2. yes it was www.realvoices.org....extremely powerful ad, it almost

choked me up. She seemed authentic. If the Rovians bash her, then they will be post-toast.

15. The one liners and lack of follow up responses

are dead giveaways.

10. I saw the ad where the sister says * mocked WMDs and her brother died

12. The picture of the guy too...

If you're talking about the one where his mother is asking Bush if he will be there for her now-fatherless grandchildren. The picture of the guy taken "40 minutes before his death" with the guy smiling...damn. Stupid fucking war.

18. The sister who said,

"Mr. Bush, if you're so eager to fight a war, why didn't you go 30 years ago when you had your chance?"
