There is no doubt in my mind that both parties will be producing more and more unbelievable criticizing advertisements as we count down the days to the midterm election.
I will explain the newest, biggest, and baddest one of them all.
Over the course of many months with the various scandals and speculation that the president is breaching the boundaries of his executive power, Bush has been trying hard to keep the focus on the “War on Terror”.
It seems only natural to me that incumbent republicans would choose an advertisement concerning the wars.
The GOP has just announced they will release the advertisement this weekend. It is apparently intended to paint the democrats as being soft on terror, and the GOP will monopolize on their own attributed fear tactic once again.
They have gotten their idea for their new advertisement by examining an advertisement launched by Lyndon B. Johnson against his opponent, Barry Goldwater, in 1964. Under that specific advertisement, Johnson took advantage of the Cold War and labeled his opponent as an extremist who would plummet the nation into a nuclear war if elected president.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._presidential_election,_1964
The advertisement to be aired this weekend, like the one in 1964, is actually an exaggerated, despicable, petty, and desperate act with a small amount of truth blown WAY out of proportion by scaremongerers and warmongerers who have always relied heavily on their notorious FEAR TACTIC to garner support.
As you should know, republicans are scared out of their mind by the possibility of losing control of Congress. Meanwhile democrats are generally confident, and justifiably so.
Although it can be argued that the democrats are “soft on terror”, it is because they realize Iraq is no real "terror" threat to homeland security; actually our war which is fueling Islamic hatred is the cause of the threat.
As long as our nation shows diplomacy backed by our own military prowess, Intelligence, and support from the UN, democrats believe there is no doubt our great nation will be just fine.
The democrats certainly are "soft on terror" as they put it, and far less aggressive in the issue. But Intelligence points to the fact that the GOP is clearly WEAK on terror with their failing foreign policies backfiring 180 degrees.
So, which is better?
Is it the fault of the democrats that republicans would not listen to them after a while into the invasion, when democrats anticipated that more terrorists will form and things will only get worse? Nope. The “infallible” GOP thought they knew best.
Please excuse my bias…but I feel it is necessary since it supports reality, after all.
But I digress...are you going to let republicans sway you to vote for them and continue to intentionally mislead our American population into believing that they are doing a good job in the war fronts? Or are you going to allow them to persuade you with their scare tactics to succeed once again, as it happened when the U.S. almost unanimously decided to invade Iraq (the war in which our army bases are stationed next to oil fields)?
Hopefully none of the above!
I URGE ALL FELLOW AMERICANS to take into account with a clear head the advertisement, should they happen to view it sometime this weekend.
On November 7, I want ALL OF YOU to use your head and your heart to get out there and VOTE!!!

How can we called a democracy and can't even count our own votes? Remember the 2000 elections? Osama and the crew had to be laughing their butts off as we were counting loose chads, and ballots, and debating results. We were so distracted by that foolishness, while terrorist were planning our demise. It is a disgrace.

I know there's absentee ballots, but I was under the impression that that was if you were out of the country. Is that what you do when you're out of state, too? And if so, how do I go about voting in this fashion?

George Walker Bush did not win the election in 2000. Katherine Harris disenfranchised an enormous amount of black voters. If your name was the same as a convicted criminal, or if your first initial, and your last name was the same, your name was pulled from the voter rolls. Many black people who were eligible to vote were actually stopped by Florida Highway Patrol and kept from being able to get to the polls.

Even after the voting was done, there were terrific flaws in the counting of the ballots. When the good guys asked for a re-count of the ballots, the bad guys refused to do it.

They, eventually took the case to George Herbert Walker Bush's appointees (The gang of five) on the Supreme Court, and they stopped the re-count, and appointed George Walker Bush as the president.

Later, after all ballots were finally counted, it was found that Al Gore got nearly 1,000,000 more votes than did the bad guys.
