Bush is going hogwild with his negative ads !
I have had cable television on today and I'll bet Bush's ads have run 15-20 times already! He's putting all his faith in his negative ads, it appears? Has anyone else noticed these ads? Bush and Rove must be scratching their heads trying to figure out why these ads are not tearing down their opponent in the polls? Musta pissed somebody off sometime?

You know: "Let the Eagle Soar."

2. also, he is not one who pays any attention to history and may not
believe negative ads ultimately will do him in.

7. You can't run positive ads when you haven't accomplished anything
other than thousands of dead innocent victims, world wide fear, and corrupt business deals.

8. It is a surefire losing strategy.
When someone you don't trust tells you not to trust someone you don't know, who do you trust?

19. He does the same crap in O-H-I-O
I then hear the rat bastard talking how he wants to be a "peace president" and it will take him four more years to do so. What a douche. Doesn't he realize that he can be a peace president now (well its a little late) but could have been. Remember, he had "war on his mind" lol

11. Murphy sez:: Sooner or Later, neg adds will be the reason for Toast City
The Pubs have only one card left, the Neg Card. They have no choice but to keep going Neg.... thats all they have....

Bush tried the Peace Card.... Procused howling laughter and derusion

He has tried the Economic Card....that was a Flop.

He has gone to the Fear Route, only made people aware that despite all this spending, we are still a step from ORANGE ALERT.

He cannot use the Environment Card...not with him refusing the Kyoto Accord.

The Terror Card is waning

The Common Sense Card is missing.

The Class Card shows him Lacking.

The Strong Leadership Card is a Joke.

The Brain Card is long gone, he is lacking smarts for sure.

The God Card was tried...If God Talks to him, how come God didn't tell him where to look for the WMD??

It is Destiney, W will lose this one. Nothing can prevent it.

He is too out of touch and coupled with an absence of Reading...The Bush is Toast.

12. Reponsive ad idea?

<start>

"George W. Bush has been saying a lot of nasty things about John Kerry lately. So, we here at the Kerry campaign just wanted to remind America about some other things George W. Bush has said:

<begin Daily-Show-style montage>

"Weapons of Mass Destruction".
"Saddam Hussein", "Al Qaeda".
"Harboring terrorists".
(...)
"The economy is fundamentally strong".
"Uranium from Africa".

<end montage>

"Let's face it, America: George W. Bush says a lot of things."

("fool me ... can't get fooled again!")

<end>

14. Me neither.
And I haven't seen a positive Bush one (unless you count the McCain ad as positive - "First Choice" my ass).

15. Yes, here in Hawaii, it is Bush on cable
24 hrs a day, with negative ads...

never have seen a positive ad from Bush.

It looks pathetic, IMO.

16. I live in northern CA
and I saw a negative ad from Bush and was pretty upset. Then I saw the ad where Edwards talks about Kerry and I started shouting "Yes!" Only an idiot could fail to see the difference between the ads--and the candidates.

17. I heard one of his radio ads today
Funny thing is, it was on an adult R&B station that targets the inner city.

Yeah, right - like they're gonna vote for Bush!

C'mon, George - keep throwing away that money!

18. He's spent something like $150 million
And he is, at best, in a dead heat with Kerry in national polls, depending which one you pick.

Yet Kerry leads in the Electoral College which is what really matters.

I try to hit the mute button before I hear that voice say "I'm George W Bush and I approved this message" just so I dont have to listen!

20. Thank God...
New Jersey isn't in play. Up here in North Joisey, we get NYC stations, and that's not in play either.

Haven't seen a Shrub ad yet, but that may change after the conventions.
