People forget. People must not forget.

The best ads that The 'Pubs could have is Hanoi John Eff'n Kerry delivering his diatribe against the American Soldiers of VietNam in the late '60's. Don't have to say a word. Let this Marxist SOB convict himself.

Blessings, Bobo

Bush-Cheney '04 Announces First Television Ads

Click on "Safer, Stronger".

The biggest problem with the images of 9/11 is that they are not seen anywhere near often enough.

Lileks says it all, and says it so well. It is dumbfounding to me that half the country STILL is in the pocket of the Democrat party at this time, after all we have witnessed in the past three years, let alone the past decade. Truly, the stupidity of man knows no bounds.

Lileks connects... It is high... It is far... It is GONE!

Wait until the ad comes out saying "The war with the Mid-East terrorists did not begin on Sept 11 (showing damage at the Pentagon), it was already under way when WTC was bombed the first time (film), when the the Cole was bombed (film), when our peacekeeping troops in Somalia were slaughtered, when our embassies in Africa were attacked (film). My opposition's denial of that war and their weak and self-defeating efforts to deal with it led to September 11 (film of people jumping out of the WTC windows). Do we wish to return to the cowardly approach of my opposition, where many of our citizens have to choose between death by fire or death by destructionof the streets of our cities?

Do we wish to return to the cowardly approach of my opposition, where many of our citizens have to choose between the twin horrors of death by fire or death by destruction on the streets of our cities?"

Take a look here at ad #3. He's done an outstanding job of doing just that.

If you know of an organization that would be willing to buy local cable airtime for this ad, send FReepmail to jmstein7 and let him know about them.

Thanks for the link. I went to the site and watched "Safer, Stronger" three times and never could see a body being removed. I even paused the clip and still couldn't catch it.

What am I doing wrong?

The democrats are reverting to the old lawyer trick of attacking your opponent's case when you don't have a case of your own.

The one and only thing motivating the democrats is their rabid hatred for President Bush.

The problem is that is they cannot tell you why they hate President Bush.

This tells me that they are a mob of mindless robots, ripe to be led to the slaughter by their leaders and their leaders are more than happy to do that.

To illustrate: The leaders of the democrat party are millionaires many times over while the average democrat voter is on welfare, food stamps and any other government program.

Anyway, back to the democrats hatred of President Bush.
Every time since George Bush was running for President until this very minute someone says to me, "I cannot stand Bush", "I hate Bush." I always ask, "Why?" To this day I have never received an answer. I get the latest democrat slogan, but never an intelligent answer.

The firemen are carrying out a body on a flag-draped gurney in what I saw. Just for a split second.

Be it resolved, that the US should renounce the doctrine of preemptive war and promote the rebuilding of the international community through the United Nations to track down and incapacitate international, terrorist organizations, and to intervene to stop genocides, tyrannical regimes, and international armed conflicts through diplomacy, the promotion of democracy, focused and forceful nonviolent intervention, and peaceful conflict resolution.

"forceful nonviolent intervention" . . . there's an oxymoron for you . . .

[Gritty]

The Republicans should simply ignore the catterwalling of Democrats and get on with their election ads.

Why should the Democrats and their media suck-ups get to set the Republican campaign ads and what they can discuss? They have already for all practical purposes silenced the rest of us for two months before the election under the Campaign Finance Reform Act!

[reformed_democrat]

I'll go have another look. Thanks.

[reformed_democrat]

I finally saw it. If I hadn't known what to look for, though, I never would have seen it.

I don't understand how the dems can play this up -- its not as though that scene is the central part of the ad. If it was cut, it would never be missed.

Mountains, molehills, same-same to a dem.

Typical Dims. They're focusing on, what... 1-2 seconds of an ad?

Have a good weekend.
