I think I'm going to unplug my TV until after the election.
The Republican media machine has reached new lows remarkably early, and I have little doubt that the Democrats will soon follow. (If they can find the money)
Sorry, but I agree that it was wrong to use the Ground Zero footage in one of the original TV spots. I would not have had as big of a problem if the footage had been of Bush actually on the scene -- but even then, using a national tragedy for personal advancement strikes me as wrong.
The next round of commercials accuses Senator Kerry of being in favor of a huge tax increase ($900 Billion I think was the number). Later, the people behind the spot admitted that the number came from their calculation of how much it would cost to fund a program Kerry is in favor of -- Medicare, I think. That's a lot different than proposing a tax increase.
(Diverging -- although I simply don't understand how Federal programs and wars and such are supposed to be funded when the mantra is tax cuts and no new taxes. Sooner or later, the math simply doesn't work -- and someday we have to figure out how to decrease the HUGE national debt.)
Anyway, I'm not sure I'm ready for eight months of attacks, thinly veiled lies and half truths.
