How the "Wild Eyed" attack ads have worked on me.
They have worked incredibly well. Two days ago I was depressed, upset, and downright despondent about the potential for a Gephardt Veep nomination. I was so down about this I was seriously considering just sitting this one out because of Gephardt's whoredom in the Rose Garden over a war I feel is not only unjustified, but also illegal.

After finding out I'm a "Wild eyed" Democrat, I no longer care. Kerry could pick a steaming pile of dog poo (which is only slightly worse than Gephardt IMO), and I still would not give a damn, Kerry would still get my support financially, and in the voting booth.

So thanks, Karl, your ad worked!

7. Yes, I was
I promised myself Gephardt or Lieberman as Veep would be deal breakers.

Now, my "wild-eyed" nature has gotten the best of me.

:evilgrin:

6. Yep, that ad is going to backfire on the repukes BIG Time
it's just going to get our base more fired up and show the swing voters that we aren't going to lay down and take what the repukes are dishing out anymore.

10. The Gephardt/Lieberman Veep possibility was the last possible
deal breaker for me. And now, I'm so "Wild-Eyed" those deal breakers no longer matter.

so, no more change of heart. Oh, I'll still be critical of what I consider to be mistakes, and will admit when I'm wrong about any of those, but Kerry still gets donations and support from me regardless!

12. I love that ad ....
It is VERY ANTI-Bush and PRO-Democrat, if you ask me ...

Gore's passion and deeeply felt disgust at what Bush has done to our great nation comes out crystal clear ... HE sparkled with righteous (and proper) indignation ...

And now? Bush is helping EXPOSE this righteous and justified anger ALL WHILE he shows images of HIM and Adolph changing places ? ...

HA ! ...

WHat fools ! ...

Rove is no genius ....

16. Ohhhh, that explains it.
Bushwah's campaign manager was on Hardball last night and kept using the expression "wild-eyed" to describe Democrats. I kept wondering where the heck that came from! It is hilarious to see the Bushbots all reading from the same script, using exactly the same expressions. I think John Stewart has done a great job of pointing that out.

Overall, this use of the term "wild-eyed" and that video ad reek of desperation. I think it will backfire on them, big time.

Thanks, Walt, for the post.
