President Bush today asked the Swift Boat Veterans to stop airing their ads attacking John Kerry.

http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=6047784 is a link if you need one.

President Bush says that all the "527" groups that are running attack ads should stop. I agree. You can bet that John Kerry will NOT ask the "527" groups that are spending millions to bash President Bush to stop their ads. The vast majority of "527" groups, about 87%, are attacking President Bush. Yet I've never heard President Bush whine about any of them the way Kerry is whining about the Swift Boat Veterans. Kerry just can't stand the heat.

Exactly! If you can't stand the heat than get out of the fire. Kerry made the choice to make his Vitenam the cornerstone of his campaign so it stands to reason that it is going be gone over with a fine tooth comb so to speak. Personally I think he is acting like a spoiled brat and demonstated long ago that he does NOT have the demeanor nor the decorum to be President. Kerry refuses to defend his own war record, good grief is he going to refuse to defend America?? Bush didn't say anything today that he hasn't already said before. He denounced 527's long ago.

I'm happy Bush finally said these things need to be stoped. All of them, and it would be nice if they do. I have heard alot of the ads on both sides, though most are not nice, the last 2 against Kerry are the nastiest. I don't like any of thes ads from either side, they take from the real issues, feed off public fear, anger, and hatred. I would much rather just hear the ads put out by the campaigns. These ads give the false impression, that everything in them is pushed by the candidate. I signed up under one just cause I thought I could get more info, but instead all I get is constant bombarment by them asking for money for anything and everything to smear the other party. The candidates aren't sending me anything, only these groups. I'm certain they are all doing this as much as possible. And the way I see it, they are taking money that may have gone to the campain rather then their smear ads.

I gotta get off here there's a storm and I don't want to get shocked or anything.
