1. They included a link to the Repuke ad, too!

Was Bush Ad Appropriate?

2. Should be DemocratIC ad

Democratic, not Democrat when describing something.

[AndyA]

3. DU this, everyone! It's close!!

If the Repugs can do it, it's certainly fair game for the Dems. Show the hypocrites for what they are!

[CottonBear]

4. Democratic is an adjective which modifies the noun ad.

Please to not succumb to the use of RW smear words. Randi Rhodes uses the incorect word all the time and it drives me crazy. It is incorrect use of the English language and when used by the GOP is a slur.

9. Why should it be acceptable for those who let 9/11 happen and who

started this filthy, unnecessary war of choice, use any of the images for political purposes? The WH has done more to exploit 9/11 than anyone else (not to mention the shameless whoring of Giuliani et all at the RNC)

Fuckers. All of them.

If the American People saw the real results of this lousy war, there would be even less support for it than there is now. THAT'S what the WH cannot stand. They and their spoiled rich corporate buddies are profiting hugely off this war. They need it. And of course, Chimpy and Cheney being the cowardly little chickenhawks they are, they need to try to 'prove' that they are 'military men' particularly Chimpy with his meaningless little photo ops.

This "antiseptic war" may as well be some video game as far as a lot of the US public is concerned.

Jeez, Americans have become a bunch of 1950's-era anti-unconventionalism, coddled babies.

Done, K&R, by the way.

With that many votes, the up and down will not change much.

Ex: A 2% change will require that EVERY registered DUer vote at least once on Appropriate. (And we know there are a lot of trolls registered and a lot that have been banned.)

So, realisticallly, to change the % it will require a lot of cookie deleting, a lot of re-voting, or just a lot more of us.

So have fun. But don't look for much movement in this little poll.

(BTW. Polls initiated by TV stations, newspapers, etc. are faked all the time. I know. I worked for FOX.)

[zcflint09]

32. Funny how

100% of the people who use CNN are in support, yet, AOL's is split down the middle. Did AOL not outsource Diebold for this one?

[Clarkie1]

33. I just watched the ad and find it absolutely astounding

that any American would judge anything in it to be inappropriate.

Really.

[Carla in Ca]

34. It's the barbara bush syndrome

It hurts their beautiful minds, you know.

This reminds me of the Florida recount in 2000. If they don't like it, they just scream and stomp their feet until they get the result they want. It worked then, it worked now. The ad has been pulled. Another opportunity to find our voice...lost.
