T.Boone Pickens
I take it, that the McCain-Palin ads are on the way?
Let me get this right, we have T Boone Pickens, who funded George W Bush political campaigns and ponied up money for those vile anti Kerry ads, advertising on Dkos.
Are you quite comfortable with a man who used to slip Karl Rove greenbacks, trying to rake in some extra cash?
One of the reason why George W Bush won in 2000 and 2004, was because people like Pickens, threw large amounts of cash, into sham organisations who smeared Gore and Kerry.
Having a " Lee Atwater " moment, doesn't innoculate a person from funding the right for well over twenty five years. It may be a delayed form of buyer's remorse, but when you have spent decades putting conservatives in government, so they can destroy the US from within the inside, isn't it a case of a dollar and a day late.
Don't you think President Gore, would have invaded Iraq?
Pickens ad, is a sympton of the odd relationship, people on Dkos have with John Kerry. Over the last few weeks, Kerry has been lauded as one of Obama's most effective surrogates, hammering out a message that McCain is not a leader.
I remember not so long ago, people where throwing John Kerry under the bus, making him, have to play out, a primary, because Ed O'Reilly wanted to be famous and demean Kerry's work in the Senate.
Do I take it, Obama feels Ed O'Reilly is not effective, when it comes to communicating a message, to the American people?
Obama met Pickens, and should have chastised him for funding a man who never went to vietnam, and went back on his pledge to pay Kerry a million dollars.
