| Today, Senator Daniel Inouye, the Ranking Member of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee and a recipient of the Medal of Honor for his service in World War II, released the following statement: "As a Veteran of World War II, I know what it’s like to fight a war and put your life on the line every day. I also know what it takes to win a war, and I know that politics and an attack machine like the President’s plays no part in it. But it's OK for your party to try to lose the war... "The Republican Party’s latest ad is a shameful and disgusting attempt to distract the American people from the problems in Iraq. It may improve the President’s political fortunes, but the American people and our troops will pay the price. I hope that President Bush realizes how shameful it is to play politics when what we really need is leadership, and that he will direct his Party to take down this ad immediately." |

| #15 "I know that politics and an attack machine like the President’s plays no part in it." You can't say that with a straight face. I think it's time Hawaii let Dan ride off into the sunset. No quotes out of context just theri own unedited words. |

| #14 With the Dems, its the old transfer function from advertizing. I was a big shot for some reason, so believe me, and do not pay attention to the facts. I was a famous cowboy in the movies, so eat this brand of cereal. |

| #13 The Dems trot out these old war horses who proceed to pawn their past glories for cheap political currency, and defeatest propaganda at that! These "men" should be ashamed of themselves - As a genuine patriot said. "...may posterity forget that they were our countrymen." |

| #12 (a) He was a 'hero' 60 years ago. That doesn't make him one today. (b) He is too damn old to be a Senator. (c) The words are right out of their own mouths. No "attack ad" here. Just direct quotes not removed from context. (d)I'll vote for a warm bucket of spit before I ever vote for any Democrat again. It's the party of the totally untrustworthy. (e)Senator Daniel Inouye you can FOAD. |

| #11 Pappy, it seems I needed to include the [tongue in cheek] and [/tongue in cheek] tags. *I* would feel smeared because I would never say such things in the first place. *They* have no such grounds for complaint. |

| #10 Inouye is yet proving again that old war hero's don't make good politicians. As soon as the vote in Iraq turns out to be grand Inouye will be grandstanding his contributions! Dito Frank-STFU Senator! |

| #9 didn't Inouye and John Glenn use up all their patriotic good will in defending Clinton/Gore over ChiCom campaign contributions? STFU Senator |

| #7 Well, I've got to admit that if someone alleged *I* said those sorts of things I'd feel smeared ... 1. Don't recall Senator Inouye telling his fellow Democrats 'stop'. 2. There's a (D) after his name. Last I checked it didn't stand for 'Democrat (when it's convenient)'. Telling Republicans to pull an ad and ignoring that members of your own party made the statements in that ad is hypocritical. |

| #5 This is absolutely hilarious. Replay their own words, and the Democrats see it as some kind of smear campaign. |

| #4 as a veteran, Senator, you should be ashamed at the lack of effort you've put forth to direct your party to victory for America first, party second. *spit* |

| #2 Bush's "attack ad" that did nothing more than repeat what the Dums had said on the record was not front page Aljizz. The Dums statements however were front page Aljizz. By the way incase anyone dont know Aljizz is a known AQ and Radical Islamic propoganda mouth piece, so when they use US politicians quotes in thier stories it aint to boost the US effort but it goes along way to boost the terrorist effort. |

| #1 ...the American people and our troops will pay the price. How does a TV ad showing Democrats making public statements hurt us or our troops? You Dumbocrats need to look in the mirror, Danny. |
