Cool.
Maybe he means we should act unilaterally and withdraw our ads.
My thoughts exactly!
An ad is only negative if it's aimed at liberals or the demonRATS. If you are a left wing liberal, it's OK to air negative ads toward the President, our troops, our country, etc., because that's what's fashionable. Dan Rather told me that and he wouldn't lie!
/sarcasm
"..because George Bush chose to go it _alone_.."
WHY NOBODY SUE THEM FOR THAT? THIS IS A -L-I-E-!
HOW COULD ONE RUN THIS AD WITH LIE IN IT???
WHERE IS FCC?
