I hate it when people try to smear a soldier.

Why is McClintock trying to woo Ron Paul supporters while at the same time smearing all those against the undeclared iraq war as anti American? McClintock is clearl a weak neocon stooge who will bow to GOP pressure at the drop of a hat. He by the way endorsed gun grabber open border advocate Schwarzenegger in 2006 as well as neocons john campbell and fred thompson. Good try Tommy, but you've shown your true colors. Get a real job for once in your life, eh? Signed, a former supporter.

You liberal Dems gave us Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac and support a Black Liberation Theologist who is the King of the Fannie Mae kickbacks and the Chicago earmarks for Michelle and his buddies. Go to non partisian Judicial Watch and look at your candidate's earmarks. Your liberal candidates find it difficult to hide their communist/socialist beliefs. McClintock is by far the best man who knows the California Budget and once he wins he'll demand reform in Washington among the Porked Politicians.

Find another district to run in McClintock.

The fourth isn't your stepping stone.

The Blue Star mothers are a right-wing Sacramento based group. I have no complaints with them, but their politics have always been right-wing Republican. That said, Charlie Brown's military career and the fact that he donates 5% of campaign conributions to veterans groups, make him 1000% the better man than McClintock will ever be. Not to mention that McClintock's uniform should be
a two-piecer: chicken hawk and carpet bagger.

Why in this ad Ms. Johns? I am a former U.S. Marine, and I believe that your smears against Mr. Brown are divisive and don't do anything to help our service men and women. Instead of trying to tear down Mr. Brown with a misleading ad, why don't you vote for the man who will bring your son home.

It was a sign. not an effigy. The message is an obviously true sign, warning that Bush is causing soldiers to die for no good reason. The idea is that we don't want that to happen to them. The word effigy is added to propagandize, and we are becoming so used to it.

There are a couple of major, major problems with commercial.

First off, a soldier 'was not hung in effigy'. That would suggest that that the crowd was baying to hang/kill US soldiers. They weren't. Pause the commercial at 11 seconds. The 'effigy' has a sign saying 'Bush lied, I died'. The so-called effigy symbolizes those that died on a war built on lies. Most Americans agree that to be the case.

Secondly, Brown wasn't wearing a uniform. Pause the vid at 25 seconds. Not wearing a uniform.

Excuse me, last time I checked, you _did_ have a Republican governor in California. And a Republican president. And a Republican majority in Congress for 6 of the last 8 years.

And you're worried about the _Democrats_?
