...so the penalty for a 'pub using an "attack ad" is for the 'rats to "rebuke" with an ad attack in return. I guess so, but honestly, who cares? The dems are going to attack anyways whether they are "justified" or not since they get to set the ground rules. The truth doesn't matter to them, especially if it paints them guilty of something. They'll just whine about the republicans being mean and muddy the waters to conceal the truth.

They always try to do that when they're on the receiving end; but never when they're on the transmitting end. Then they say "Hey! Politics is a Rough-n-Tumble affair. If you can't take it you shouldn't be in Politics."Sounds like Hamas and the Palis, demanding a ceasefire because the Israelis are kicking their butts all over Gaza. Losing hurts.

Dukakis!? thats rich. Anyone who has heard him speak at a dinner has heard how partisan and attacking he can be.
This is very "Jimmy Carter" of him.

As this is in Mass, the only negative ads they are looking to thwart are those against the incumbent. The negative ad is critical to the challenger attempting to kill off an incumbent.
Clearest indication of incumbency protection I've seen since McFeiGold.

Mommy! Those nasty Wepubwickans are picking on me! Make 'em stop it, Mommy! Tell the Boston Globe to make 'em stop it! Republican Governor Ed King (who deposed Dukakis after his first term as Governor) won a liable action against the Boston Globe showing they had acted with "actual malice" in printing untruths about him during his rematch with Dukasis, a rematch which the little twerp won. Nothing negative there, no sir, just rock solid journalism in the vaunted traditions of Mary Mapes.

But, please tell me that your pic of Kerry is reversed. He wouldn't dare salute with his left hand, or would he?

The DUmmie strategy is to be against everything... and to offer nothing serious. And now they are cutting off the one area of political discorse they have. If a Donk can't say something negative, he can't say anything at all.
What are they going to do, come out foursquare for blue skies and fluffy bunnies? They got nothing to say.

....In other news, wheel chair bound quadraplegics all walked home from the John Edwards for President campaign stop in a socially decrepit neighborhood of Detroit where woman, infant and children have been most effected by the Republican "Big Oil" tax policies of the now much warmer world of the 2000's..

Cameron Kerry was arrested after breaking into one of his idiot brother's opponent's campaign office with the intent of wiretapping the phones. But it did not happen at the Watergate Hotel, so the MSM can be forgiven for not seeing that this was "Another Watergate"...

Democrats seek to curb attack ads... They could begin by stopping their use of them. But the sad thing is, they work, so both parties will never completely drop them from their play book.
It seems more likely that they're interested in devising some method to silence the American people in general, such as the Swift boat veterans. The dems do not really believe in free speech.

Sounds like Watergate to me. But wait, this about democrats, so it was just an innocent misunderstanding.
