Congressional Veterans for
Truth

The following is a TV commercial
developed and paid for by concerned, nonpartisan American citizens...
Congressional Veteran 1: I'm a former member of the US Congress
who is concerned about the lies and distortions being spread by people you trusted!
Congressional Veteran 2: I'm a former Congressional
Representative, too. I used to serve in the same House of
Representatives as Paul Bereuter, and I can tell you that he never
fairly won an election in his life. In fact, I've sworn out an
affidavit to that effect.
Congressional Veteran 3: Now, we're all Republicans, like Paul
Bereuter, so you know that this vicious smear isn't politically
motivated.
CV1: That's right. And not only did he cheat to win all of
his elections, but he lied about his tenure to get that Vice
Chairmanship of the House Intelligence Committee.
CV2: Yeah, he couldn't possibly have been in Congress that
long. And he doesn't know a thing
about intelligence.
CV1: Yeah, that's a very important point. Remember: Doesn't know jack about intelligence!
CV2: Right. What he said. Cause we were there, and he didn't know
intelligence, I can tell you.
CV3: And he must've been playing footsie with the Democrats to
get on the House International Relations Committee. Of course,
we're strictly nonpartisan.
CV1: Here's another thing to remember about Paul Bereuter: Doesn't know jack about international
relations. Ok? Got it?
CV2: So then, he flip-flops.
CV3: Nothing worse than a flip-flopper.
CV2: Right. First, he votes to authorize the use of force
in Iraq, then, when the going gets tough, he flip-flops.
CV3: So pay no attention to that letter of his. It's a load
of flip-flopping crap.
CV1: Anyway, how can it be true? It's just a lousy letter
that got printed in a few liberal newspapers.
CV2: Yeah, all patriotic Americans recognize Truth. Truth
is what you see on TV, and it has to cost 800 gazillion dollars.
Like this commercial.
CV1: So remember us when you go to the polls. Don't listen
to flip-flopping terrorist symps. Vote Bush/Cheney.

War in Iraq not justified, by Don Walton
"I've reached the
conclusion, retrospectively, now
that the inadequate intelligence and faulty conclusions are being
revealed, that all things being considered, it was a mistake to launch
that military action," Bereuter wrote in a letter to constituents
in
the final days of his congressional career.
