Aren't the "Block the Bush Pay Cuts" commercials awesome???
Wow, they've just been blitzing CNN with this commercial all day. Has anyone else seen it??

This is such good news for us... highlighting the overtime issue really helps spread the message that Bush is against working families.

I think the ads are effective, and fantastic.

Here's the link the ads point to:

1. Thanks for the link
This underlines President Bush's approach to deficit reduction: make the poor suffer.

3. I hope they're running someplace besides CNN.
Some of the people the issue affects might not be able to afford premium cable channels.

4. This may truly be a lightning-rod issue for us...
... and I hope our Mighty Dem Candidates really advance this important issue.

I work in a nightclub, which is a pretty non-political place as a whole, but this is one issue I've heard many, many people talk about lately. I can tell you that I, as a General Manager, am going to be severely impacted by this ridiculous proposal, as are my assistant managers.

I'm so pissed off by it that I can't even begin to express my disgust. This is one issue that we can really point to and say "See? They could give a flying f@ck about you."

6. If conservatives hate communism so much...
...why do they try so hard to re-create the conditions that spawned it?
