he hugs me in a very special way everytime he hits a homer or makes an amazing play in the field vs. the freaking cahdnals!!!!
Emotions... Bush entire campaign is centered around emotions. This ad, by his supporters, continues the theme. The primary emotional focus of the Bush campaign is fear. This huge ad buy is a companion to fear... tugging on our heartstrings, and yet, by evoking the horrific cost of 9/11, it also uses fear as more of a back-story to the tragedy suffered by this family, as well as so many other families, and the tragedy inflicted upon the nation as a whole. The Bush campaign's use of emotions, instead of running on his record and the broad range of issues facing the country, reminds me of a gifted writer of science fiction, L. E. Modesitt, Jr. If anyone wants to look into what I believe we are seeing here, read his Archform:Beauty. Don't misunderstand me. The Kerry campaign, and his supporters, are certainly running on your emotions as well. In my opinion, however, it is merely a part of their campaign, not the one central focus that emotion has become for Bush, Rove, and their comrades. Keep D&D Civil!!
It sounds like a good ad for Bush. Very positive. I wish all political ads focused on their canidate. I won't vote for him, but a good ad anyway. Go Green!
i dunno. aside from the 7 minute sit in, he flew around the country hiding in air force one. he didn't address the American people until later that night. he didn't go to NYC until 3 days after. that's 4 things that i don't consider to be examples of great leadership.
Talk about revisionist history. Take a look at the president's approval ratings and marks on leadership after that period. Your opinion is clearly in the minority.
