Dear Ms. Dog,
I'm just a pup, but it seem to me that some big dogs get more than their share of the meaty bones.

Talent's Desperation Is Starting To Show
Submitted by Roy Temple on August 21, 2006 - 9:53am
Senator Jim Talent's desperation is really starting to show. Today, I heard a radio spot from his campaign that includes every GOP hot button they could think of to put into a single attack ad. They throw everything but the kitchen sink at Claire.
It includes everything from drilling in Alaska, to gay marriage to ethanol, to immigration. And it mischaracterizes Claire's position on nearly every issue they raise.
It is possibly the single most dishonest campaign spot that I have ever heard, and I have heard some real dandies in my life.
But then again, what can you expect from Jim Talent. He's just doing whatever the Bush and RNC political teams tell him that he needs to do to win. He doesn't care if he has to lie, cheat or steal to do it. The only thing that matters to him is that he retains his hold on power.
Sadly, this is just the type of corruption you have to expect from a politician like Talent who has spent far too much time in Washington, D.C. Missouri values like honesty, fairness and decency are foreign to him at this point.

A Statesman???
Have you seen the latest Ad for JT showing and describing him as a Statesman?
Now that is using the term recklessly and pretty wild. This man wouldn't as the old saying goes "Make a pimple on a Statesman's A..(hindend).
Drust
Real Democrats wear "made in USA"
Are the shirts you all sell on this site "Made in Usa"?
Yes
Yes. The Fired Up shirts are made in the USA. And "fighting.back" is correct -- they were printed at a union shop. How many would you like?
Look at the photo
of the fired up button on the left hand side of the page. See the 'union bug' at the bottom of it? I'll bet the t-shirts are union printed too. My fired up bumpsticker is.
But it works!
It does -- get the base mobilized, lie/cheat/steal and whatever else it takes to get elected. Worry about moral behavior later once you're standing behind your bully pulpit. Doesn't have to be fair, right, accurate, or anything else -- just has to be OUT THERE! And if you think about, this is only the beginning, it's going to get worse.
Pathetic
I've heard this ad as well.Â
Too bad that Ol' JT feels that he has to lie to retain his seat.
That spot is pathetic. ...And, as you've indicated, plays to every fear that conservatives have. I guess if they can't scare the rural folks suggesting terrorist may be creeping around their rural hamlets, why not bring back the fear of gays and flag burners moving to the country.
It was just a matter of time before this crap started.
C.
Worse yet...
Gay terrorists coercing women to demand abortions and taking guns away from people while burning flags on your porch...why bother to make multiple boogeymen when you can just make a great big one!
You forgot one ...
The gay terrorists are actually illegal immigrants who just stole jobs for God-fearing Missourians.
Even more to add...
Ok, then, Gay illegal immigrant terrorists coercing women to demand abortions and taking guns away from people while burning flags on your porch on their off hours after working all day at a job they took from a hard working Missourian.
Or...Gay illegal immigrant terrorists working as the household help of the liberal intelligentia, who, as we all know, pee on the Bible while drafting petitions to take prayer out of schools and force children to say "one nation, indivisible" when pledging allegiance to a flaming American Flag. I can make it as broad spectrum coverage as you need!
Ooh, one more H.A.
Make those gay folks ones who want to get married and be parents. It's the stuff boogeymen are made of.
