	Bush's First TV Ads! (Sneak Preview) Remove this text

That's right... they air tomorrow, but we lucky devils can view and poke fun at them today!

quote: Tomorrow, the first Bush-Cheney television ads will begin running all over the country. Unlike the Kerry campaign's first ads last September, which included an attack on the President, our first ads are all positive, focusing on President Bush's steady leadership in times of change. As a valued member of the President's team, you are receiving a special preview of these first three television ads. To view the ads, please go here: http://www.GeorgeWBush.com/TVAds/ Thank you for your continued support. We're counting on you to help re-elect President Bush this November. Sincerely, Ken Mehlman Campaign Manager Bush-Cheney '04

While I supported the guy in 2000 and probably will in '04. (been waiting to see what the dem's have to offer, now waiting to hear what Kerry has to say) everyone can at least get to watch 'em if they want to...

And here are the ad scripts if you don't feel like actually watching them:

quote: Bush-Cheney '04 Ad Scripts Bush-Cheney '04 TV: 60 "Lead" President Bush: One of the things that must never change is the entrepreneurial spirit of America. This country needs a President who clearly sees that. Laura Bush: The strength, the focus, the characteristics that these times demand. President Bush: 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; I know what we need to do to make the world more free and more peaceful. I know what we need to do to make sure every person has a chance at realizing the American dream. I know what we need to do to continue economic growth so people can find work, to raise the standards at schools so children can learn, to fulfill the promise to America's seniors. Americans are hard working, decent, generous people. I'm optimistic about America because I believe in the people of America. President Bush: I'm President Bush and I approve of this message. Bush-Cheney '04 TV: 30 "Safer, Stronger" President Bush: I'm George W. Bush and I approve this message. Graphics: January 2001: The challenge: An economy in recession. A stock market in decline. A dot com boom....gone bust. Then... A day of tragedy. A test for all Americans. Today, America is turning the corner. Rising to the challenge. Safer, stronger. President Bush. Steady leadership in times of change. Bush-Cheney '04 TV: 30 "Safer, Stronger - Spanish" President Bush: Soy George W. Bush y aprobé este mensaje. Graphics: Enero del 2001: El Reto Una economía en recesión. La bolsa financiera en declive. La bonanza de los punto com en bancarrota. Y luego... un día trágico Fue una prueba de nuestro valor. Hoy, nuestro país se mueve hacia delante. Estamos más seguros. Más fuertes. Con el Presidente Bush. Vamos por buen camino. Bush-Cheney '04 TV: 30 "Tested" President Bush: I'm George W. Bush and I approve this message. VO: The last few years have tested America in many ways. Some challenges we've seen before. And some were like no others. But America rose to the challenge. What sees us through tough times? Freedom, faith, families, and sacrifice. President Bush. Steady leadership in times of change.

It's going to be a looooong year, isn't it?

Did it then because he had a good social security plan which he has yet to implement.

Most certainly have to wait until some actual platforms are set up as opposed to simply pimping themselves out like it's been thus far.

It's technology that doesn't make something blow up, of course a Republican can't use it very well (I'm a Mac user, so I am slamming myself too. )

Eeeeeeew. Exactly like I expected them. But I guess it's the nature of politics overall and not just a Republican things.

Good commercials.

Looks like he's planning to run on an "it's getting better" platform. This will look increasingly smart as the year wears on.

When you say they're good, what are the criteria on which you base your conclusions?

Stick with the status quo is about all he has, currently. We'll see if it does or does not bite him in the rear in the end (pun intented.)

I can't wait to see the ads where Bush will emphasize that Americans are tired of drinking clean water, breathing clean air, and convince Americans that the Republican party is naturally the exclusive party solely responsible for securing our nation against further terrorist attacks.

Why should he?

Studies show air quality & water quality have markedly improved over the last decades.

as for the other,
All he needs do is ask what is Democrats plan is for addressing terracts?

If there is a plan more than "treat it as a policing matter" the Dem plan can then be debated.

Pitiful troll Fun.

Ah, the old "don't change captains at this point" campaign.... Bush will be very tough to beat due not only to the huge bankroll he has, but becuase he has set up a formidable campaign machinery and he has all the perks of the incumbency.

Positives. Relies on Bush's record. Effective in getting the message across. Relatively uncheesy for a campaign ad (this is an easy comparison, mind you).

Negatives. Doesn't say much about what he will do.

Not really. Those are structural advantages he has-he has raise 130 million, will have well over 200 million to spend: over the last four years they have been building a strong grassroots machine, which is very important in terms of getting the vote out on election day, which is actually THE MOST important thing of all, and on top of that, he gets endless free Press since he is after all Commander in Chief.

I dunno. Some of the MoveOn ads were pretty good.
