I believe democrats support fighting terrorism too.

the democrats are not threatening you with terrorist attacks if you do not vote for them.. the GOP is... vote for us or you will suffer a much larger attack than 9/11... that is what this ad is saying... how can you poosibly defend this.. what if osama came on tv and said.... convert to islam by november 7th or suffer a greater attack than 9/11... would that be terrorism? it is NO different than this, and the GOP is NO different that him. thaT IS A fact!

You got to pull out all the stops when you admit that you are going to lose anywhere from 7-30 House spots...

What a horrible ad

In some places, they may be in trouble....but in others GOP candidates will still win many elections...........why?? Because here in the hinterlands (outside of enlightened regions like Washington state), the Democratic Party is as corrupt as the GOP....and runs bigger turds than the GOP. Why??? Because the National Democratic Party was happy enough with the money and votes coming from the South that it never pressured many state Democratic parties to straighten up and fly right after the 1960s.....George Wallace was in power until the 1980s.........the state Democratic party did not like the candidate who won the primary after George's final term, so they threw out the primary and gave the slot to the "Party Man." At that time, winning the Democratic primary for governor meant that you won come general election time.........that little move cost them the governor's seat for the first time since the 1870s.

I don't need to watch it...I'm sure it is.

And the Dems try to scare people by saying Iraq is a terrorist training ground and recruiting more terrorists...etc....etc...etc....

They both do it, and we all do it based upon our opinions.

I think you are being too loose with the word 'Terrorist' here though.

I dispute that.. I don't believe the GOP's opinion has anything to do with it. this add is the result of the only poll that they are doing well in.. the American public think they are tough on terrorism - so they want the public to consider terrorism as the most important issue.

The GOP, knows as well as the rest of us that the war on terror is a failure except that it fill the box that says we're trying... and the voters are playing right into it by going to the polls at all.

Franky I hope they maintain control of the house - If some35% of the people still support the direction we are headed, we need to go a little further...

If the democrats take control - change a few things and and hold on for a while until they get boring and the GOP takes it back.. then we continue to go nowhere

we need significant change - and not enough people know it yet. I say we all go out and vote republican.

Significant change comes in stages. It can't all happen at once. Why let the republicans do 2 more years worth of damage to this country before we get some change? Got to stop the bleeding now.

What about free speech?

Haven;t seen the ad...but generally I love the ads around election time, each one makes me laugh for a different reason. They'rerererererere GRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEAAAAAAATTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!

There is an radio add here in West Virginia that is absolutely rediculas!!!!!!! We have a Senator named Robert Bird who is literally the oldest Senator in Congress. His age is way up there. Anyway the radio adds have snipets where he used the "N" word. And a TV add that is about him being in the KKK in like 1920's. I honestly looks like a Saturday Night Live commercial. Unbelievable!!!!!

that's not the issue. the issue is, they are saying, "if you don't vote for us, america will get attacked again"
it makes me laugh that you are openly supportive of such scare-tactics. whatever turns you on;)

I never said I was openly supportive of this particular ad. but I do support our government wanting to protect americans. republican or democratic.


regardless, I think getting as angry as robbie does is childish. like a 7 year old throwing a fit cuz she didnt get a new barbie

I agree.. time to stop the bleeding, and giving control to the democratic party is just more of the same.

It's kinda funny and shows how the average citizen lacks in knowledge of history.......but, the KKK of the 1920's was actually more a response to immigration (Irish, Italian and Jewish) and the beginning of America's isolationist period. It assumed the name and M.O. of the group started in the Reconstruction era South. It was not even the same KKK that rose up its ugly head in the 1960's.

Well evidentially this Senator got out way before it even became what it is today, but there are all of these adds about him saying the "n" word, and KKK and just terrible stuff. He has been a senator for as long as I can remember. Every road, building, hospital, college, town, has something in it named after this man. It is really comically actually. Saturday Night live, back when they were funny, could not have done a better skit.

and I think justifiably soooo...he can see through the BS.....he knows he has a better chance of winning the lottery than being the victim of a terrorist..and he is verrry disapointed in the American people eating this shit up.....I felt like this for a while....then realized...people are shee ah ah I mean People....but in the end when we're at 10,000 US soldiers dead, history will show us how fkd up the US administration was after 9/11 (Dems included) and the sadness of all those Americans that just followed along...for whatever reasons.....greed, rightiousness(I know I fkd up that spelling) or ignorance. Okay now I feel better....fkn Robbie got me going...okay back to the abortion page. (-:

Yeah, and most people in major cities -- NYC, LA, SF, Chicago -- think Bush's head is up his ass.
