Wis. Candidate, Others Use 9/11 Ad Images

[Khephra]

MADISON, Wis. - On one side of the TV screen, Tim Michels tells voters Wisconsin needs a senator ready to back up President Bush in the war on terror.

On the other, black smoke billows from the World Trade Center.

Michels has not hesitated to use images from the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in his campaign ads as he seeks the Republican nomination to take on Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis. He is not alone in running such ads.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison's Wisconsin Advertising Project, which tracks political ads across the country, said it is seeing more campaign commercials with images from the attacks this year than it did two years ago.

1. the repuke senatorial candidates

are all trying to out blood-lust each other.

That, and who cares most about the "unborn."

The Three Disgustos.

2. It's their last chance to do so.

Once Bush is thrown out of office, a degree of sanity will return and the billowing smoke will be linked to Bush's negligence during his first 8 months in office.

3. He also uses actors as RACIST IMAGES of middle eastern looking men

Taking pictures, using cell phones, scouting power plants--- ala WILLIE HORTON

Then the Cretin tells his 6 year old daughter that he "WILL STOP THE BAD MEN FROM STEALING OUR AIRPLANES"

Its enough to make one vomit--- as he attacks Feingold as a TRAITOR for not agreeing with the PATRIOT ACT.

5. OK, boys. Wanna politicize 9-11? Who is to blame? Who was at the helm?

He ignored repeated warnings. He sat around for 7 full minutes after the 2nd jet hit the towers, after sitting around prior to that after the first jet hit.

How many lives might have been saved if someone with vision had been in office, someone who knew we were being attacked and knew how to respond in an emergency? Maybe 1 tower would still be standing. Maybe the Pentagon might have been spared.

But no. The incompetant one did NOTHING.

Bush wears 9-11 like a badge of honor. 9-11 should be a mark of shame to Bush.
