Now Kerry is asking …

Now Kerry is asking for an end to the political ads.

Democratic presidential challenger John Kerry appealed for an end to the TV advertising war that has marked his election battle against President George W. Bush.

Bush called for an end to all 527 ads, looks like Kerry’s finally on the bandwagon as well.

Kerry said the avalanche of negative television spots and attacks being shown on US screens was scaring off voters.

“Americans need a real conversation over our future,” Kerry said in a speech at a school in Spring Green, Wisconsin.

I’d have to agree. I’m not in favor of banning negative advertising, but enough over a period of time can desensitize some folks to politics in general. We do need a conversation, a debate.

“I’m calling them ‘misleadisments,'” Kerry said of the adverts. “It’s all scare tactics … because (Bush) has no record to run on.”

Ah, so now we see what Kerry really means! He’s only against Bush’s negative ads, not his own. Gotta understand the code words he uses to find out what he really means by “conversation”. What he really wants is a monologue; his monologue.
