A radio ad that calls Sen. Paul Wellstone "money-grubbing" because he opposes repeal of the estate tax is being called a vicious lie by the Wellstone campaign.

The 60-second spot, sponsored by Americans for Job Security, started airing Monday on WCCO-AM and radio stations in rural Minnesota. Michael Dubke, president of the Virginia-based group, said it would run through the middle of next week.

This link is to a very interesting article which states that the estate tax 'repeal' actually includes changes in tax treatments which can result in increased taxes for heirs. www.thestreet.com/funds/beverlygoodman/10028131.html

The Rat version of the Death Tax reform let you skip the tax IF you run the farm for the next 10 years. What if two brothers are the heirs and one of them wants to farm, the other doesn`t. Normally the farmer would buy his bro out and everybodys happy. Under the Rat version, if they did that, they have to pay the tax[55%]

This is great! Democrats always cry unfair when the public is being exposed to their insidious ways. All Republicans need to take a lesson from this. Expose the truth about the dems and watch them lose the elections.

The Wellstone campaign has just caused the fact he voted to keep the death tax to have a lot more publicity than just the radio ad.

This is going to be a down and dirty campaign. All the GOP needs is 2-3 wins and Pat Leahy can go pound sand. And the Democrats know it so they will be pulling out all the stops.

As an aside freepers should give serious thought to being election judges.

Not that I'm accusing the democrats of election fraud, we all know they would NEVER do anything like that. < /sarcasm>

Who gives a damn? Let's get back to the fisticuffs of old. Ta Hell with the lies and rhetoric.

If a man who wants a public position cannot tell the truth to his constituents, then let's throw out the laws that say anybody who wants to steal our..the monies of the public, regardless of city, county, or state, CANNOT BE BEATEN IN PUBLIC FOR LYING TO THE PUBLIC, to which he purports to represent....

Kick his lying ass like the sick dog that he or she is, dammit. Anybody can lie and steal and cheat in the name of the people these days...

Thank you so f**king bloody much, Bill Clinton,....... thank you so Bloody F**king Much....

I have an ad idea. Show a little guy get out of a green bus enter a hospital and take money from a baby. Then show him take money from a middle aged person. Then in the end show the bus pull up to a grave yard. From birth to death this man want's your money.

This stuff brings joy to my heart!
I have been begging the Republicans for years to fight the scumocrats the way the scumocrats have always fought. All this "we-don't-want-to-lower-ourselves-to-the-scumocrats'-level" stuff always made me sick. I say go down, way down to the bottom of the sewer and fight the scumocrats where they live.

I want to see a Republican ad which shows a partial-birth abortion and asks, "Why do Democrats vote to support the murder of babies who are all born except for the tops of their heads?"

I want to see a Republican ad which asks, "Why do Democrats want homosexual 'fisting' classes for third-grade elementary schoolers?"

I want to see a Republican ad which features video of the Democrats whooping for joy when speaker Tom Foley announced that the House had passed the largest tax increase in history in 1993, and asks, "Why do Democrats whoop for joy every time they pass their latest version of the largest tax increase in history?"

A bit over the top, or maybe what would be more fun and truthful for the future representatives of this country??
