radio commercial--- some woman's voice saying how hard it is for moms to afford drugs due to Bush not allowing Canandian pharmaceuticals. I was ??????? Definitely Kerry trying to get the female soccer mom vote. But I had a hard time connecting the hard for "moms" to afford drugs. It was too blatant of a reach for me and appeared just stupid advertising. If the commericial would have just said "Americans" not "moms" it would have been okay.

mailed flyer: Kerry in hunter gear. "John Kerry supports Wisconsin Hunters". This was addressed to me. Should have mailed me JK on his bike (photo-shop a helmut though)

On the topic of worst commercials or political ads...

OK Senate Candidate Brad Carson (D) has been running a smear campaign against Dr. Tom Coburn (R). One of the ads shows newspaper article quotes where Tom Coburn said that the US has more important things to worry about than terrorism. The very very fine print of the quote is from March, 1996. I have a hard time reading the fine print on my 48" wide screen television from the chair with my glasses on. The other quotes in the ad are from the same time frame.

If anything, these ads project that Carson and his camp are pretty desperate as they can't find anything current that is detrimental to his opponent.

Corrections:
1) The Communist party is about as prevalent and viable in Canada as it is in the US.

2) Canada has a parliamentary style of government, like Great Britain. Very unCommunist.

3) With their emphasis on social reform, Canadian government has more Socialist qualities than Communist.

4) Communism does not follow a liberal agenda.

And the main differences between Communism and Socialism as you understand them are.....?
