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.

Why should they not use the footage wherever the hell they want to?

Because it would be damaging to the Democrats.
(sarcasm)It's not fair that Bush gets all the credit for a succesful war when you had so many Dems supporting it too. There was just too much media bias against the Dems that didn't show all of the times that they supported the war, rather only the snide remarks toward the President(/sarcasm off)

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.

However, I can't promise I won't download it and send it to my friends.

It is in the public domain.

Who in the GOP pledged not to use it? Is there an official statement? I can't believe anyone in the WH would do that. It is an admission there is something wrong with using certain photos and video of the President. And it gives the DNC an opening to ask for more concessions.

Absolutely!

Makes me rethink my "boyfriend" pick.

I love Rummy, sis loves Bush, and my friend loves Cheney.

I just don't know....

I would ignore them and do what I wanted.

"I'll use this, but I'll make a deal with you, Terry. You can go ahead and use all the Howard Dean and Tom Daschle footage that you want. I won't complain at all. Oh yeah, feel free to use that Bonior footage, too."

FYI...William J. Clinton (1992-2001) 'visits' to US carriers
Carrier Carl Vinson (1993; 1995)
Carrier George Washington (1994)
Carrier Independence (1996)
Carrier Harry S. Truman (1998)


Here’s a small Clinton ‘military compilation of various threads on the FR forum

Dems Attack Bush's Use of Aircraft Carrier for Speech

Naaaaaaaaah, the Dem's wouldn't do that.

Presidential visits to Navy ships

President Clinton piped aboard the USS Independence, April 17, 1996.

"On the Senate floor Tuesday, Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) questioned "the motives of a desk-bound president who assumes the garb of a warrior for the purposes of a speech."

I guess that nobody remembers when Bill Clinton wanted to have a "photo op" with the Navy at Vietnam where the American flag was to fly lower than the Vietnam flag?

AUGUST 23 2000: American flag dips to Vietnam, China? Naval officers claim Clinton to change regulation to placate totalitarian regimes

AUGUST 25 2000: Navy deniesflag allegations Says Clinton won't changeregulations to placate communists

SEPTEMBER 18 2000: Clinton finally makes it to Nam?

OCTOBER 15 2000: Navy flag-lowering plan confirmed CINCPACFLT officer: 'There was a proposal to change the regulations'

OCTOBER 16 2000: Flag flap follow up

DECEMBER 18 2000: Justice confirms Navy flag flap Islands' top judge corroborates high-level talks to placate communists

DECEMBER 18 2000: Flag-flap vindication

So, Bush has a photo op on an American carrier where he evokes pride in our accomplishments and the Democrats cry fould, yet Clinton attempted to stage a Navy photo op where he diminishes the Navy and makes them subordinate to a dictatorial regime.

-PJ

Commemorating the 50th anniversary of D-Day aboard the U.S.S. George Washington off the coast of Normandy, France, June 6.

No photo ops there!
