If a 3rd party is going to do a pro-Bush ad, they should at least consider giving Bush credit for something that he wouldn't take credit for himself (because he is above such behavior).
For instance, President Bush won't take credit for starting the Amber Alert system as Governor back in Texas.
Now the Amber Alert system is nationwide, saving children every month. The press won't write about it, except that they *might* mention that the Amber Alert system first went into place in Texas in 1996 (never mentioning who was Governor of Texas in 1996).
That's the sort of thing that a 527 should do an ad on. President Bush won't take credit for the Amber Alert system, the press won't give him credit for the Amber Alert system, yet a 527 could accurately point out that it all started under Governor Bush.
Excellent point! I had no idea re: Amber alert
