ARLINGTON, VA - Today, Bush-Cheney '04 announced the release of the campaign's newest television advertisement, "Changing World." The new ad highlights President George W. Bush's vision to keep America moving forward and his conviction to make tough decisions in today's changing world. The ad also points to the values that make our country strong. The ad will run on national cable and select local markets. Script for "Changing World" Voice Over: Graphic: President Bush:
The world is changing.
Sometimes in ways that astound.
And others that terrify.
We depend more than ever on our values - family, faith, the freedom we celebrate.
In today's changing world the answers aren't easy.
We need a sense of purpose, a vision for the future, the conviction to do what's right.
President Bush
Moving America Forward
I'm George W. Bush and I approve this message. Together, we're moving America forward.
If this is the best they can come up with, I am not optimistic about November.
Booooooring.
We are in the right against evil. He should not shy away from saying so during the campaign.
It sounds like a Kerry ad - and didn't Kerry steal THOSE Republican themes last night for his speech?
The ad is OK -- it's a positive ad to shut the press up that all our ads are not negative. Further, it reminds voters that the war on terror is issue #1.
I would like someone to ask JFK how attacking the Saudi government helps build international coalitions.
Guys,
You've got it all wrong. Voters are looking for qualities. Bush has already accentuated "leadership" and "conviction." Expect these to be followed with "compassion" to swing the female vote back.
"Conviction" and "leadership" are what voters view Kerry as lacking. Now he has to steal the "compassion" issue, and it's over. If you are looking for slick attack ads, don't expect it.
(What I would like to see is a recounting of the good economic news, but they might be waiting until after next Friday's payroll number...)
I suppose. I guess im just wanting real red meat. Im a big partisan hack though. I can amdit it.
I wrote this poem for a Kerry ad. As you read do it with his voice in mind. Insert proper images.
Kerry 2004
I want to be the President,
Though all know I can’t lead.
I really want the power though,
It’s really what I need.
I’ll lie and cheat and fabricate,
I’ll flip and flop for sure.
The left’s so dumb they’ll vote for me,
For stupid, there’s no cure.
George Bush lied, I’ll chant and sing,
Though I know it’s not true.
I love America I’ll say,
Another lie for you.
I’ll back the UN’s global push,
No sovereignty for us.
The world rides free at our expense,
We’ll even buy the bus.
Let terror rain down on this land,
We really are to blame.
Oh yes, I fought in Viet Nam,
Four months, then home I came.
Three Purple Hearts for paper cuts,
Like some rite of passage.
You bet my name’s John Kerry,
And I approve this message.

Thats pretty lame.
He is changing the world, and that is a big deal, but this ad is lame
I like it. I think it will appeal to people like my mother-in-law who don't want to face that we ARE in a changed world.
I like it. It's positive; it sends a good, strong message; and they finally answered my call for more hula-hoops in Republican ads. Way to go!
Attack ads work. We can't worry that the media will say Bush is being "negative" by highlighting Kerry's record.
Yes, it does sound like a Kerry ad. One that Kerry's team can keep!
unfortunately all the "pro's" at this stuff work for the other side.
Ever notice how when we want red meat Bush does the opposite, and it works? They must have a plan to put out ads like this.
Works in what way? I won't believe it is close to working until I see Bush ahead by more than the margin of error. I know Iraq is disturbing to many people. But, geeze, Kerry is the worst candidate nominated by a major party since...Bob Dole. Bush should be doing much better at this point in the campaign.
I agree with you that its a bad ad. All I can think of is Bush's people have some kind of plan that we aren't privy to. I'm trying to optimistic.
btw, you should talk to your wife more :) Why didn't you tell her about Kerry's Vietnam record?
You need to throw some positive and optimistic ads in the mix every once in a while.
Where is the one hitting Kerry on voting against parental notification? I saw a clip of that on CNN today. THAT'S more like it (but I can't find it!)
Kerry offers no alternative.
Ignore Kerry and run on the record. Bush has been bold. IGNORE KERRY.
She hates politics. Says it makes her feel helpless. Some days, when I see how the mainstrean media distorts the news, I tend to agree.
See post 22, I believe that its mentioned in the first one on that list and the second.
Post 22 links to the scripts...where are the video links?
good ad. it is subtle in its reminder about our risks.
You don't emphasize freedom by saying the word - you emphasize it by describing (and showing photos that represent) things he's done to enhance freedom - tax cuts, Afghans, Iraqis, etc. You enphasize conviction by talking about when Bush stood his ground - after 9/11, and yes even with Iraq.
I was gonna' say the same thing even before I saw your post.
If this is the best they can come up with, I am not optimistic about November.
Another pathetic... meaningless Karl Rove Ad. They should just film 30 seconds of Zell Miller listing reasons why Kerry is a far-left UN-Whore who cant be trusted. Then just play that in all the battle ground states.
Ditto. This commercial is vague and has no substance behind it what so ever.
Kerry's got a commercial coming out touting his strength on defense, Unfortunately I doubt the Republicans will challenge him on it.
This is becoming the race between the worst candidate vs the worst campaigner.
This ad is terrible and smacks of the mediocrity of his father's 1992 campaign. "Moving America Forward" conjures up the image of being stuck in a vat of molasses.
"In today's changing world the answers aren't easy. We need a sense of purpose, a vision for the future, the conviction to do what's right."
This ad is not worthy of George W. Bush.
