Why are we accepting advertising from T. Boone Pickens?
Hey I know money is tight but hey this is the guy that talked a huge amount of crap about John Kerry. Are we willing to take the money from a guy who never served in the military but was happy to accept the Swift Boat attacks as fact? Well what can I say I guess the dollar wins out always.

5. Every time I see him in his ads here in VA
I can't help but remember he was responsible for Swift Boat Attacks. He will never get any support from me.

6. Every dollar that scum sends supporting this site is one less dollar
going to run those ads on wingnut sites.

He is not convincing anyone here and the dollars he spends doing it helps DU.
