Club For Growth Attacks Dean...And Dean Is Already Ready For Them!

[Khephra]

Special Interests Attack Dean
Just two weeks ago, the RNC launched an ad in Iowa questioning the patriotism of those who opposed this president's reckless foriegn policy. Bush attacked-- and you responded, raising more than $608,000 to tell the truth about what Bush has done to our country.

And today, they're at it again. The Club for Growth-- a corporate-backed group whose goal is "to bundle campaign donations for pro-business Republicans"-- is attacking Howard Dean by name in television ads that are going up in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Last month, you declared your independence from the special interests. Now they're trying to define and distort Howard Dean's record in an attempt to slow your campaign.

Don't let them.

The Dean campaign is responding immediately, combating the false accusations of Bush's special interests by preparing a television ad of our own:

Title: “Club for Truth”
Length: 30 seconds
Video: Image of George Bush over a closed factory; footage from Club for Growth ad; footage of Howard Dean on the campaign trail.

Audio:

George Bush.

His economic policies created the largest deficit in our county's history.

Now he's hiding behind negative ads that falsely attack Howard Dean.

The Truth?

Howard Dean balanced budgets 11 years in a row. He's a fiscal conservative who cut state income taxes—twice. Raised the minimum wage. And provided health care coverage for nearly every child in his state.

I'm Howard Dean. I approved this message because they’re not trying to stop me, they’re trying to stop you.

6. awww...please stay!

:hi: In a way, we're a lot like the Dean campaign, we respond very fast to whatever news come out of there and I think that's good.

4. Dean's buddy, Stephen Moore from CATO is playing the "inevitability" card.

This whole Dem primary has been played. Have fun destroying the Dem party.

8. Maybe BLM

Just maybe, if you'd spent more time outside of DU helping Kerry and his campaign, instead of wallowing in your cesspool of bitterness here, then his campaign wouldn't be where it is today, that is to say, in the gutter. :shrug: Just an observation.

5. ROCK ON!

God, I love this campaign.


They're FIGHTERS and they never cease to impress me.
