[Shoedogg]

1. Please keep us filled in!

You know, for us cube-people... :)

[MI Cherie]

5. Showing all three ads ...

... tasteless & shameless exploitation. Are some of these people seeing the same thing? How can anyone not be offended?

Apologists are calling in on all the lines. Spin ... spin ... spin ... I'm getting dizzy! Blaming Clinton — trashing Kerry.

Best comment: "Clever & deceitful."

8. here is the text of the mail I sent

sub: About President Bush's ads

Body:

I've watched the campaign ads this morning and something bothers me. Has anyone noticed that the tone of the ads is "I will lead America... I have a plan... I know where I want to take the country... i know what we need to do..."

Is this not the mark of a massive ego running amok? President Bush is supposed to serve the American people and ensure the country goes in the direction they choose. As for using the WTC and 9-11 in his ads, can anyone honestly say they didn't expect him to exploit those images and the emotion generated by them to further his agenda? Perhaps the saddest byproduct of the ad is that a large percentage of Americans still believe that Saddam Hussein had a hand in those events and accept the war we've begun based on this false information.

As for the callers complaining that Democrats don't support the troops, I'd like to remind them that it is not the Democrats who contracted Kellog Brown and Root to feed our soldiers in the field with questionable food in dirty kitchens at a ridiculous expense. Nor are the Democrats the ones who leave American soldiers in harms way in Baghdad. Democrats didn't cancel veterans benefits. Democrats haven't mangled the domestic economy to which our soldiers will return. Democrats haven't eradicated our reputation in the greater world.

I am looking forward a sound Bush defeat in November of 04.

Thanks

7. NPR played them yesterday.

I heard them on the radio, they described the images.

GAWD....it sounds like they definitely exploited 9/11...trade center rubble...firemen...then they had Laura at a diner (?) with factory workers in hard hats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's all I could take I had to turn it off.

I feel a little positive about this. Can you say Backfire?

EDIT: Mopaul! I have missed that ventriloquist image! So glad you're back!

9. Did you hear Rep. Ellen Tausher slap down that Freeper caller?

LOL Nicely told him he might want to switch to decaf and tone down his diatribe!
He's probably frothing at the mouth now!!

[MI Cherie]

11. Or throwing something ...

... at his TV!

[Skidmore]

10. Someone needs to call the

freeper talking now that 911 is remember by Dems. We will not forget and it is because some of us remember that * is squirming now.

[MI Cherie]

12. The best way to ...

... remember and honor 9/11 is to allow a full and open investigation. Answer ALL the unanswered questions. What do they have to hide?
