more lies
If you've seen the new Bush ad featuring a pack of wolves meant to represent the terrorists that would sneak in if Kerry is elected. Aside from the general fear-mongering that is the staple of the Bush re-election campaign, perhaps you've noticed the undisguised half-lie in it...perhaps you're one of the retard riff-raff that inhabit this country and don't care that Bush is pulling this shit off.
The voice-over in the ad says this:
Note the phrase "after the first terrorist attack on America" which is more than likely meant to make the viewer think of the 9/11 attacks that Bush talks about over and over and over and over again and, well you get the point. He has never talked about the Cole bombing in 2000, the embassy bombings in 1998, or even the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center that this may very well be referring to. The only attack that Bush brings up is the 9/11 attacks and the ad is vague enough to imply that that is what it's talking about.
After this attack, which the viewer is presumed is the 9/11 attack, it is said that Kerry "and the liberals in Congress" voted to decrease funding by $6 billion...this, of course, an attempt to make people think that Kerry tried to cut intelligence funding after the 9/11 attacks.
The $6 billion vote, however, took place in 1994 after the first attack on the WTC. It's right there on the screen. I doubt many people have noticed. Not only is the ad misleading in that context, but it is so in that that $6 billion was to occur over six years and would account for a dinky amount of the overall intelligence budget that had been overblown during those last years of the cold war.
Yes, the cold war. Remember that? Remember how the Soviet Union sort of fizzled away in the early ninties, making an intelligence system designed to spy on the it rather outdated and, in a lot of ways, excessive? Yeah. That's why this vote is sort of misleading as well...Republicans and Democrats were both on board for these cuts.
Fuck it. I'm just so sick of this bullshit that the Bush administration is doing, pulling votes out of context and trying to scare people with them. Yes, the Kerry campaign is stretching numbers and the like too, but nothing to this extent.
All I want is a president with a little integrity and honesty. Is that too much to ask?
The voice-over in the ad says this:
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 operations.
By 6 billion dollars…
Cuts so deep they would have weakened America’s defenses.
And weakness attracts those who are waiting to do America harm.
