Infamous attack ad from 1988 U.S. Election against Michael Dukakis. This ad was ran by the National Security PAC, not directly by the Bush/Quayle campaign.

So this is what the movie the Purge was based on?

Horton robbed 17yo Joseph Fournier, fatally stabbing him 19 times

Dukakis vetoed a bill to prohibit Murderers from furlough arguing it would "CUT THE HEART OUT of efforts at inmate rehabilitation"

After WH repeatedly raped a woman and stabbed her fiance, Judge Vincent Femia refused to return Horton to Mass. "I'm not prepared to take the chance that he might again be furloughed or otherwise released. This man should never draw a breath of free air again"

Thank goodness for this "Attack Ad"

So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. - Lee Atwater

Good job racist.

Republicans always try to sabotage mental health and police budgets. The biggest expansion of mental health care in recent years came in the Affordable Care Act, which, of course, Republicans tried to fully repeal. Many House Republicans also voted against a Bush-era move towards requiring insurers to treat mental illness like physical illnesses.

Being the biggest beneficiaries of American foreign aid, you'd reckon Israelis would have at least have some understanding of American history
