Advice to a politician on using a 30-second TV spot can do wonders for his campaign. It can change minds and influence Americans to vote for him.

Use TV 

In a way 

That favors

Your candidacy

- – -

Saying 

What you want

To say

But always giving 

The impression

That’s true

- – -

The TV spot

Will be fine

In political ads

- – -

Select

A 30-second ad

That paints

Your opponent’s

Reality

As unreal

- – -

Use this ad 

On hot button topics

Like religion

Gay rights, abortion

Gun control

And immigration

- – -

Appear to be tough

But not pander 

Be the populist

In the race

- – -

Dominate

The battle with words

And you’re

Half way there

- – -

Realize

That it’s not only words

But images

- – -

Defend

Americans

Wave the flag

Kiss babies

And raise them

In the air

For all to see 

- – -

“It’s the economy dummy”

Goes today’s saying

Focus on our country’s deficit

Social security

Medicare, medicaid

And health care

- – -

When it comes

To the military

Be tough

And proclaim

It’s the best

In the world

- – -

Remember

It’s what you sell

To the public 

That will matter most

    Great advice for politicians. Just think, you only have to listen for 30 seconds and if you don’t like them you can turn them off.

    Betterment of economy when people watch the ads, and betterment of the people when the leaders approve all the benefits, sad to say, you’re a person who don’t like the ads. Hoping that you’re ads be heard by them.
