You wanted to know who was responsible for DCCC pulling the Ad?

[Dr.Phool]

Here are the culprits.

Chet Edwards (DINO-Texas) and John Spratt (DINO-SC)

I think these two sell-out cowards should get a ton of letters and calls from DUer's.

1. No the no backbone DCCC is responsible

for the ads being pulled.

[Dr.Phool]

5. You're absolutely right.

I'm really starting to wonder about my party. And I'm thoroughly commited to a congressional campaign thru Nov. After that, I don't have a clue.

[leftchick]

2. let me guess

DLC?

[wyldwolf]

4. hmmm... if we want to use "DLC" in such a general term...

The DLC created the ad.

[leftchick]

7. seriously?

I didn't know they had the nerve to do something so ...... UN mainstream.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

9. Then they back down. Typical.

[wyldwolf]

11. Sorry -- only one of them is DLC...

Which makes the other non-DLC. Right?

Perhaps you have a source stating the DLC put Spratt up to it? No? Didn't think so.

From the article from CNN:

Privately, Democrats acknowledge that Spratt and Edwards must condemn the video because they represent Republican districts.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

12. Still spineless.

[wyldwolf]

13. no, they represent Republican districts and want to retain the house seats

[Crazy Guggenheim]

18. Then it doesn't make any who you vote for int htose elections. Oh well.

[wyldwolf]

21. Makes perfect sense

The two house members are Democrats. Would you like to lose those seats?

[Crazy Guggenheim]

22. Oh electability again. Play to the middle, etc. PLEASE! Be more

confident in your policies!

[wyldwolf]

23. answer the question

Bush soundly defeated Sen. John Kerry (D-Massachusetts) 70 percent to 30 percent in the 2004 presidential contest, while Chet Edwards won re-election that same year by a 51 percent to 47 percent margin.

Again, wanna lose that seat?

[Archae]

3. Just wondering...

Are they DINO's or just plain scared of the Rove machine?

[liberalnurse]

6. Agreed.......

You see....my next Congrsswoman and best friend; she will take the real issues to the people.....

14. Oh Great!

He sure has nailed the Nusing Issues! Damn he's a winner in my book!

[LostinVA]

10. OMG -- "Jack Spratt"

[IChing]

17. Jack Spratt..omg

Jack Spratt could eat no fat
His wife would eat no lean
And so between the pair of them
They licked the platter clean


Origin to words of Jack Sprat can be found in British History!

The Jack Sprat alluded to in this English poem is reputed to be King Charles I (1625-1649)
and Henrietta Maria, his Queen (1609-1669).
Apparently, when King Charles (Jack Sprat) declared war on Spain,
parliament refused to finance him (leaving him lean!)
So his wife imposed an illegal war tax (to get some fat!) after the angered King (Jack Sprat) dissolved Parliament.

15. Again IT RAN FOR TWO WEEKS!

It's a fucking sickness.

19. I will bet them $25,000 that they have no testicles

20. It should keep running until the day after the elections!!!!

When you have a good message, why pull it?!!!!

Rub their faces in their failures! We let them frame it as using dead troops for political gain.

[Beelzebud]

16. Weakness is why we lose. Can we just please stand our ground ONCE?

What's the use in keeping "dry powder" around if you NEVER intend on using it?
