MoveOn.Com (Ohio Adverts financed by MoveOn.com)
http://www.wtol.com/Global/story.asp?S=1550713

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) _ A television ad sponsored by a liberal activist group accusing President Bush of neglecting the education and health of children to finance the war in Iraq began airing in Ohio and four other states on Thursday.

The 30-second spot by MoveOn.org will run through Dec. 17 on cable television stations in Columbus, Cleveland, Dayton and Toledo, the group said.

Wes Boyd, MoveOn.com founder, said the ad is intended to educate voters in the presidential battleground states of Ohio, Florida, Missouri, Nevada and West Virginia about Bush's misplaced priorities. "Our members feel strongly that the president's failed leadership is costing Americans not only in misspent dollars but in opportunities lost, opportunities to aggressively address national problems," Boyd said.

Bush campaign spokesman Kevin Madden pointed out the $87 billion appropriation for Iraq and Afghanistan passed with bipartisan support in Congress. Madden said the group and its advertising campaign "stand in stark contrast to what our campaign is about. They're entirely focused on pessimism, protests and attacking. Our campaign is dedicated to continuing the focus on the president's record of positive leadership. Voters want to hear about solutions to everyday problems they face."

Awwww. Pooor Wepubwicans. Dat Nasty Mr. Soros giving Democwats money.

I guess they think if Dems don't roll over and die, we're "pessimistic" terrorist supporters.

2. Bravo!
The ad running in Cincinnati looks great. I was so happy to hear even a mild voice of dissent -- Cincinnati is a dismal place for a Progressive.

4. Heh....
I sent MoveOn $ to help pay for these ads. Now THAT is grassroots organizing and representative government. I hope some jelly-spines in DC are paying attention.

Poor Witto WePubwicans - Democrats aren't playing doormat this year and they're all holding their breath and kicking and screaming cause we found some MoveOn moxy - aawwww. Now, if Bev Harris et al can just expose those plutocratic junk voting machine makers enough to curtail their use in 2004...we might have something remotely resembling an election.

;)
