NY Senate candidate calls for Springsteen boycott 8/16/2004, 2:18 p.m. ET By MARC HUMBERT The Associated Press
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Upset with Bruce Springsteen's effort to bounce President Bush from the White House, the New York Conservative Party's candidate for U.S. Senate is launching a "Boycott the Boss" television ad.
"He thinks making millions with a song-and-dance routine allows him to tell you how to vote," Marilyn O'Grady says in the 30-second spot. "Here's my vote: Boycott the Boss. If you don't buy his politics, don't buy his music."
"I stand with President Bush and it's time to tame the liberal elite," O'Grady adds.
Aides to O'Grady, a Long Island ophthalmologist seeking to unseat Democratic incumbent Charles Schumer, said the ad would begin airing Tuesday on Fox Television's Albany station and would likely appear on other Fox stations and cable channels around the state in coming days.

Hey--I quit a long time ago, when Bruce called for Bush to be impeached for lying about why we went into Iraq.
Amazing. A political candidate with enough spine to stand up to the Leftist celebrity! Will miracles never cease?
Hell, if I was in New York, she'd have my vote. She's showed more backbone than a lot of other politicians at the forefront these days...
Does my boycott count? I never liked him anyway and don't own anything by him...
Who is the Republican candidate? And why is the Conservative Party not cross-endorsing the Republican (usually necessary for any Republican to win state-wide office in New York)?
Boycotting brucey is fine. I'd prefer if this candidate slammed Chuckie do nothing schumer and his extremist liberal votes and speeches and proposals.
Perfect time to repost this gem.

Don't boycott them and talk about it; that just gives these turkeys publicity. Just ignore them, then go about your business informing family, friends and co-workers about President Bush's great record and sterling character!
Just who named this clown The Boss? And he still thinks he has political power? Just wait, Bruce.

Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry (news - web sites) pauses as he speaks during a rally in Medford, Oregon. Kerry assailed Bush's economic record contrasting it unfavorably to the boom that occurred in the 1990s under former president Bill Clinton (news - web sites) which he credited to the Democrat's policies(AFP/Getty Images/Justin Sullivan)
Democratic presidential nominee Senator John Kerry (news - web sites) (D-MA) waves with his wife Teresa at the end of a campaign rally in Portland, Oregon, August 13, 2004. When it comes to American presidential elections, blue blood counts. So say British researchers who predict Kerry will oust President Bush (news - web sites) on Nov. 2 simply because he boasts more royal connections than his Republican rival.

I'm in the same boat.
AMEN!!!
OR talent!
I like the Kerry theme song he`s singing "No Surrender"... Is that an attempt by Bruce to hide Kerrys French DNA?
Did anyone catch this E! Online version? This part caught my eye:
(The spot makes no mention of O'Grady's views on illegally downloading Springsteen's music for free.)
Miss Hall, the article's author manages to throw in this little thorn. Like only Republican's would be downloading, and illegally at that, not the pure, wholesome Demo-rat fans. Riiiiight.
Much of what used to be news is now leftie editorializing.
