FLASH AD WARS

Remember this DNC ad that caused such a ruckus a few weeks back?

The Republicans have responded with an ad of their own.

And of course, theirs is full of bullshit. The repubs are the ones who came up with the phrase "privatization" in the first place, to describe their own plan, and put it on their own party platform! What was Bush's social security plan in the 2000 campaign? It was privatization, plain and simple. Up until several weeks ago (when the Rove memo got there), what was the plan called at the Cato Institute? Yep, privatization! If the GOP gets the senate majority after the elections, suddenly privatization will be back in full force.

On a side-note: Republicans have accused the campaign of Senator Max Baucus (D-Montana) of gay-baiting in a campaign ad against opponent Mike Taylor. Does it help their case that Bush is shown in pink and purple tights in their flash ad? It all seems pretty silly to me.

Another note: In light of Bush's now well-known recent verbal gaffe, why do they end the ad by saying "dont be fooled"???

Yet another note: May of 2001, at TGI Friday's of all places, Robb McFadden, head of the Berkeley College Republicans, said, and I quote:

"Privatization is the only way"

Is he ready to either renounce his statement, or denounce the flash ad? Which is it?
("uhh...")

shame on . . . uh . . . shame on you.
