what a ridiculous ad. If I were alive in 1952, I'd be pretty irritated that none of Stevenson's ads seem to actually tell us where he STANDS on the issues! I don't want some silly jingle. I wanna know his POSITIONS. People really voted like this?? Just buying into ads of their favorite candidate that looked good and voting for them based on party? I'm so glad people are far less party-attached and more Independent nowadays.

He was just another big-gov't Marxist dipshit from the DNC, following in teh footsteps of failure FDR.

Isn't it a little ironic that it says "a man you can believe in", but the ad doesn't tell us what HE believes in?
