DNC's Terry McAuliffe Asks WH for Pledge Not to Use Carrier Footage in 2004 Campaign

Hotline National Journal/Democratic National Committee Press Release ^ | May 9, 2003 | Chuck Todd

[ewing]

Considering the expense to the American taxpayer and use of American men and women as 'extras' for this media stunt, President George W. Bush should pledge that his USS Lincoln landing not appear in any 2004 Presidential Campaign Commercials and Videos.

Press release recieved at the National Journal May 9

Well, I am going to use them and I don;t care what the DNC thinks of it.

I am flooding the net with Winning Iraqi Freedom

And I am afixing the stamps from my site, particularly those of President Bush, to every piece of mail I send. Just paid a bunch of bills today and had one on every single one of them ... hehehe.

The Dems/libs/socialist/marxists are scared to death of those images. It shows decisively and blatantly everything they lack. What a bunch of whiners.

See #124 and #129.

Need a little help for us non-DC people. This could be fun. Are there billboards available near DNC headquarters?

[Grampa Dave]

This thread is only starting to heat up.

We have so many creative freepers, diligent freepers, freepers loyal to GW, and we will find a way to pound the DNC and McAwful with this.

[alnick]

Yeah Terry, just as soon as you pledge that the DNC will be scrupulously honest in all of its campaign ads.

[Humidston]

Congratulations.... Your post made me bookmark this gem!

The Magic Kit?

[Cordova Belle]

Please, please tell me the White House didn't actually pledge not to use it!!!!!!!

[Fred Mertz]

Yeah, is the magic kit yours?

[plain talk]

I knew this was coming. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/907814/posts?page=23#23
Even if they don't need to use the footage (RNC will do that), WH shouldn't agree to this garbage on principle.

[Grampa Dave]

We all should book mark this for ideas and fire up our engines on days we don't fill like ripping lips off of the whining rats.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

So nice of him to tell us what concerns him most. Bush in a flight suit versus the titans of the Slave Party:

Nine midgits and a crusty pantsuit.

ROFL!!!

[Howlin]

I told Miss Marple last week that we SHOULD donate to pay for that flight -- then the footage would be OURS to use as we please.

The American military finally got a real Commander-in-Chief, and anyone watching the troops could tell their pride to have been chosen as the venue for the President's speech.

Calling military members "extras" make no sense since their joy was real not staged.

[Registered]

Yes, see my email along side the magician!?

[Howlin]

They must really, really be scared of those pictures.

[NorseWood]

Sure, Terry! And there will be no pictures of any Democrats standing in the House or Senate chambers, or kissing babies, or standing in front of an American flag, or . . . .

[PoisedWoman]

The WH doesn't need to use it. Since soft money is "IN" again, all manner of issues organizations can use it. I love free speech.

All the WH has to do is publish McAuliffe's demand that they not show Bush in flight suit in crawl line under fottage of Bush's plane landing on the carrier. Then go to black as plane door opens and Bush sticks his head out.

Voice over: "In deference to the clueless frightened Democrats who did not suppport the war, we're not showing the president in his flight suit. Democrats who voted against the war are: (read list)"

[Howlin]

I saved that issue.

I framed mine. :-)

[Aric2000]

No, they already went down that track, and it didn't slow it, the problem is that the the tressel was out and the engine is falling toward the river, and the cars behind it are following it like little dogs.

The Democratic party is falling, and the momentum is growing, when they hit the bottom, it is NOT going to be pretty.

[Jeff Head]

Great idea ... I wonder if it could be pulled off?

But we are using the images anyway ... and can continue to do so. Billboards, stamps on letters, emails, editorials, signs in our yards, posters at grocery stores, etc., etc.

... and you are right, they are scared to death of those images.
