Wow. The Bush administration is clearly going off the deep end. They are now using their passion for negative ads against their fellow Republicans (like Mitch McConnell who said that come September we'd better be changing course in Iraq). And, of course, it's all about Iraq. They are doing it through some phantom organization called "Freedom's Watch." The spokesperson for the group is none other than Bush spinmeister Ari Fleischer:
Freedom's Watch, a conservative group, plans to launch a $15 million advertising campaign in 20 states today. The group's spokesman, former Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer, says the goal is to tell people that the buildup of U.S. troops in Iraq is working.
"We want to get the message to both Democrats and Republicans: Don't cut and run, fully fund the troops, and victory is the only objective," Fleischer says.
Um, yeah, we've heard that from Ari Fleischer before....when he was the Bush mouth piece. Same old Bush talking points.
Iraq has always been a political issue for the Bush team. Who knew they'd aim their political fire at Republicans. They must be losing the support of GOP members of Congress in droves. That makes sense because Congress has been home -- and the Republican Representatives and Senators have probably been getting the crap kicked out of them for sticking with Bush on Iraq. So, now the Republicans are turning on each other.
