Hey, its politics, but at least that particular add is half about being FOR some party.
Most adds are just
Republicans EVIL
or
Democrats EVIL

I can't stand to watch TV or listen to radio for nearly two weeks prior to the day, and Texas isn't even a particularly interesting battleground, other than TX22. Those poor people in Virginia...

I guess it's more appealing to the voters than the "Vote Republican or you'll be walking to work" ads they were going to circulate...

We'll save that one for '08 after the Dems make their first suggestions about how to reduce the number of miles Americans drive.

No. It is not FOR a party, it is against the Democratic party and portrays the Republicans as the only other option. Every single line has something to do with "liberal democrats." (Whatever those are, I haven't seen any evidence for true 'liberty' coming from any Democrats or Republicans for that matter) That you can construe this as presenting anything but 'DEMOCRATS EVIL' really shows the depth of your allegiance to the Republican ideals, no matter any protests otherwise.
Anyway, this again shows how the Bush administration cannot run a war. If your only option is "endless attack" you become very strategically hamstrung. I've covered that before but it bears repeating.
We can also see how this poster begs the question. It never shows what supposedly we should "stick it out" for. It simply assumes that "stick it out" means something good. But if "stick it out" means "get stuck in Iraq forever" then since we wouldn't want to be stuck somewhere forever we must conclude that this poster is an argument for voting Democrat, not Republican. It is contradictory thus contains no information whatsoever.
So if this is an example of a "good" poster, then you have far, far, far lower standards than I do.
PS
Notice that "stick it out" has two periods after it instead of three. This secret code obviously means "stick it out.. until the oil runs out." *laugh*

So if this is an example of a "good" poster, then you have far, far, far lower standards than I do.Quite possibly; but the top two image panels suggest (to me), #1 Osama is after us, and we (Rs) know best how to fight him, and #2, Iwo Jima rally call to the base, "Stand and Fight".
Its kinda creapy to me, cause I used exactly that language in a mail to various Republicans right after the Foley story broke. Not that they read or were inspired by my message, but simply that we were thinking along the same textual lines.
The bottom panel is of course blatantly against the Democrats. I wouldn't suggest otherwise.
