Bush Blog Positive Counterpart To DNC By Jimmy Moore Talon News October 10, 2003
WASHINGTON (Talon News) -- The official weblog for the Bush-Cheney 2004 reelection campaign was opened this week to help keep the public informed about the major campaign issues and activities.
The new Bush blog, the term commonly used for a weblog, located on the Internet at www.georgewbush.com/blog launched just weeks after the controversial new Democrat Party blog entitled "Kicking Ass."
As previously reported by Talon News, the Democrat blog contains mostly negative stories and postings about President Bush and members of his administration. Also, it has suppressed opposing viewpoints in its comment section.
Conversely, the new Bush-Cheney '04 blog contains positive entries regarding the strength of the economy as a result of the tax cuts, the continuing progress made in the war on terrorism, and the war in Iraq as well as news and notes from the campaign.
The Bush blog was created specifically to inform supporters of the President about "breaking news" on the campaign when it hits. Additionally, regular news alerts will be sent out to subscribers via e-mail when they sign up for them on the blog.
One difference between the Bush blog and other blogs is that a discussion feature is not located at the end of each blog entry. While the blog is still in the early stages, that feature may be added in the coming months as more and more people become interested in the political process.
There are a few interesting features of the Bush blog.
First, there is a categorized list of the major issues on President Bush's agenda, including the economy, compassion, homeland security, health care, education, national security, and the environment. Clickable links to each of these issues are located at the top of the blog and will send you to a webpage detailing the president's stand on each of the issues as well as the progress he has made on each one since being in office.
Second, in anticipation of the election taking place on November 2004, there is a countdown calendar image on the blog. There is also a link for others to put the countdown calendar on their website.
Third, a daily travel log of where the president and members of his administration will be each day is posted on the blog.
The Bush blog is meant to work in tandem with the Bush-Cheney reelection website located at www.georgewbush.com.
