Lieberman Unveils New N.H. Ad, Continuing Vow to Take Country Forward, Not Backward
Joe: "I am more determined than ever to fight for what's right."
ARLINGTON, VA -- Joe Lieberman's campaign unveiled a new New Hampshire television ad today, continuing Lieberman's promise to take the country forward, not backward -- a contrast to Howard Dean, who would reverse the gains made under Bill Clinton.
I know how to unite America again -- and take us forward, not backward, Lieberman says in the ad. I am more determined than ever to fight for what's right for you.
The ad touts Lieberman's solid progressive record, including his strong environmental, civil rights, and pro-choice advocacy. It also draws distinctions between Lieberman and the rest of the field, on Lieberman's strength on defense and security, and his unique plan to cut taxes for 98 percent of Americans.
Finally, the ad describes Lieberman as a man of rock solid integrity, which follows on the heels of a new Franklin Pierce College poll showing that integrity, not electability, is the most sought-after quality among New Hampshire voters.
The ad builds on Lieberman's speech yesterday in Manchester, New Hampshire, in which he warned that in countless areas of domestic and foreign policy, Dean would take the Democratic party and the country backwards. Lieberman's speech was his most comprehensive effort to date to highlight the serious differences between himself and Dean.
The ad, which includes footage from Lieberman's recent unedited televised town hall that aired last weekend on WMUR-TV, can be viewed at joe2004
