Love that new DNC McCain Attack Ad

Yeah, its devastating .... to the DNC. I actually hate to give you advice, but I think you should consider withdrawing the ad, for a host of reasons. I know you've got a lot of cash on hand, but I would also recommend, unless of course it's for the purpose of distributing patronage cash/favors, to saving the attacks for after the conventions. You will get no pay dirt on McCain attacks right now. Tell America what your candidates' (technically undetermined) vision and plan is, not what the other guy's is. Unless that is precisely what you are trying to avoid.

Friend,

Yesterday, Governor Dean sent around our second national television ad.

It's one of the most powerful television spots Americans will see this year. It's simple, and it's brutally honest. It rocked the McCain campaign, because they know they'll spend the every day through November dealing with the fallout.

This is the ad the Republican National Committee is working around the clock to stop, even threatening legal action against television stations that air this spot. That's how worried about it they are.

If you haven't seen it yet, watch it now, and send it to everyone you know:

We can't afford to let-up.

Watch the ad, and make a contribution to help us stay on the air by tomorrow, April 30.

Newsmax.com - Source: U.S. Strike on Iran Nearing

Newsmax.com - Source: U.S. Strike on Iran Nearing: "Contrary to some claims that the Bush administration will allow diplomacy to handle Iran’s nuclear weapons program, a leading member of America’s Jewish community tells Newsmax that a military strike is not only on the table – but likely.

“Israel is preparing for heavy casualties,” the source said, suggesting that although Israel will not take part in the strike, it is expecting to be the target of Iranian retribution.

“Look at Dick Cheney’s recent trip through the Middle East as preparation for the U.S. attack,” the source said.

Cheney’s hastily arranged 9-day visit to the region, which began on March 16, included stops in Israel, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman, Turkey, and the Palestinian territories.

Tensions in the region have been rising.

While Israel was conducting the largest homefront military exercises in its history last week, Israel’s National Infrastructure Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer warned Tehran about expected attacks on the Jewish state.

“An Iranian attack will prompt a severe reaction from Israel, which will destroy the Iranian nation,” he said.

He predicted that in a future war, “hundreds of missiles will rain on Israel,” but added that Iran “is definitely"

Take THAT, Howard Dean!!!!

American Thinker: The slick trick behind global frauding

American Thinker: The slick trick behind global frauding: "In Al Gore's America, any 'global warming denier' is guilty until proven innocent. He or she must have been bought off by Big Oil. Skeptics, no matter how well-qualified, must prove the negative about really silly alarmist hogwash. And whenever some prediction is falsified, the warm mongers have an explanation: it's just a temporary glitch in the data. Oh, yes, we were wrong about 1998, but just wait till 2050! The excuses are endless."

McCain, Obama Clash Over Iran's Al Qaeda Role - March 20, 2008 - The New York Sun

McCain, Obama Clash Over Iran's Al Qaeda Role - March 20, 2008 - The New York Sun: "Mr. McCain's national security adviser, Randy Scheunemann, told The New York Sun, 'There is ample documentation that Iran has provided many different forms of support to Sunni extremists, including Al Qaeda as well as Shi'ia extremists in Iraq. It would require a willing suspension of disbelief to deny Iran supports Al Qaeda in Iraq.'"

Re: McCain's huge gaffe

Mr. Dean:

You need to formulate a better line of attack. Your fund raising
email on McCain's "gaffe" only reveals your own naivety, ignorance
and desperation.

There is just too much information readily available all over the
web, including the 9/11 Commission Report, that links "Shia" Iran
with "Sunni" Al Qaeda.

I suggest you focus on his age, or possible infidelities!
