight but is not afraid of one either." He "doesn't run with the Washington herd." He's the only man in this election "who has ever really fought for you."
And always the same details about herself, how she "stood up to the special interests, the lobbyists, big oil companies and the good ol' boys network," as a mayor and then governor in Alaska.
The people in their crowds, many of whom say they've heard these lines before, still go wild when she repeats that McCain put everything on the line last year when he said "he would rather lose an election than see his country lose a war."
She can be a little cutting, as well, when it comes to the Democrats.
"In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers," she says. "And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change."
She delivers the line, like many of her veiled criticisms of Obama, in a disapproving tone that still manages to sound charming to her fans. It is part of what makes her so popular on the campaign trail.
In Lancaster they cheered when she reminded them, as she did in her convention speech, of Obama's primary-season comment about how some small-town Americans are bitter and cling to guns or religion. She also claimed again that she said "thanks but no thanks" to Alaska's so-called Bridge to Nowhere, even though her version of the story has been widely debunked.
She voiced support for the bridge during her gubernatorial campaign, and the project was only called off after it had become an embarrassment to the state.
Another crowd favorite in her speech is that story about how she got rid of luxuries in the state Capitol, like a personal driver, chef and luxury jet.
"I put it on eBay," she says.
Audiences love this part, but what Palin never adds is that the jet didn't sell on eBay despite numerous attempts. The state eventually hired an aircraft broker to unload it.
Can we spread this link to Republican blogs?
Maybe that would help...

Yep, another great ad indeed. Nothing dirty, nasty or subliminal about it either.
If there was only some way to get this kind of psa to be run fairly regularly on American television-- and even radio.
