Republicans Running First Bush Ad in Iowa

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A4419-2003Nov21.html

Concerned about withering Democratic attacks on President Bush, Republicans are putting out their first advertisement of the campaign for next year's presidential election, defending Bush and accusing his opponents of being soft on terrorism.

The 30-second ad offers a preview of Bush's likely re-election campaign, saying he offers "strong and principled leadership" in an indirect reference to his response to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. There is no mention of the Iraq war, focus of many Democratic attacks.

"Our war against terror is a contest of will in which perseverance is power," the ad shows Bush saying in his State of the Union address last January.

Then the message "Some are now attacking the president for attacking the terrorists" pops up, followed by: "Some call on us to retreat, putting our national security in the hands of others."

The fear mongering continues.

.."My Goodness!"

That's why I LOVE the Kucinich billboards.
We need to feel some hope about now from anyone trying to attain a political office.
