WASHINGTON, Sept. 12 /U.S. Newswire/ -- A new TV ad attacks Republican attempts to use the fifth anniversary of 9/11 to resuscitate the President's popularity and help Republicans hang on to control of Congress.

MoveOn.org Political Action's thirty second spot is planned to begin airing nationwide on cable this week. The ad buy is $100,000.

The ad, "Exploiting 9/11," reminds Americans of the now discredited claims and promises made by the President and Republican leaders in Congress about the connection between 9/11 and Sadaam Hussein; the capture of Osama bin Laden; and making the country safer by invading Iraq.

1. And the MSM won't take the money to air this ad because...

It's too controversial or too partisan. Just a feeling. I hope that I'm wrong.

Anybody up for a tea party or a revolution?

5. Backbackbackback--gone!

Home run!

2. and what will that buy the Democrats?

It won't buy them anything

An ad showing no connection between Hussein and al queada, based on the bi-partisan Senate committe would be effective

An ad showing that 9/11 had no connection to Iraq

An ad showing that this administration wants to privitize social security

An ad showing how jobs are being offshored

An ad showing how there are over 40 million people in our country that do not have medical insurance

An ad showing the lack of an energy policy by this administration

An ad which shows that this administration is against embroyonic stem cell research

So what if they are Politicizing 9/11, we can do the same thing by emphasizing that bin laden was left to escape at tora bora, or the countless warnings including the August 2001 memo that bin laden was planing to attack us

We have to stop thinking from a defensive position. For example, it was a brillant choice to have Casey run against Santorum

By choosing Casey the abortion issue is no longer on the table. Santorum cannot use it to polarize the voters. He has to stand on is dismal social record.

Nothing matters if we don't win, and if we debate side issues, and distractions then we fall into the trap that will hurt us

What Clinton said is more true today than ever, they win by using issues to divide people, we will win if we use issues to unite people

6. I don't know about the rest of you...

but I'm grateful that Laura Bush's husband and Moveon.org are politicizing 9/11. After all, post 9/11 fear is the cornerstone of Laura Bush's husband's politics and deserves to be fearlessly and thoroughly destroyed.
