Vote Republican: Or you're gonna DIE!!!

[brainshrub]

There are many issues facing Americans: The health-care crisis, the national debt, the destruction of the environment, crony capitalism and the erosion of our rights.

Instead of addressing these pressing issues in this mid-term election, the Republican party again brings out tripe like this to scare Americans into voting against their own best interests:

I just pulled the above video from GOP website. I couldn't make this up if I tried.

To understand how ridiculous this ad is, think about it this way: Over the next two years, you are far more likely to lose your home because you had to choose between bankruptcy or an operation, than losing it over a terrorist attack.

To make this even more bizarre - According to a leaked intelligence report, Republican policies have made American less safe from terrorism. Therefore, running a commercial like this is as if former Enron executives ran ads warning people that if they are not let off the hook, the company will go bankrupt.

I'm not saying that terrorism shouldn't be a concern, but Osama isn't "what's at stake" in 2006.

Note that this ad does not explain HOW you will be safer if you vote Republican. It simply implies that if you don't: YOU'RE GONNA DIE!!!

In our national anthem there is a verse where we sing "home of the free, land of the brave." Yet, GOP voters are motivated from fear rather than the traditional American value of courage.

ON EDIT: (I'll upload to YouTube when I can - but for now the video is on my server.)

1. More like Vote Republican and You will die.

The Neo-Republican/Corporate Plan for America.
ages 0-17 lack of healthcare. only the strong will survive. perfect military material.
ages 18-30 military service. those lucky enough will survive. perfect corporate material.
ages 30-65 stress/overworked for the corporate good. those dutiful enough will survive.
ages 65-??? lack of prescription medicines/concern. lived past their shelf life. Good luck.

Vote Republican Cause Everyone Has to Die Someday and Sooner is Better than Later. You want to get to heaven before it gets overcrowded, don't you ?

2. Death is for the weak.

Social darwinism is the bedrock of conservative ideology.

3. I agree. The corporate types of the Republican Party see social darwinism

while pandering to the Religious conservatives who view the savagery and death the neo-cons have wrought as a beacon for the messiah to return.

4. Dying seems to happen to most regardless of voting record

Have the repubs found the secret to immortality?

5. Yes.

Pray to Jebus and you'll be raptured. Then the rest of us will have to clean the mess the conservatives left behind.
