1. She was just on MSNBC and was put on the hot seat for her ad

She asserted that by not doing anything the R's caused further victimization.

2. All in the name of saving a seat, saving campaign cash, and saving

power.

She's right, but I could see this backfiring if we push it too hard. The media is doing our work. We should sit back and watch while the Republicans eat each other alive.

3. The media will drop this just like they dropped the Gannon story.

If we allow them to, that is.

The media's job is NOT to "do our work." It is their job to do what their corporate owners TELL them to do.

WE do our work- it is OUR job.

5. The media is doing this because people are probably leaning on the media

Edited on Wed Oct-04-06 01:51 PM by eleny

That's my take on why the media does just about anything. We lean on the media, we let them know we're interested. The more we watch their programs, the more commercials they can sell. I'm not sitting back and being quiet for a minute.

6. She was simply telling the truth and I saw absolutely

nothing wrong with this ad. How could it back fire?
There has been several Repub pundits (Scarborough for one) say there is nothing in this ad except the truths. She is a strong advocate for child safety and this ad was totally appropriate..Imagine what would be said if the tables were turned and a Repuke ran an ad like this...nothing..

8. Hard to see how telling the truth can back fire. I hope she sticks with

it. She should have more than just this ad though. How about another ad hitting the Republicans for taking 100 grand to look the other way on a pedophile? It's brass knuckles time, folks. Does anyone think the Republicans wouldn't use this stuff on Democrats if the tables were turned?
