Shoot 'em Up, Vote for Bush
Associated Press Page 1 of 1

WASHINGTON -- A Republican ad criticizing Democrat John Kerry is on an Internet video-game site in which a player can pretend to be a cartoon President Bush killing terrorists who have invaded the White House.

The ad, sponsored by the Republican National Committee, is shown at various times above and below the game called Bush Shoot-Out: Starring President Bush and Condoleezza Rice, one of several free video games offered on the website Miniclip.com.

3. Harrison Ford, he ain't

...not even any MANLY-MAN BULGES in his TIGHT JEANS for the FOXES to admire! (Player's hint: if you hold down CTRL-SHIFT-ALT-F3-BACKSPACE and right-click at the same time, he runs off to Cheney's Bunker and hides under the La-Z-Boy recliner with a bag of pretzels and a six-pack of Lone Star. Much Hilarity Ensues as Cheney, the entire Cabinet, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff try to drag him out!)

6. I hate to say this but, it might not be a bad idea
to put a free political game on a "Free Game Site". It is at least noticed by a fairly large group of younger gamers. Remember...a lot of these gamers are over 18 and can vote, but certainly don't pay attention to news, or talk shows!

I think this is a possible way to get their attention.

Maybe a game that shows Kerry & Bush, each with their own stock car, with the game rigged so the Bush car can't ever win!
