Cowards hide behind children

Attila the Hun was one of the most terrifying individuals during the dark ages.  His tactics were brutal and often gruesome to watch.  One of his most favorite methods was to take men he had captured from a city he was about to invade and strap them to the front of his wagons.  As they invaded, the men guarding the city were unable to fire back as they were afraid of killing their own people.  This gave Attila the advantage in laying siege to the city.

In today's political landscape, these methods have not gone away (only the medium has changed).   Many political ads (starting as early as 1960 with the use of the girl picking daisies) have used children as political messengers.  They go on TV and read scripts handed to them saying:

- Why do you want to destroy my school?
- Why do you want to fire my teacher?
- Don't take my home away.
- We want clean air to breath and clean water to drink
- Why do you want to take my Dad's job away!
- If my mom doesn't have healthcare she will die!

Using them as political messengers it prevents the other side from debating the actual merits of what is being proposed. 

To me, ONLY COWARDS USE CHILDREN!!

These issues are ADULT ISSUES and need to be DISCUSSED BY ADULTS!

Next time you see an ad using children (Democrat or Republican) call the people who made the ad and tell them that they are COWARDS and are exploiting children for their own enjoyment.
