Come on Dan, you know the RATS were/are set to use 9/11 heavily in ads this year. The pubs use of the tragic attack might sidetrack million$ of $$$$ in ads, but don't bet on it.

The RATS will badmouth every Bush ad. They can't let a positive message about the truth go on TV, so what's left? Kerry ads promoting UN's taking over our foreign policy, army, navy, airforce, marines, coast guard, national guard, and anyone else capable of pointing a gun and pulling the trigger. Kerry ads promoting the benefits of higher taxes, socialized everything. I'd like to see Teraysa give up her $700 mill and try living the life her botoxboy thinks is so great. The RAT libs think socialism will be the promised land because the great unwashed (us), will reside in the gutter, while they're living the high life, as they deserve to since they're so much smarter than flyover country. Kerry's going to try and steal this election, just like Gore did. It's his only chance. They'll target some key states and get to work registering Mexican illegals or dead people or God knows what.

I turned Matthews on when you mentioned that. The liberal woman is amusing me. She "honestly can't remember" who she voted for in 2000 - ! - and is using all sorts of DNC talking points ("it happened on President Bush's watch."). Also, she is trying to shoehorn in the 9/11 Commission stuff in, which has nothing to do with the ad. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but Matthews struck me as not buying it.

Pretty pathetic. IMHO, she did way more harm for her point than good.

Why don't the 'Rats just make their own 9/11 commercial? It couldn't have happened without them!

Good one! :)

I had to jump up and change the channel. God help me, there was Rather, ranting about 'the evils of Bush's ad'. I yelled a few choice epithets, while fumbling for the remote and finally finding Brit on Fox. Almost came to violence there. Imagine what my life was before our cable co. decided to carry Fox! I would have gone mad without Freerepublic!

No Chris didn't buy into it .. that why he asked who she voted for

Did you notice that the women who lost her husband didn't have a problem with Kerry mentioning 9/11 in his ads

Now Chris is SLAMMING this Moveon.org guy *L*

Excellent! As I am sure you know, very often the media invites people THEY want on the shows, and the media like to invite Republicans who are not so eloquent.

We need to encourage those who stand up for the President, and we also need to get Frist to keep the namby-pamby senators off the shows. Get them fundraising engagements in East Keokuk or something.

...the next ad will feature people jumping out of the WTC buildings...

Excellent idea.

...while John Kerry is superimposed split-screen, speaking from the Senate against the death penalty for terrorists.

Or, better still, John Kerry saying that the "terrorist threat was exaggerated".

Did that guy from moveon.org just endorse Kerry??

Because I don't think 527's can endorse any one candidate

Dan Rather? Is this the same popular TeeVee personality from the last century?

I thought he was dead.

The left is disgusting. I think it is best to just ignore them. They would have a hissi fit just the same if the president wouldn't mention 9/11 and accuse him of ignoring the tragic day
