DNC: Drop "President" from Bush campaign ads
2004-03-10
ScrappleFace, natch.
(2004-03-09) -- After slamming the Bush-Cheney 2004 re-election campaign for its use of 9/11 imagery in campaign ads, the Democrat National Committee (DNC) today again demanded that the ads be pulled, this time because they refer to Mr. Bush as "president."

Indeed, a review of the commercials shows that some do include the term "president" immediately before the surname "Bush." Juxtaposed with images of former Texas Governor George W. Bush, it seems clear that the spots do not refer to former President George H.W. Bush, but rather to his son, who did not actually win the popular vote in 2000.

"These ads are deeply cynical," said DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe. "Some families of the victims of the 2000 election have come to me, weeping because the commercials reminded them of that tragic time."

#7  Yeah, it's Scrappleface, but the only reason they probably haven't tried it is that nobody ever thought of it.

#4  Dan, there was a newspaper article stating that a week ago and saying how it would be constitutional and all because he wouldn't be trying for the office of President. But as Danny pointed out the Constitution also knocks the plan out of the water. And Clinton himself said he doesn't seek any higher office.

I think Clinton's gonna fish for Secretary General of the UN. The world loves him, the US has never had a Secretary General and he's the first one I think would gain broad international support. And it would appear to him and all his tranzi friends that the Secretary General is a step up from President.

#3  Clinton could not be VP since to be VP, according to the Constitution, the person must be eligible to be president, which Clinton is not.

#1  it is incredible how the DNC willfully ignores how a pres is elected...it is through electoral votes....where was the outcry from the DNC when Kennedy won the electoral votes but lost the popular vote to no other than Nixon..............

also just heard some talk that clinton wants to be keryy's vp....now if kerry dies in office then the vp would be pres (unless the vp also dies).....now wouldn't that go against the constitution...only two terms for a pres.....this is an example of how far the dnc will go to win the pres....doesn't matter if you trample on the constitution..just get Bush out of there......personally I do not believe kerry believes in the constitution....
