The Bush 'Re-elect me, Why Vote for the Lesser Evil?' campaign has released their first three TV Ads including 'Safer, Stronger', the ad that directly invokes Sept. 11th (and is the only one of the three that is available in another language, Spanish. Coincidence?). "Ah'm George Dubya Bush, and ah approved this message" drawls President Bush. He might want to rethink that because it reminded me of the little kid that says "I made this!" at the end of X-Files.
January 2001: The challenge. An economy in recession. A stock market in decline. A dot come boom gone bust. Then... a day of tragedy. A test for all Americans. Today, America is turning the corner. Rising to the challenge. Safer, stronger. (Shot of baby smiling in back seat), President Bush. Steady Leadership in times of change.
So basically, their line would appear to be that it was actually Clinton that had fucked up the economy, not them and that a crew of people who have been circumspect about what they were doing when they were supposed to be doing some sort of military service are better to lead you in a time of military strife rather than someone who actually went and fought in Vietnam.
Another one talks in rather sick-making terms about how President Bush is the one that 'knows what we need to do to ensure that everyone has a chance of realising the American dream', if there was any honesty his next words would have to be either 'unless they're fags' or 'providing they get some sort of treatment to stop being gay'.
Update: The firemen are pissed off, both with Bush for using Sept. 11th anyway and for him using images of them when he's cut back on their funding.
However, what will certainly be a relief for Dubya is that one of his party representatives did not say a vote for John Kerry was a vote for Hitler. It would be a victory for Osama Bin Laden. So that's all right then. [via Metafilter.]
