The Newest BushCo attack ad...
I happened to catch the new Bush re-election attack ad on John Kerry supposedly not supportig National Defense and not supporting our troops with proper body armor. Didn't they say the same thing in the last one? Get some new material guys.
I have just a few questions for the attack dogs, and to the people that believe these misleading ads.
Did John Kerry vote no on certain National Defense items in the past, sure he did, but what good is a gazillion dollar stealth plane, or nuclear ballistic missile sub going to do against against an enemy that can make a bomb out of a cell phone, some duct tape and C4...? What will those do to stop our troops from getting blown up on the side of the road on a daily basis?. We are fighting a new enemy here, we are fighting an enemy that uses donkey carts as missile launchers for Pete's sake, I don't think a billion dollar stealth bomber would be very effective in that situation, it might scare the donkey, but I don't think it would do anymore than that. Intimidating, yes, effective, no. Besides, don't we have enough stealth bomerbers already? Let's face it, the cold war is over. Why should we spend bazillions of dollars on a missile defense shield that didn't work the first place? Let's put that money back into this country instead of defense contractors pockets.
And another thing, I'm sick to death with them saying John Kerry doesn't support the troops because he didn't vote for body armor, which first of all, is one big lie. Second, what kind of President and his administration would send troops to fight a guerilla war without proper protection in the first place?

1. The one who didn't support our troops with body armor is Bush.
Nice of him to lay it off on Kerry. But the CIC is the one who sent them naked to Iraq.

3. Bravo...Kerry People...Listen Up!!!
Yep...how good were Patriot missles on 9/11? Or a star wars defense system (that this regime felt far more important prior to 9/11 than what their PDAs were saying)? These did precious little to prevent 3,000 Americans from perishing and it didn't make any difference in the Iraq invasion for that matter.

The Kerry people have to get out and show how misleading these ads and the scam of distorting votes to mean things they don't. Let's bring out Chenney's voting record (believe it or not Alan "Poopie" Combs was actually bashing Gnewt the Evil Lizzard with it tonight).

And of all people, Chenney, who downscaled the military after the Gulf Oil War to privitize it for his own wealth. It's time to answer the screaming lie, with the even louder truth and the GOOP hypocrisy.

4. Thanks for
the link to fact-check...I have used it many times...but the problem is...is that the righties don't even want to believe that...they say it's just another liberal rhetoric site...

We have to do something about these commercials...write the editors of your local newspapers, write to local and national news agenicies, write to the networks that air these lies and keep doing it until they listen...

We need to show that these bullshit lies are exactly what they are...lies...
