This defies my believeability meter. Guess some Dems have some guilty conscience since what the ad says is not the same as they are saying. Guess the DNC ad of Bush pushing a lady in a wheelchair down is okay though because it is a RAT ad!

[jwalsh07]

We're bright, we're RIGHT and we're in your face!

New conservative response to lefty whining. :-}

[tkathy]

Can hardly wait for more "dragging death" type commercials.

[Peach]

Love the title to this. They "insist"; like they have the power to insist on anything.

[Kay Soze]

If Demoncrats hast it then it must be a higly effective and truthful ad.

Double its airing!

RNC to Run Ads Around Democratic Presidential Debates

Washington, DC-The Republican National Committee today announced it will begin running television ads in Iowa on Sunday, November 23.

"After 10 months, Democrats running for President have coalesced around policies that are wrong for America. They unanimously oppose the President's policy of pre-emptive self-defense. They unanimously support massive tax increases. The RNC will continue to highlight the differences between the two parties on policy after policy that will provide the American people a clear choice in the next election," said Ed Gillespie, Chairman of the Republican National Committee.

..."It's wrong. It's erroneous, and I think that they ought to pull the ad"...

FLASHBACK: Election 2000, James Byrd, Texas truck dragging death blamed on Gov. Bush for not signing "hate crimes" bill in TV ad paid for by the ACLU/DNC.

Tommy and the RATS were silent in 2000 and the ad played in 8 critical states. Ef 'em.

[FairOpinion]

It really bothers them -- they seem to be whining in a chorus about it.

As you point out, they didn't speak up about an ad being inappropriate, when they were showing Bush shove the little old lady in a wheelchair off a cliff.

Here Democrats aren't even being mentioned -- the fact that they feel attacked is an admission on their part.

[Brilliant]

The Democrats have made Bush's wartime record an issue. They can't have it both ways.

[At _War_With_Liberals]

They have got some ba#$%! (sorry, I am watching The Sopranos!)

Bush is a hero who has destroyed AQ's leadership and their base, preventing another attack on US soil at the very least. Clinton screwed us over for 8 years.


They attack Bush with lies relentlessly in wartime after 1000's of Americans die in the past decade, and now go ballistic at the FIRST counter-criticism.

This is a war for the future of the US on so many levels it boggles the mind. Republicans should not respond to this, and should ratchet up the attacks.

By letting the Dims get away with their sedition, lies and hate mongering, we already have an unbalanced playing field when it comes to acceptable political methods. We need to shut the Dims up with an all out offensive. Now.

[okie01]

Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy called it an "attempt to stifle dissent." On ABC's "This Week," Kennedy said "dissent is a basic part of what our whole society is about."

Teddy is evidently unable to distinguish between "dissent" and "sedition".

[Pukin Dog]

"You sir,..... have the power to demand......nothing.

[plain talk]

RNC should run a follow-up ad. "Now the democrats are attacking the Republicans for pointing out that the democrats are attacking the President for attacking the terrorists. Politics as usual for the democrats. Support the President ... "

[tiki]

Guess the truth is inflicting some damage on the lying dims.

[Defender2]

NOTE TO DEMOCOMMIECRATS: DO NOT PASS GO, GO STRAIGHT TO H*LL IN A HANDBASKET, THIS AD IS NOT GOING TO BE PULLED, SO GO CRY IN YOU'RE BEER SOMEWHERE ELSE, PREFERABLY, FRANCE, GERMANY, RUSSIA, CHINA, SYRIA, IRAN AND OR NORTH KOREA, YOU SORRY BUNCH OF AIDERS, ABETTERS, CO-CONSPIRATORS AND COMFORT GIVERS TO OUR ENEMIES!!!!


Note to PhiKaMOM: I just wanted to tell the LEFT what I truly think of them, my post is no way directed at you,
Very Best Regards to you and thank you for posting this article, Defender2 D2

[jmstein7]

Gee, I guess the Dems really don't like the fist amendment after all!

So, basically, they are saying that they are for all speech except for that which they don't like.

Dissent should never be stifled unless it is dissent from the DNC Talking Points.

On the issue of questioning patriotism: I guess Kerry and Clark must have voted for Dole... I mean, Dole was a soldier who gave parts of his body for his country, and Clinton was a draft dodger... so that means that Kerry MUST have voted for Dole, right?

/sarcasm

[sauropod]

'Rats can't stand the criticism. Bare-knuckled advertising is what our side needs and has not done for too long!

[Eala]

The Republican National Committee has no plans to honor Daschle's wishes.

Who'd a thunk it?! The RNC has a bit of spine after all! Keep it up and I'll soon be contributing...

[Grampa Dave]

Their focus groups must have shown a very postive reaction for GW when people were shown those commercials and a very negative one for the Traitor side, er Rat side.

Democrats Insist Republicans Pull Bush Ad

Or else what?

demanding that Republicans stop showing their first television ad of the 2004 presidential race, which he called "repulsive and outrageous." The 30-second ad, which aired in Iowa over the weekend,...

What part of it is not true?
What exactly is "outrageous"?
As for "repulsive", I agree. Not the ad, the subject matter.
Are the cockroaches' eyes hurting from all the light?
Poor babies!

[Slip18]

Why didn't the AP capitalize "President" when they were speaking of President Bush? Just curious.
