As I live in a battleground state, we get lots of commercials... too dang many. Can't wait for this to be over for that reason alone. Here are some tag lines of some of them:

Lies about Kerry
Kerry is against education reform
Kerry voted against body armor for the troops
Kerry voted 350 times to raise taxes
Kerry will raise taxes by 900 billion in his first 100 days in office
Kerry supported a 50 cent gas tax
Kerry opposed tax relief for married couples 22 times
Kerry would repeal the Patriot Act's use of (wiretaps and supoena powers) against terrorists.

Now plz note: these are things from ads I've seen on TV, and from Bushcheney websites. These are not things 'I've heard'. Because they are commercials, and subject to some type of fact checking, there is lots of spin in these. Lots and lots. The overwhelming impression they give, however, is that of a big stinking lie.

Lies about Bush
Bush is sending jobs oversees
Bush has spent 200 billion dollars on the war in Iraq.

Proportionally, about the same as your list Onetime. More Kerry items than Bush items, of course.

thx
