Guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 DJ In Bush Ad, Wolves Suggest Terrorists' Threat Under Kerry WASHINGTON (AP)--President Bush's campaign, using powerful imagery of prowling wolves, suggests in a new TV ad that the country under John Kerry would be vulnerable to terrorists because "weakness attracts those who are waiting to do America harm." Countering, Kerry's campaign accused the president of employing "the politics of fear" out of desperation. Reminiscent of Ronald Reagan's Soviet "Bear" ad that was credited with helping frame the 1984 race, the commercial shows a dense forest from above. Scurrying is heard as the camera plunges deeper into the woods and pans sunlight-speckled trees. Shadows move through the brush before animals are seen amid the forest. Then, the ad reveals the type of animal: A pack of wolves rest on a hill. As the commercial closes, the predators stir, moving toward the camera. "In an increasingly dangerous world, even after the first terrorist attack on America, John Kerry and the liberals in Congress voted to slash America's intelligence budget by $6 billion," an ominous voice says in the ad. "Cuts so deep they would have weakened America's defenses. And weakness attracts those who are waiting to do America harm." It implies that terrorists would take advantage of a Kerry presidency and the country could face another attack, which Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have implied on the campaign trail. The vice president said last month the country was likely to be "hit again" if voters made the "wrong choice" in November. Dow Jones Newswires This stuff is so laughable and pathetic... They can only surmise at best that America would be vulnerable to a 9/11 - type attack under a Kerry Administration... Meanwhile... It has already been PROVEN that the country WAS vulnerable to a 9/11 - type attack under the Bush administration. The proven risk is attached to Bush...while the presumed/suggested risk is attached to Kerry. Bush has a proven record...and that's what this is all about.

Butterfield 8 Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 I think there is a good reason that Doc's C map on oil stops here. I know quite a few people who no longer drive to work, but take the bus. Road trips will be out, woodburners in. Anybody know if Vermont Casting is a publicly traded company?

Butterfield 8 Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 ESLR Evergreen solar - I think it is one of Brians. The hydrogen plays look less promising. PLUG, Ballard , - there may be a fund that handles a group . less risky, hard to know which one will take off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrStool Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 The reason that consumers (in the aggregate) have been able to maintain their standard of living is the they have been pulling $3 billion A WEEK out of their revolving home equity lines, week in and week out.

Butterfield 8 Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 I would check with K Wave for timing on the energy trusts. Both oil and Canadian dollar are peaking - at least in the short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Hey Hunter... This morning in my waking hours, I some managed to happen upon the following thought... Obviously Spitzer is proving every day that the path to bringing anyone down is through their old e-mails. It's happened frequently enough now that it is the most feared method by which those guilty of corporate crimes can be busted. My thought was this... Given the cyber-capabilities of our top spooks, isn't it possible for them to create from whole-cloth e-mails that did not previously exist...possibly to create an entire incriminating conversation between to parties as long as two years ago, and insert the bogus correspondence on the hosting servers and in the victim's e-mail folder, without a trace? Couldn't this be used to blackmale or imprision any future "Enemas Of The State?" These guys are good. Are they that good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucid and confused Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 The reason that consumers (in the aggregate) have been able to maintain their standard of living is the they have been pulling $3 billion A WEEK out of their revolving home equity lines, week in and week out.
