Clint Eastwood Super Bowl Ad

Quote from Lucrum:

Is it just me or is this a little contradictory?

Just you.

[Oh, you're right. I should have said "if they are".]

No matter what side of the fence a conservative walks, Ricter will walk on the other. No thinking is involved in his decision.

I could say the same of you. If the news is bad it's Obama's fault, and if the news is good then he had nothing to do with it.

Huh?

Whoo Hoo I'm right about something! I know because Ricter said so.

My day is made.

This ad was filmed in New Orleans! Maybe Clint refused to go to Detroit?

Quote from AAAintheBeltway:

The point is that they have a series of ads trying to implant the notion that Detroit is a tough town, so their cars are tough too. My reaction is the ads are edgy and have some style to them, but to me, Detroit has far more negative than positive connotations.

The ads are not aimed at rational analysis but at emotion, so that was the way I addressed them. Get it now?

Fair enough. They should emphasize not their toughness, but their speed, so potential buyers can imagine themselves getting the hell out of there. : )

lol, I think they should also include a "Premium" package that includes a fully armored car with run flat tires.

I'm actually only half kidding about that. Sales of armored vehicles have been on an uptick for years now, I figure it's only a matter of time before the high end manufacturers build them that way at the factory for a hefty profit margin.

Yeah, but if Bush had saved Chrysler, you'd be saluting and waving a flag.

Just watched a review of the ad on TV. Republican strategist saw the ad as positive for America, especially Rep's. Due to Eastwood being a Conservative or libertarian. He said it was sort of like a Rorschach Test, to be interpreted by the observer.

Less then half of auto manufacturing jobs are in Michigan.

The biggest lie out there is that Obama saved the auto industry.
There are hundreds of thousands of auto manufacturing jobs that would still be there if GM and Chrysler went out of business.

The Republicans only wanted GM to go through a normal bankruptcy. GM would have still been in business.
