You can't win an election with just your base. You have to try to appeal to people outside your base to win.
I doubt the Bush twins' attempt at humor is going to make many people vote for Kerry.
And if you think that someone didn't write their material, you're mistaken. It was scripted -- and targeted at a particular audience. You might just not be in it.
if you saw it on TV, they were stupid yeah but great way to setup the intro with the Pres. live, baseball game goin' on in the background, daddy+camping trip we never had+daddys workin image' .. that was all worth it.
I gotta admit, it was painful for me to watch. I had a high puckker factor before hand because I knew the world would analyze every word to death. One of the things conservatives have to fight every day is the myth that we are to "dumb" to see liberal intellectual superiority. By coming off as typical teen airheads, it only fuels the fire, whether they are or not.
Duhhhh! Is that how it works????? Thanks for 'splainin' it to me. I have already pointed THAT out on two other threads. I certainly don't blame them. I blame their scripters and handlers. Despite the poor jokes and direction they still came across as normal, healthy, happy, well-adjusted, very pretty young girls.
My comments were directed to your comments. I understand exactly what the Republicans were attempting to do. If they continue to ignore their base, they will lose them, and I am not referring to myself.
"You might just not be in it."
HUH?
