Kucinich launches TV ads in Wisconsin

[Feanorcurufinwe]

Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich launched a television ad Thursday in four Wisconsin cities that criticizes two of his opponents for their stance on the Iraq war.

The 30-second ad, called "Bush out, Kucinich in," highlights his being the only one of the three Democratic presidential candidates in Congress who opposed the U.S. decision to go to war. U.S. Sens. John Edwards of North Carolina and John Kerry of Massachusetts supported war in Iraq. "Now these other candidates claim they were duped, misled, lied to," Kucinich says in the ad. "Why would the Democratic Party nominate a candidate who can be so easily fooled?"

The ad - airing in Eau Claire, Green Bay, Madison and Milwaukee - closes with a voiceover that calls Kucinich, "the eyes that see through the lies."

Kucinich has been a consistent critic of Bush's policy in Iraq and has accused other Democrats of wavering in their opposition to the war. Kucinich is scheduled to visit Wisconsin Saturday, with rallies planned in Green Bay and Stevens Point.

Good point DK!

2. I wish that he would have hit on NAFTA instead of Iraq

His position on NAFTA could have put him over the top.

3. I'm a big Kucinch supporter and I agree

I commend DK on his Iraq stance and think that it should be a major part of this campaign, but I agree that his stance against NAFTA and the WTO need to be emphasized more. To me thats where his real differences and strengths could register with voters the most.

4. As a Kerry supporter I agree as well.

That would be more effective.

7. NAFTA's a bigger issue

He really needs to hit on that.

6. I would have hoped for focus on the economy

But I didn't get it. It's a shame, he's the strongest on economic issues.
