I had the misfortune of viewing a political commercial early this morning which nearly made me vomit.

Was an attack against -- of all people -- Dubya.
Used smears frightfully familiar to those the Sink Emporer's campaign employed against George Sr, way back when in the early 90s.

Bottome line, this smear listed more bulleted doom & gloom accusations -- all economic in nature & all supposedly the fault of this POTUS -- than I thought possible for any one person to accumulate in an entire lifetime.
Then this ad piously states, "The Republicans would ask you to turn over a majority in both houses to Jr & his economic policies. Can you afford to do that?"

Interestingly enough, they're attacking a sitting POTUS in an effort to obscure the fact this election's about who'll be elected to the congress & the senate.

My only real question is this.
Just who in the hell "is" the organization responsible for funding this atrocity of an ad filled with lies, distortions & nontruths, anyway?

..."Mainstreet USA" >?<

Another idea on Bumper Stickers...I buy magnetic backing at the local print shop and STICK my bumper stickers on it, cutting it to shape. It then goes on the back of the trunk, can be removed at will with no damage, and is more visible than bumper or window stickers....

Freepers.......time is almost GONE to help Republicans WIN BACK the Senate! We need to contribute money NOW in order to help. I just gave $100 by credit card to the National Republican Senatorial Committe. Please match my challenge, or at least contribute something..

Click here to visit the NRSC to help.

If you prefer to give to individual campaigns, here is a GREAT site with discussion of the Senate races, including the 7 seats that are up for grabs. This site also has a link to each of the Senate campaign websites. One of the states will SURPRISE you!

Take back congress.org Will Daschle keep blocking the Bush judicial nominees? Will the Senate Democrats continue to BLOCK the entire Bush agenda, including making the tax cuts permanent?

It is up to US. If you live in one of the states with the 7 hot Senate races (AR, CO, MN, MO, NJ, NH, SD, WV) VOLUNTEER. Everyone can visit the websites above and DONATE.

Let's win the Senate BACK, Freepers!!

Funny thing, I saw my first political ad this evening. Having a dish in the pineywoods, the only way I can get even east or west coast feeds is if I pay for it.....I don't miss 'em. I was at my folks house for a while this evening(they have cable instead of dish), and I saw no less than half a dozen political ads in the space of about 15 minutes....Ron Kirk doing his best to paint John Cornyn with the Enron brush. It ain't stickin'!

But anyway, my take on the abomination you saw has got to be an effort to discredit "W", hence his party, thereby raising the party of you-know-who. The last gasp of a loser; if you've got nothing to offer as an alternative, you trash the competition. BTW, a ploy generally seen for what it is in business circles, but will likely have some impact on the unwashed, particularly those that who lean Dim, but need something to hang their hat on. An exercise in victimology, no?

My only real question is this.

Wish I could help you my friend, but alas. I would be interested in knowing who the cads are if you're able to find out though...
