strange famous: i'll grant you that there is a case to be argued that President Bush shouldn't have used those images in a campaign add... but to imply that this is a new low in politics is just too dramatic for me.

mml: if someone switches presidential candidates and joins the formerly opposing campaign after viewing a single ad, i seriously doubt they would fit the description of "staunch republican." obviously, you know this person... and i don't. still, that doesn't seem very believable.

my personal opinion is that the democratic strategists know that the war on terror has been prosecuted effectively by the President and will do what they can to take the leverage he holds from this issue away from him. the whole uproar over this in light of the countless other attacks (from both sides) smacks of sanctimony and hypocrisy.

There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves. ~ Winston Churchill Last edited by irateplatypus; 03-05-2004 at 12:02 AM..
