7. One thing that just pissed me off!!!
There was a clip of Kerry speaking to the Senate just before his vote on the Iraq war. He was saying the very things he has been saying on the campaign trail about his objections and concerns about the war.
He said back in June of 2002 that the only reason he was voting for the Iraq war authority was to disarm the Iraq regime and destroy the WMDs but that he had grave concerns because the administration had not given the Congress any plan for handling Iraq after Saddam was toppled. In other words, the Bush administration (led by Rove) have been painting Kerry as a "flip-flopper" on Iraq when, in fact, he leveled the same concerns about the administrations mishandling of Iraq since 2002. Why the hell didn't the Kerry campaign put together an ad that showed this clip followed by Kerry's campaign statements and criticisms about the Iraq war. THEY ARE THE SAME. Yet Kerry and his campaign allowed the Rovian label to go virtually unchallenged. I am pissed because I am sure there are significant number of voters out there who believe those Rovian snip ads that made Kerry look and sound like a "flip-flopper."

This was really a terrific program. After watching it you just have to end up a Kerry supporter unless you are brain-dead.
