Nope: Bush is now on record as asking for a stoppage -- a second time. He's also asking for a stoppage accross the board, which (a) is only fair; and (b) avoids the accusation of "coordination."

Meanwhile, Kerry hasn't called for such a stoppage himself, here; and the ads will continue anyway. The President (as usual) is on the high road.

Yeah, Bush has been on record as an enemy of the First Amendment for a long time. I guess this is no surprise. Which candidate will defend my free speech rights? Neither apparently. I guess we are down to the particulars. Kerry wants to start banning politcal books and Bush hasn't made that suggestion yet. WooHoo! A few crumbs of freedom might remain if Bush is elected. I am just going to vote on other issues and hope that some future President -- or court or whomever -- restores the First Amendment in its totality.
