Social Security Attack Ads

Average Guy (not a redneck, just a decent looking middle-class guy)sitting on his couch watching a TV. Kids running in and out of the house.

Wife calls out from the kitchen: "Honey, the privatized Social Security account is due."

Husband: "Gee, Honey, I just don't know whether we should go for the hedge funds or the junk bonds this time. What do you think?"

Wife: "Oh, I don't know hon. Maybe we should call the family stockbroker."

Husband looks into camera dumbfounded: "Uh, family stockbroker?"

CAPTION ACROSS SCREEN: Privatizing Social Security is for People Who Don't Need It. Count on the party that created it to save it. THE DEMOCRATS

Perfect! The only thing you got to do is instead of say "The Democrats" say "The Democratic Party." It sounds crazy but polls have proven that people like the sound of "democratic" more than "democrat." In fact if you look at Bush's speeches you can see he uses the word "democrat" rather than "democratic." I guess the logic behind it is that "democratic" conjurs up the image of the people ruling and a fair government. "Democrat" reminds you of abortions and gay marriage.

I've heard this and there may be something to it, although I'm guessing it may be one of those things that's okay for us to say, but not okay for them to say. Hmmm....

OK, here's my attack ad of the day.

We open on a beautiful shot of an attractive older woman, probably close to 80. She's sitting in her lovely garden, on a lush spring day.

Grandma: Of course I remember! How could I forget. My parents, they worked so hard, and scrimped, and just tried to scrimp and save and put a little bit aside. But then, almost over night -- nothing. They lost everything. Wiped out.

We cut and see that she is talking with her 20 something granddaughter, who's holding a baby.

AVO: The Democrats created Social Security to ensure every worker would have a secure future no matter if they were winners or losers in the stock market.

We're cutting to the face of the granddaughter, and then the baby.

Grandma: I think it's crazy to take that away. Why would Bush want to jeopardize something we've worked so hard for?

Shot goes blurry. Title card comes up "Tell President Bush not to gamble with your future," with a URL, "Save Social Security.com" and an 800 number, "800-SAVE-SOC"

AVO: Tell President Bush that our future is too improtant to gamble [play games] with.

That's it. I'd put it on the air tomorrow. We have got to start an emotional conversation with our fellow Americans.
