Of course that's the theme. That ilk will always think that way.
Screw them!

ARLINGTON, VA - Today, Bush-Cheney '04 announced the release of the campaign's newest radio ad, "Values." The 60-second ad highlights the commitment of the President and Congressional leaders to honoring the values of faith, economic opportunity and educational excellence that are so dear to the hearts of African Americans across our country. “Values” is being broadcast on African American radio stations in Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. This is the campaign's second African American radio buy. The first ad, "Very Busy Man", ran in Ohio, Michigan, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin in July.

Script for "Values"
VO:
I love my husband and I'm proud of him, but that doesn't mean we always agree on every issue. But we do agree when it comes to the most important issues... providing a better education and life for my kids.
So as I've thought about this election... I realized I'm tired of being taken for granted by John Kerry and his allies in Congress...
And while I don't always agree with President Bush and our leaders in Congress, I do find myself agreeing with them on the values that are most important to my family...
Equal opportunity... to choose a better school and free my children from our failing neighborhood school... support for our faith based organizations we turn to, to help people around here in times of need...tax relief for our hard-working family... tax relief that's actually allowed us to put college money away for our kids, which we could never do before.
These are the things that matter most to my family and why I'm supporting our leaders in Congress... and President Bush.
President Bush:
I'm George W. Bush and I approve this message.
VO:
Paid for by Bush-Cheney '04, Inc. and the Republican National Committee.
"So you think that gearing the conservative message toward black America is a waste?"
I think it is worth it. Heard a caller on C-span from Inglewood, Calif. just last night.
He was articulate, that Kerry emboldens our enemy. I'm a Larry Elder listener and fan, too.
The middle class blacks people in America may wish to "conserve" that which they work hard for. That means money-wealth, education, family values, quality neighborhoods, etc.
In those respects, I don't see much (if anything) to be different about.
I think GWB may get 15-25 percent of black votes nationwide. Wouldn't that be something!!
Some may say: "Big deal. From 9 to 15 percent."
I say it is a great start, and this process is a long, steady one.
Good news!
Of course that's the theme. That ilk will always think that way.

An ad that clearly states we are one America and not the devided segments that the Democrats pander too would work real well.
The Dems have been able to isolate Black Americans so that they feel without a country. They (DNC) and the MSM have also successfully convinced them its the Republicans fault.
I doubt it on KKJZ; they're a public station. No ads, generally.
bttt
Negativity is just dead weight.
I give a lot of credit to Bush/Cheney for running the ad. Not only do they have a good shot at getting more votes from Americans who are black than they did in 2000, their platform clearly has a lot to offer to people in the inner-city or of modest means, black or white.
My only beef with the ad is that it encourages people to vote "for our leaders in Congress", which doesn't differentiate between Republicans and Democrats. It's confusing in that my "leaders" in Congress are all Democrats - why is Bush suggested I support them?
bump
Did you hear the mother, vet on Rush this week....She said she didn't agree with everything Bush stood for but she would be voting for Bush because she knew where he stood on the defense of our country....
For each person who calls in there are usually many more who feel the same way.....
If anyone is trying to supress the vote, it's democrats! Believe me I know living where I live.
HI!
You can usually count on the democrats doing whatever it is they are accusing the other side of doing....I thinks that why the admenistration said "bring 'em on" to the poll watchers.
By they way there were two more state in the "got caught" column for illegal registrations today. Ohio (near CLeveland) and WI.....Add those to Indiana, Pennsylvania, NYC/Florida and a couple of others....Wish I had compiled those articles...Someone is doing their job!
And that's a fact!
Exactly! LOL you are so right.
It's about damn time. During Hillary's run, she blanketed the "urban contemporary" airwaves with ads in NYC. Republicans should do the same.
No go, hit Kerry and the dems on same sex marriage, abortion, their total lack of values, etc, hammer, hammer, hammer.
"I doubt it on KKJZ; they're a public station. No ads, generally."
I stand corrected. It is connected with Cal State Long Beach, somehow. Will still listen for the music.
A stupid ad, straight from the boring RNC talking points they're always sending us. It won't make anyone pay attention. Worth absolutely zero votes.
The money would have been better spent on free yard signs for non-battleground states. But then, our real supporters don't matter as much as constituencies who are beyond our reach.
Go figure.
YES!!!
YES!!!
"You must crawl before you walk."
Agreed, also, nothing ventured, nothing gained. It is of utmost importance that pubblies reach out and actually ask Black Americans (and all others) to vote for them. Americans liked to be asked! And the mere presence of an active campaign will help discredit the slanderous lies the dims like to spew to the Black community about the Republican party. It's got to be a lot easier to believe the lies, however fantastic they might be, if one hears nothing from the other side.
She also might have added: "Forty years of lies, disinformation, government agencies being stand in fathers & mothers, along with 1000's of broken promises from the Democrats have ruined the Black family and our communities!"
