The mere fact that such an ad could have an effect on who people elect is a testament to how far you guys have to go before liberating yourselves from the handcuffs that bind your government to organized religion. It's repugnant to watch such an advanced country hanging on to a mid-evil power structure.

** Dole Manager: Why We Ran 'Godless' Ad **

....."we wanted to show what crooked douchebags we are"......

Why is this first page? No Palin or Rush articles? Pathetic.

Rcade, did you mean to link to a google search?

Actually, I think it speaks more about how desperate campaigns can get. Anything to win.

Actually, an interesting look at inside campaigns.

And 57 percent of those who voted for Hagan never punched her name, they voted a straight Democratic Party vote.

I'm sure the number is similiar for the Republicans but didn't realize it would be that high.

Rcade, did you mean to link to a google search?

Oops. Fixed.

Does this really need an explanation?

They were trying to win an election and took the low road. This surprises anyone?

only problem is the one of the only thing many people will remember about Dole is her desperate "godless" commercial. Not a way to go down in history

Adds like this are the reason that people are losing there religion it is disgusting. when religion becomes more about politics then saving souls no wonder so many people run from it. I am a christian and this has nothing to do with religion and the fact they are trying to take advantage of the faithfull through Sick adds like this is an insult to christians everywhere

She was just mimicking her husband's 'erectionless' ads.

"when religion becomes more about politics then saving souls"

Your Jesus Christ can't save my soul.

Not in her home state it isn't, because it worked.

It did work, right?

Never mind. Apparently NC agreed with you.

"Your Jesus Christ can't save my soul..."

You have one?

This reminds me of the Iraq War. Libby obviously thought of this ad as being a form of WMD, not be used until the palace was being over-run.

Real Christians are okay with talking to atheists. This was a stupid man using a stupid tactic. And then following up with a stupid rationalization.

Dole was a fool and her absence from government is a blessing for us all especially since one less Bush Republican in the Senate makes it easier to get on with the urgently needed legislation to initiate recovery. Her opponent's Christian beliefs were well known, she had been a Sunday School teacher and a Girl Scout leader and Dole authorizes her hack of a campaign manager to use the God card against her?? Even if her opponent had been none of these things North Carolina might no longer be far south enough to play the God card to win.

I'm betting a beer that he did that in the nude.

After reading the bogus rationalization of the Dole campaign for running a smear ad, and then seeing Dole get stomped in the election, I had one thought, "There is a God!!!"

so will Libby go carpetbagging again for a senate seat, and if so, where and will she have to roshambo Alan Keyes for the nomination?

I saw the video showing the ad. It cost Elizabeth Dole her Senate seat.

Tasteless and tacky ad. She was an idiot to run it.

I'm betting a beer that he did that in the nude.

It was a search of a quote by the Dole manager, not a search for libertarian midget ninja porn.

One of the best things that happened in North Carolina for years - getting Mrs. Dole out of the Senate.

I'm throwing the bullshit flag on this one.

They used this because they thought that the majority of americans being of the christian faith that that meant they were also of the 'Neo-cons are the keepers of Jesus and all things holy' faith too.

Of course it worked in the Carolinas. They think hitler was a pussy liberal.

The irony is that her ad was the first concrete example, for all to see, of the depravity that the neo-cons have brought to a once proud religion.

I can't stand christians, in general, but in their defence, they deserve better, because most of them are better than this.

I'm betting a beer that he did that in the nude.

I did a search for "libertarian midget ninja porn".

No hits unfortunately, or should I say fortunately? Now you know of a niche market that hasn't been tapped into! The difficult part is finding hot libertarian midgets that are ninja's willing to do porn.

Her communications director worked for Rick Lazio?
Nothing more needs to be said. I think Rick is now
working for Ringling Brothers.
