Bush Ad Scripts Test New Law and Tough Approach
By Dana Milbank
(c) 2004, The Washington Post

President Bush is preparing to revive some of the bare-knuckled politics he used during the 2002 midterm elections by suggesting that Democrats are opposed to keeping the nation secure.

That is the early indication from ad scripts Bush-Cheney '04 filed this month with the Federal Election Commission. The ads, in which Bush endorses a congressional candidate, indicate that Bush plans, once again, to inject himself heavily into congressional races.

``American values. If you share the values of President Bush, you're going to like Alice Forgy Kerr,'' begins one script submitted to the FEC, referring to a Kentucky congressional candidate. ``They are cut from the same cloth. While others attack the president's economic program, and his fight to protect our national security, Alice Forgy Kerr stands with President Bush.''

With footage of Bush and the candidate walking and talking together, the ad continues: ``Unlike her opponent, Alice supported the Bush tax cuts that are now triggering new jobs and economic growth. Alice Forgy Kerr is the only candidate who will work with President Bush.'' Other ads featuring Bush's endorsement of Kerr show the candidate vowing, ``I absolutely support President Bush's tax cuts,'' and saying, ``President Bush's prescription drug law is such a godsend to seniors.''

1. And the sheeple

will lap it up like cream.

2. Gross! Hopefully by July the best bet will be to distance themselves

from the dribbling idiot! I hope that his approval ratings tank and he becomes a liability not an asset.

I just can't stomach anymore of this "with us or against us" bs.

3. If you believe Bush serves anyone other than "his own",...

,...you are not paying attention. Read his lips,...then, witness his actions. If you are paying attention, you will know that he definitely serves something other than the American people. If you concentrate on his lips,...they are very "purty". What is it that you stake your life and the future of your family and country upon: words or action?

4. this line might be risky:

"If you share the values of President Bush, you're going to like Alice Forgy Kerr"


It depends on how many people know what the values of President Bush are. Not very many people have those values.
