I was just reading a post on Jen’s blog and I don’t agree with a lot of what she has to say, mostly because she is one of those crazy right wing republicans (if you read this, you know I don’t hold it against you) and I am pretty much as far left as you can on the liberal scale.

Her post does bring up a good point though. You see crap tons of advertising for shows for the fall TV season and you’ll see a bunch more once the election is over and they start to push spring TV. Why don’t the campaigns put out some really good ads?

I have some ideas guys. Trust me America can’t handle these which would make them great.

One day in 1767, when the young warrior left his village to find wood to make a drum, he was attacked by four men who surrounded him and took him captive. Kunta awakens to find himself blindfolded, gagged, bound and prisoner of the white men. Haley describes how they humiliate the young warrior by stripping him naked, probing him in every orifice, and branding him with a hot iron. He and others are put on a slave ship for a nightmarish three month journey to America.

  • Sara Palin in a bikini in a beer commercial. This one is great because it could air during Sunday football and would score really well with me.
  • How about John McCain in a robe wondering around a house looking for his slippers?
These commercials would help to get young people to start talking about and maybe even giving a shit about where this country is going to go in the next four years.

When I saw Joe Biden become visibly chocked up when offering his rebuttal to the idea that as a man he could not understand what it was like to wonder if your child would recover from a life threatening situation I saw something you don’t see everyday from politicians. I saw real, true emotion. I was not sure what caused Joe Biden to choke up so I ran to Wikipedia and found this.

Biden’s wife and year-old daughter were killed in an automobile accident while Christmas shopping inHockessin, Delaware on December 18, 1972.[2]

Thinking back to this is what I think caused him to become choked up. I think he did more to bring both men and women to his side by showing real paternal love for a child. A man showing real true love for a child isn’t something you see every day in America. As Americans we sometimes fall back into the 1950s mind set of “Man go to work; Make money; Provide for family, Women stay home; Care for children”.

As a new father I know the love I feel for my daughter and while I may not agree with Joe Biden on his stance about somethings, mainly net neutrality, his pro-RIAA stance and Internet taxes, I do sincerely appreciate his openness and seemingly transparent display of a strong man showing love for his family.
