Way to Go, John Kerry!
He CONDEMNED the Move on add that questioned Smirks military service. Now, before you start screaming at me, keep in mind, that Smirk refused to condemn the Swift Boat add which is scurrilous at best. In my mind, this only makes Kerry look better. Smirk had his chance and waffled, Kerry stepped up to the plate.

Look, as far as I am concerned, Move ON can play that ad all they want. Some Americans still need to know, but, this move by Kerry shows a lot of integrity, something we have not seen in a long while.

1. No no, remember?
Boosh condemned all 527 ads? That included the swiftyvetties and Move On, right? Right? That is what Scotchy meant, right?

2. Wrong! Kerry has been suckered again. The shrub said all 527's
so he can claim to have done it. Kerry has pissed off those of us who donate to Moveon, and told us he doesn't want our help. So he
can do without my help at all. I really think he wants to lose.

3. Moveone should have done an ad that highlighted the facts about Kerry
and used quotes from the men on his boat, which are fabulous and neeed much more play, then just hinted at Bush, like saying, "Where was Bush?" at the end.

I watched the Moveon ad before the Kerry disavowel, and decided not to contribute because I didn't think it was very good.

4. Sorry you feel that way.
But Kerry is right. We need to focus on the issues....you know, that place where Smirk has no traction. All Smirk has is negativity. We need to keep hammering that.

5. We have lost our asses for the last 4 election cycles by using
those same loser tactics. The Fuc*in repugs are winning by lieing cheating and stealing, if you can't run with the big dogs stay on the
porch.

6. As long as you are so 'pissed', I think you should act out your anger.
Alone.

8. I'm sure he does too, but for some reason he is ahead in
almost all polls and widening the margin. Why do you think that is if he isn't doing anything right and really wants to lose ?:shrug:

9. It was a set up
MoveOn gets the word out, and Kerry looks better than Bush.

But, hey, don't let that get in the way of your hissy fit.

7. I agree with you...
It's a brilliant move..one of gotcha!

Moveon.org will continue to air the dirty truth about bush and Kerry can say ..we should stick to the issues.

10. Another view on this.
My first thought was not so much political expediency, but it was about how people who don't pay much attention would take it.

A neighbor and I have had many discussions about MoveOn. He is a Republican who supported Dean because of the war opposition.

He detests MoveOn, and he walked by today and made sure I knew about the fact that Kerry did not like their ad.

He did not see it the way you guys are presenting it. I can your point of view, but he is against MoveOn. He saw on the news that Kerry "denounced" their ad. He said see I told you so.

But then I am so damn stupid that I don't understand politics. I am actually being made to feel like I should shut up because I think this is an evil war. Go figure.

Now this will leave an opening for someone to question my political acumen. That is what happens a lot now.

11. I stopped donating to Moveon ad funds
because *most* of the ads they make that aren't effective. Why did they do an ad that attacks Bush's guard record again? Why not show why what the Swift Boat liars is saying is not true.
