GOP, what a bunch of whiners: GOP Wants Ads That Criticize Bush Pulled
GOP Wants Ads That Criticize Bush Pulled
The RNC sent the stations a letter Friday suggesting the outlets may be complicit in breaking campaign finance laws if they air the MoveOn.org Voter Fund ads. It asked them to decline to broadcast the ads.


OK, how does the GOP have the audacity to request this?:shrug:

1. Well when they take over the rest of the country, they can do this.
Until then I like to say I hate what he is doing to my country.

(Too bad DU Admin removed that "one-fingered salute" smiley icon-- I could have used a few dozen of them here)

4. Don't organizations and citizens have the right to...
create these ads and PAY for the space to run them out of private monies?

.... or was the first amendment suspended while I was on a bender?

8. Wing-nuts are crowing about it on another forum.
http://www.americanforum.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=901

This is a desperation ploy by Gillespie, nothing more. It will be something if he's successful in suppressing the ads.

15. What a bunch of babies...
they never could stand the criticism; they can only dish it out.

bush is a cretin, the whole nation knows it, most of us accept it publicly, why do these people have to show just how foolish they really are?

Guess it is the "Vote by Rote" squad in a tizzy, nothing more.

They would be better off touting bush's accomplishments...on second thought, that is a loser too, there are none.

19. Seems to me the most critical are Bush's own ads
especially the one where he diepicts his administrations failures on 9/11.

20. Repub operatives set this up months in advance.
The article here:

http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/003/797eiqkh.asp

describes what should be called a plot by Repub operatives.

They are using campaign finance law to stop criticism of Bush.

Scary article.
