Real Reason the GOP are Apoplectic and frothing at
the Mouth over Move On Ad.

Remember a while back, the War Issue had really comt to
a head. The GOPer's Constituents practically met them
at the Plane yelling and giving them the business over
the war.

Very quickly, there was a meeting at the WH between some
Congress(R"s) and the President. It was reported that the
conversations got quite frank and some might say heated.

It was reported that the Members told the President that
Constituents no longer trusted him. Congress Members
asked him to have General Petreus give the report from
Iraq so the American People would believe the results.

(there were many posts here at that time-=Petreus would
be saddled with whatever went wrong---remember that)

MoveOn's ad went straight for the jugular on what the GOP
perceived as their strength. Petrus was to save all their
skins; how dare this #!!!$****Activist Group mess up our
playhouse!!!!!

They jump on attack Moveon to try throw the attention on
Democrats hoping the public will be distracted and not
get mad at them.

Remember The GOP has plans for a long stay in Iraq.
and a large footprint while we are there.

2. Is there a line missing in the middle of the ad...
...or is it just a glaring, horrible, amateurish job of proof reading?

The third paragraph of the body text starts a whole new column width, in mid-sentence. Did you clip the .jpg or did they actually run it this way?

7. That ad is smash mouth
Leaves nothing unsaid (except for Petraeus lies about finding chemical weapons in Iraq years ago). An uncomplimentary photograph with the guy's mouth open, too.

8. I think it's awesome
We are all pretty use to seeing this stuff around here. I'm glad the rest of America has a chance to know the truth. Word plays like that leave an impression. I hope no one offers apologies for it! I'm sick of having to bow down grovel anytime anyone says something contrary to the White House. Stand UP!

4. They betrayed us. They're vulnerable and they know it. The truth hurts. n/t

6. I doubt that the FReepers read any farther than the headlines.
Don't worry though, they never actually deal with the substance of any issue. Did they deal with Bush* military service record? No they went after Dan Rather. Did they question how Iraq became part of the 9-11 response? No, you're either with us or against us.

They continually twist to deflect the arguments. They can't talk about an issue.

Great job MoveOn...well, done!

Beautiful ad.

Kudos to MoveOn.org.

Wish we had a Democratic Congress...and an OPPOSITION party...

spinless cowards...

Sigh...
