I think being all of three feet tall probably did more damage to Dukakis than Lee Atwater.
Doesn't help that most Americans still thought of him as a "ferner".

Atwater also destroyed Democrats indicating Democrats were soft on crime and on defense.

Is this pro-dukakis or anti-dukakis? I can't tell.

What strikes me so much about this ad is how substantive it is compared to the television ads, from both parties, that we see today. If you ran an ad talking about all the weapons systems and defense spending that Barack has opposed and bad-mouthed, people would be like "Huh?" "What?"
But one thing is still shocking and blunt enough for people to pick up on, and it still goes right to the gut, even for those who support abortion: Infanticide.

Dukakis was a fucking liberal pussy in the extreme. This ad just tells the truth. What's so bad about that?
He was a pussy.

Dukakis was an idiot to be seen in that tank. It was a visual gaffe on his part.

Here's the funny thing: Dukakis no doubt did this so he could run a commercial about how 'tough' he was. Well, a commercial got run - and his folks are whining 20 years later about him getting popped by it.

HAR HAR HAR! Dukakis on that tank with the helmet. . . he looks like that alien guy voiced by Harvey Korman or something. Hilarious!

I don't agree. I think the Daisy ad has this one beat by a long shot. Next ad would be a Bush 88 had, but it has to be the revolving door ad or the Horton ad.

He questioned the mission in Grenada? So do I! It was stupid and pointless. Who cares if some small Caribbean nation goes commie? It doesn't affect us. I highly doubt the Soviets gave 2 shits. It was a waste of time. The strike on Libya was absurd. I mean, there are rumors that it wasn't even Libyan terrorists who bombed the disco but Mossad in a false-flag op. And just b/c a few Americans were killed doesn't mean we have to get all pissy and bomb the country, killing Qaddafi's daughter.
I mean, what good ... ( 3 weeks ago by Whoo69)
I mean, what good came from the bombing? Libya was hardly ever a threat to us. Qaddafi was merely a thorn in our side for some years but not for long. Then he became just an anti-American douchebag who looks more Italian/European than Middle Eastern.
The funniest part ... ( 2 weeks ago by burgundyyears)
The funniest part of this ad was that the Bush campaign used the Dukakis campaign's own footage to discredit him.

Haha! Thank God he taped his name on the helmet, otherwise no Democrat voters would know who the idiot was!
