Even the Militant Mama in the Kerry 9/11 ad was wiping tears away on CNN last night. This is the kind of thing we ought to have been seeing all along.

I saw the ad online yesterday and it is FANTASTIC.... this is a POSITIVE ad, an ad to highlight the inhumanity of what was done on 9-11, and the humanity of President Bush who truly cares about the victims of that awful event and who is seen here comforting a young girl who lost her mother in the World Trade Center that day.

FANTASTIC AND DEEPLY MOVING AD.

IT's touching BUT I'd rather have it be the issues that win an election. For example HOW he is keeping us safe etc. etc..

I watched all the ads and about half of them are real movers. Donate to this group if you can...

I saw this on the news the day it took place..

People motivated by the facts decided a long time ago.

Whether we like it or not, some people are moved more by things with a strong emotional value.

President Bush looks like a man who belongs in a Carhart jacket not a rich fool who puts one on to get a vote from the regular guys.

John Kerry is the biggest phony I ever laid eyes on.

What you said!

Contrast this to Kerry's using of a POW's mother in this video clip from Stolen Honor.

[Anti-Bubba182]

I have to admit, that one got to me as well.

The Kerry ad with the victim's wife talking about the 9/11 commision was emotionally flat and struck me like the usual opposition cynical carping.

Then you want something that never has been and never will be.

Does it really matter to you if the burglar stays out of your house because he fears you have a gun and would shoot him, as opposed to not breaking in because it would be wrong? Whichever reason motivates him to do the right thing is the "right" reason.

[Hardastarboard]

I have to admit, the photo moves me, and I'm not prone to that kind of emotional crap.

[dangus]

Zero content. Why does Bush think you can have emotion or content, but not both?

[gbaker]

Are you sure its a Bush ad? Looks like a 527. I can't run it here at work.

[mware]

It's a 527, a damn good one I might add.

Kerry supporters can't have decided on the facts. The facts are Kerry's 20 yr Senate record is a joke. Kerry's Viet Nam war record is a joke (yup Kerry was in Viet Nam):-). Kerry's voting/non voting record is a nightmare. Its just pure partisanship,total ignorance or hatred of Bush motivating Kerry supporters.

Because, of course, we all know that the character of a president is totally irrelevant to his leaderhsip, and that the heart of a man is never an issue when determining whether he should be a leader over you. That's all just emotional crap, you see.
