Which state are you from? Some states are getting the full treatment and some are not. In WA we are getting hit with the Bush ads and were getting Move-on ads, but I haven't seen the move-on ads recently.

Personally, I'm happy to see Bush dropping all this money so early in the campaign. They are not convincing any democrats of anything. And the Move-on/Kerry ads will not convince the Republicans of anything.

A better counter move to this attempts at painting Kerry as a "tax and spend liberal", would be to show the deficient and how huge it has grown under Bush. Show the proposed Medicare plan and then show the actual figures. Show the graph that proves what will happen to social security in 10 years if the Bush Tax cuts remain in place.

Then show that by rolling back the tax cuts on those who make 200,000 or more, will help to reduce the deficit by 50% and protect social security.

The fiscal conservatives of the Republicans and Independents need to be shown that the Democrats are in fact the new 'fiscal conservatives' and the Republicans under Bush have become the 'borrow and spend Republicans." That is the stuff that the John McCain supporting group of voters hate about Bush and that is what we need to show.
