Get Ready for the Negative Ads

Well, the US Chamber of Commerce said it will drop its normal "neutral" stance if Edwards is picked as the Democratic Nominee. With their current attack on consumer rights, a trial lawyer VP is just too much to swallow. The US Chamber is known for dumping MILLION$ into campaigns, mostly to fill the air with negative ads. don't expect this to be any different. we can expect the sleaze factor to go up by 10 compared to the last 90 days which saw a blitz of Bush ads, virtually all attacks on Kerry.

Here's hoping this crap...and bush's lack of a record...will create a little backlash. from the WSJ link above:

Tom Donohue, head of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, has made a public vow: If John Edwards is chosen as John Kerry's running mate, the chamber will abandon its traditional stance of neutrality in the presidential race and work feverishly to defeat the Democratic ticket. "We'd get the best people and the greatest assets we can rally" to the cause, he says.

Other business leaders in Washington have been less public and less precise, but no less passionate. Reviewing the candidates in the Democratic primaries earlier this year, a Fortune 100 chief executive who is active in Washington told me that Mr. Edwards, the North Carolina senator, "is the one we fear the most" -- more than John Kerry, more than Dick Gephardt, more than Howard Dean
Damn right they're worried about him. They don't like any little thing...especially us 'citizens' standing in the way of any good profiteering.

I can't wait to get my country back.
