Moe and Bugsy,

I have a couple more to add...

1. Which party was responsible for the Iran Contra Affair...Republican

2. Which party was responsible for the Savings and Loan Scandal...Republican

"Neil Bush was director of Silverado Savings and Loan when the institution collapsed in 1988, costing taxpayers $1.6 billion. Neil Bush was accused of giving himself a loan from Silverado with the cooperation of Ken Good, of Good International, although Bush stated it was not a conflict of interest. Neil Bush is a brother of President George W. Bush."

I do worry that the corruptness of the GOP will pull the next election. I really doubt that Bush was ever really elected. Karl Rove has a history of decietful acts against election outcomes dating back to 1970.

The idea that voters would fall for such a pathetically transparent gimmick is insulting.
What self-respecting person would believe that this is "truth" coming from a slandering, joke ad put out by the RNC?

....

Unfortunately, the American people have proven several times that they fall for just about anything...

Kucinich is a sell out too, last election he pledged not to run for Pres. again. He is as much a sell out as anyone else running for POTUS.

Don't worry, there will be a credible third party candidate this year, thanks to these fools. If Clinton is the nominee, I will be voting for that third party.

When the Republican Party uses the terminology increased spending, raise taxes, retreat from the "War on Terror," I hope they realize their days of intimidation, lying, and brainwashing have peaked out. I remember well the night Colin Powell made his speech before the UN about weapons of mass destruction, and he was the only one in this entire bunch of YAHOOS that I believed. I had thought of Mr. Powell as an honorable man, but even he let me down. There is no one across this country who has not witnessed the demise of our credibility or financial stability by this administration with the endless funding for a war in Iraq which has altered our country's image around the world. We have watched a completely debtless nation be turned into financial ruin, and we will be extremely lucky if we can weather the next few months. No matter who is elected into the presidential office, the task will be an enormous undertaking. As for a "War on Terror," surely no one across this country can honestly believe we are fighting a "War on Terror," as long as our borders remain open and anyone can come across at any given moment. For all of you worried about raising taxes and increased spending, how do you propose to get us out of the mess that this administration has put us in? If all of that money would have been utilized to benefit our country and our people, everyone could have received a college education, quality health care, and been millionaires! So don't think for one minute that a few ads during the Democratic debate will come close to altering my thoughts on any of the above. For the past seven years, I have been shown that no one in this administration would know what TRUTH is if it fell from heaven and hit them on top of the head.

I love this ad, mostly because it's so astoundingly poorly thought-up. Look at some of the questions asked on it:

- Whose Lifetime Composite Score Makes Them The Most Liberal Member Of The Senate Running For President?

- Who Has Received A Rating Of 100% From The AFL-CIO?

- Who Received A Rating Of 100% From NARAL Pro-Choice America In 2006?

- Who Has Received A Rating Of 95% Or Higher From Americans For Democratic Action?

- Who Would Take Profits Away From Business To Fund Their Energy Plan?

- Who Is A Self Described Northeast Liberal?

This is the RNC thinking not like everyday people, but like hard-core Republicans - to whom the word "liberal" is indeed a slur. These questions might work if the ad was being run on GOP-heavy sites, but it's being run in New Hampshire newspapers and general interest websites across the state.

Many of the people who see this ad will also be "self-described Northeast liberals"! A high rating from AFL-CIO, Pro-Choice America and the ADA is great publicity!

I think the RNC just did some Democratic candidates a pretty nice favor. I wonder if any RNC folks are checking the Ticker to see early reactions to the ad, and if so, I wonder if they're getting a sinking feeling in their stomachs...

Once again these republicans just amaze me with their gall. What if the ad is turned around on them? Such questions as:

1. Which political party has to-date been the most corrupt party in american history? (Answer: Republican).

2. Which political party was responsible for Watergate? (Answer: Republican).

3. Which political party is responsible for Pottygate? (Answer: Republican).

4. Which political party has had their ethics questioned more in this country due to their association with lobbyists? (Answer: Republicans).

5. Which political party has run up the deficit with their outrageous spending? (Answer: Republicans).

6. Which political party is continuing to keep the illegal Iraq war flourishing for big business interests?
(Answer: Republicans).

7. Which political party works for the rich in this country, and disregards the middle class and the poor? (Answer: Republicans).

This list could go on and on and on....

Sure hope Fact Checker is ready for this one! With the Repub Party's stellar reputation for truth,justice for all, and the American way of upholding the Constitution, New Hampshire voters would do well to research on their own.

Viewing CNN headlines you'd think you were watching Professional Wrestling – often using the verb "SLAMS".

I wonder if they would ever run a headline: Fox News SLAMS CNN in the ratings!

Nahh... "slam" is only reserved for situations involving a Republican disagreeing with a Democrat.

The RNC is perhaps one of the most corrupt organizations in U.S. History. read "Armed Madhouse" by Greg Palast to find out how they threw the 2000 and 2004 elections and how they're planning to throw 2008. Palast accidently got some of Karl Rove's missing emails sent by Tim Griffen, his stooge who is now running Fred Thompson's campaign. They were caging lists for Rove's approval. They send out first class letters to Democratic districts, mostly black or hispanic, and to soldiers home addresses when they know they're overseas. Then if the letter comes back returned to the RNC, they can challenge the votes. As a voter, you'll never know your vote was challenged if you send it in absentee say from Iraq. That's just one method. The RNC needs to be prosecuted. John Kerry could have done it when he lost Ohio by mere votes. Later they tried and convicted the three heads of the Ohio RNC election board for election fraud. It barely made the news because the RNC used its influence to back page it. I am outraged at the RNC and I and many others will be watching the next race very closely. They try to convince us that we need voter ID cards to stop millions of illegal aliens from voting... c'mon, when is an illegal alien actually going to show up and vote. You know how many cases of voter fraud have been found in six years of RNC trying? Five. And they were all bogus. They'll try and use voter id cards the same way "poll taxes" were used during Jim crow to keep black voters away. What lower income or even middle class Democrat is going to pay for a voter ID? Even if its free, its hard enough to get people to the polls as it is, when are they going to find time to go make a voter ID? The RNC plays on fear and loathing to keep people apart. They count on voter apathy to rig elections. Only by standing up and uniting can we stop it all from happening again. That's why I'm supporting Barack Obama. I know that he'll inspire enough voter interest to keep the politics of fear and cheating at bay. Read "Armed Madhouse" by Greg Palast. It's the reason that Florida college student was tazed last week. He had a copy of it in his hand and he was quoting from it to Kerry when they pulled him down and tazed him. Your country is at stake. Educate yourselves.
