BUSH CAMPAIGN: VOTE FOR CHANGE
By Stockton
Opening a new, positive line for his campaign, President Bush announced over the weekend that a vote for his re-election was a vote for change. "Vote for me for newness and oldness be gone," said the President. "Y'all don't like all the cabinet guys I got and if you don't like em' then they aren't liked."
The new campaign message was aired in a series of television commercials in "battleground" states. One such advertisement showed visuals of warfare, explosions and injured children and included a voice-over intoning: "Rumsfeld has brought death and destruction all over the world: Vote Bush to put an end to the madness." Another showed alternating footage of John Kerry and Colin Powell in Vietnam with "War Mongers!" written across the screen.
Republican strategists expressed high hopes for the ads: "People will come to realize that if it weren't for nattering nabobs in the cabinet, we'd be experiencing a forty percent annual growth rate and peace and prosperity around the world. These ads demonstrate that."
