Bush just put out a few adds recently attacking Kerry. The question I have is this, was Bush the first to start running negative adds against the other canidate? We all know we are going to have to put up with these adds for a while now....sigh.

One thing I found interesting is one of the adds said Kerry is going to raise taxes by $900 billion. Kerry has never said this at all, when the Bush team was asked about it they said they made that number up from what they expected his proposals to cost. Basically they completly lied, isn't this known as libel? And can't they get into a lot of trouble for this?
