These were lifted from some brainstormers on the Kerry forum boards. Simple, effective sound bites about what Scrappy Doo's Presidency has meant to you, the People.
*****************
Scene of a man and a woman in a car. The man is drunk and driving all over the road. They spin out on the road and end up in a ditch with a flat tire. The man changes the tire, and says, "I'll drive safely from now on, just give me the keys back."
Voice: If someone has been driving recklessly down the wrong road, it's time to take the keys away. George Bush's driving record as president should be a felony. Jobs losses, a massive budget deficit, tax cuts for Enron corporate executives, a failed search for WMDs while Al-Qaeda regroups.. It's time for sober leadership. It's time for a change.

[Scene of Bush landing on that aircraft carrier last year with the Mission Accomplished sign in the background] Voice of two people talking:
Man: Did you read in the paper yesterday that the Army is finally turning all their attention to capturing Bin Laden?
Woman: Why didn't Bush do that 3 years ago.
Man: Well last year, he thought the mission was accomplished. I guess he changed his mind. And this way he can capture Bin Laden right before the election. He really will do anything for votes.
Kerry's voice:
Bush thought it was over, then it wasn't, then it was, then it wasn't. If he doesn't even know what is happening, how can he lead us to victory. It's time for new leadership in America. I am John Kerry, [switch to image of Kerry in uniform] as a soldier, I know what it takes to win a war. And I will never risk Americans' security for a few votes. [fade out]
*****************
Scene from that Paris Hilton show A Simple Life. She doesn't know how punch in her time card. The man asks, "Have you ever used one of these?" She replies, "No, I?ve never had a job."
Man: Can you believe it? She gets a massive tax cut and a rebate from Washington
Woman: I know. We both work two jobs and didn't get anything.
Voice: George Bush gave people like Paris Hilton, Ken Lay, and Janet Jackson millions of dollars in tax breaks. Yet people like Wanda, a widowed mother of 2 who works 2 jobs to put food on her table received nothing.
America is going down the wrong road. It's time for new leadership.

****************
Man: Where are you going?
Woman: We are having a bake-sale at the church.
Man: Didn't you have one last week?
Woman: This one is for Carrie's daughter Katie. Tim lost his job last month at the call center, and now they don't have insurance to pay for the chemo.
Man: Imagine that, you pay 15 years for insurance, and when you need it, you cannot get it. I wish there was something we could do.
Voice: For the past 3 years, George Bush has done nothing to help Americans whose jobs have been shipped overseas. Can we afford to continue down this road?
*****************
Scene of a father looking at a foreclosure letter. He is sitting, about to cry. "How am I going to tell the kids," he says.
Woman: Did you hear, the bank is foreclosing on the McCarthys' home?
Man: Yea, Allen lost his job early last year. His company relocated the factory to India.
Woman: And he hasn't been able to find anything.
Man: Well McDonalds was hiring, but how can you pay the bills making minimum wage?
Woman: Image, you go from 42, 000 a year with benefits to 5.75 an hour with no benefits.
Man: And George Bush calls that job growth?
Kerry: In four years under Bush, Americans have lost over three million jobs. Without change, another 3 million could lose their job. It's time to put Americans back to work.

[Scene of Bush with that fake turkey in Iraq on Thanksgiving]
Man: I guess it was nice of Bush to visit our troops in Iraq.
Woman: Yea, but why won't he ever meet with the families who lost their children in Iraq.
Man: He's the president, he has a busy schedule.
Kerry's voice: President Bush took 90 minutes to eat with our troops in Iraq. Yet he's spent XXXX house (400-600) hours eating with fat cat former Enron like leaders who give him money. And he says he supports our troops? Where are his priorities? As president, I'll make sure that money goes to the take care of the widows and fatherless kids of the soldiers who died in Iraq.
******************
Assuming the Iraq war has cost 140 billion. That is 7,000 spent on every person in Iraq.
Thanks to Bush's economic plan, every child in America will have to pay off XXX dollars (don't know the exact figure, somewhere around 20,000). Yet, Bush has spent 7,000 dollars on every Iraqi. And what have they done with that money?
[Fade to scenes of troops being attacked, coffins draped in Flags.]
Kerry: I voted against giving money away to Iraqis. I don't think Americans need to give handouts to an oil rich country when our gas prices are at historical highs.
