Dupe ..........sorry...........Springsteen over anti-Bush Campai

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP)


Upset with Bruce Springsteen's effort to oust President Bush from the White House, the New York Conservative Party's candidate for the U.S. Senate is launching a "Boycott the Boss" television commercial.

"He thinks making millions with a song-and-dance routine allows him to tell you how to vote," Marilyn O'Grady says in the 30-second spot. "Here's my vote: Boycott the Boss. If you don't buy his politics, don't buy his music."

In a statement, O'Grady said Springsteen "has a right to say what he thinks, but we have an equal right to speak. Now that he's moved onto the political stage to bash my president, it is entirely fair to respond." ..

A spokesman for O'Grady, Howard Lim, would not say how much the Long Island's ophthalmologist's campaign was spending on the commercial, in which she says, "I stand with President Bush and it's time to tame the liberal elite." ..

5. Where's the First Amendment?
These conservatives are a hoot. They can spend millions of dollars on outright lies about John Kerry's military and senatorial service, and say it's freedom of speech, live with it. Bruce Springsteen and other musicians are fed up with Bush's bullshit war-mongering policies and they want to have a series of concerts to express their opinions on this, and the freepers try to censor them.

Somebody on this website once stated that the Nazis never went away, they just relocated. I'm beginning to agree with him.
