*retching* Oh the humanity! Bush's new ads

[GreenPartyVoter]

"One of the things that must never change is the entrepreneurial spirit of America. This country needs a president who clearly sees that," Bush says in one ad, according to transcripts provided by the campaign.

"And as the economy grows, the job base grows, and somebody who's looking for work will be more likely to find a job. I know exactly where I want to lead this country."

In another ad, video and graphics list a series of challenges the country has faced since Bush took office in January 2001, including "an economy in recession, a stock market in decline," the dot-com boom and the September 11 attacks, "a test for all Americans."

"Today, America is turning the corner. Rising to the challenge," the graphics say. "Safer, stronger. President Bush. Steady leadership in times of change."

In the third ad, a voice says, "The last few years have tested America in many ways.

"America rose to the challenge. What sees us through tough times? Freedom, faith, families and sacrifice."

The ad ends with the voice saying, "President Bush. Steady leadership in times of change."

"America rose to the challenge. What sees us through tough times? Freedom (or lack of it, vis-a-vis the Patriot Act), faith (our fundamentalist one), families (straight ones) and sacrifice (your tax dollars and social security trust fund and sons and daughters: none for the wealthy)"

6. suggested Kerry response:

Mr. Bush says he represents "Steady Leadership in Time of Change." I say: It Is Time to Change to Steady LEADERSHIP

[maggrwaggr]

7. Kerry's response need to be to simply be on the offensive

in other words, not respond at all.

Smash Bush, put him on the ropes, pound him till he's bloody, don't let him get up, drive a wooden fucking stake through his heart (metaphorically speaking of course), and piss in his bloody dead mouth.

Take no prisoners.

8. Smash Bush but also say how he is going to do it better.

Can't be all negative. Gotta show he has a plan.

9. Since his bloody dead mouth

is already open, may I pinch a loaf in said hole?

10. "Sacrifice"?

Yes, on the part of those poor families who have lost sons and daughters in the various wars, plus in law enforcement and other first responder positions.

But there has been NO sacrifice demanded of the well-heeled. On the contrary, their tax burden has been lightened.

SHAME on Bush for daring to use the S word. SHAME on him.

16. Agreed, his actions and word choices are shameful

and then some.
