And they that unlike most Europe worshiping liberals the average American will look at that and think election day not Guy Fawkes.
Again, looking back it seems a bit of a stretch to strongly associate the ad with the Gunpowder Plot, but there are superficial reasons to do so. The main reason I'm less inclined to see it that way is because I think it would be counterproductive and the RGA knows it, but being UNABLE to see a connection seems less about not worshipping Europe than lacking any awareness of things outside the US. We're not the whole world, much as reminders of that bothers a lot of Republicans.

I don't see any reference to Guy Fawkes. Like, none at all.

The title does rather remind one of those "Remember, remember the fifth of November" lines...

Agree. Seems to me the November is all about the election date, what with the tick and all.

Is expecting anyone who'd watch the ad to know the elections are in November expecting too much?

That's a pretty big stretch.

Probably coincidence of dates, the sinister tone and predisposition to cry foul is to blam

Hmm... a four hundred year old event from another country, yes that had to be the reference

And the 5th is never actually mentioned. Just "Remember November". *NM*

Yeah, looking back I'm forced to admit you're almost certainly right.

Thanks, but weirdly my research on it now makes me think nov 5 would be a good day

True, but to (belatedly) be fair, I don't think that's REALLY the RGAs intent here.

Europe is doing some things better than us, and has for some time.
