Personally I thought MoveOn’s ad was overboard. However, I thought the Senate’s resolution to condemn it was a ridiculous political ploy, especially since Republicans had gotten away with smearing John Kerry and Max Cleland much worse than MoveOn’s Petraeus ad.
Barbara Boxer tried to compromise, sponsoring a bill to condemn the MoveOn ad, but also retroactively condemn the attacks on Kerry and Cleland. Her bill was rejected in favor of the hypocritical one.
Liberals – does the fact that the Dems didn’t have the spine to vote for Boxer’s compromise resolution bother you?
Conservatives – how can you support politicians who will smear a war veteran one day and then condemn the smearing of a military man the next? In fact, Sen. Saxby Chambliss – who got elected by comparing war veteran Max Cleland to bin Laden and Sadaam – voted in favor of the resolution to condemn the MoveOn ad!
How can Republicans stomach such hypocritical political representatives?

He is getting negative attacks for asking “are you tired of negative political ads?”…but I am tired of negative political ads, and we all know we have to listen to them for almost another year..and then we get a break for about 2 minutes and they will start again. …(question break for the yahoo police) you agree?
He said “Merry Christmas”…shame on him!!!
I thought it was great for a candidate to say Merry Christmas instead of Happy Holidays. It shows that he will not fall into the political correct ways that 12% of America wants to run with. (I dont know if 12% is the right number..but I’m sure someboby will let me know)
So here’s the main question. Is it fake outrage, or was people actually offended by Huckabee wishing Americans good health and a safe Christmas?
