Peggy Ping!

Noonan just wants to hear only one thing from the White House: "You're hired, when can you start?"

[prognostigaator]

Now for our challenge. What should the Bush paragraph consist of? How to make it new? How to make it memorable, and true? Readers, you are invited to wrap up in one paragraph what the Bush campaign should say as it unveils itself anew. The White House reads this site. They'll see it. Take the floor and tell them how to do it.

"Four score and seven years ago.........

I honestly do not know why Peggy gets paid any money at all. The only reason the base is restless is because of the 2 months of dem advertisement for their candidate and the lib press humping its own leg. The fact is this, Bush keeps his powder dry until the dem nominee gets his footing and starts his own momentum. Then Bush the baseball player, the fighter pilot, the Texas hunter, nails his target right in the heart. Lay low in the bush and let the prey come to you, don't shoot wildly.

I honestly do not now how Kerry made it out of 'Nam considering his tact. It is a good thing he left when he did, I could just see him trying to pull a Rambo like he is now.

Bush is a cool cat, something the elitist press core, including Peggy, have absolutely no concept of; if she was 20 years younger I'd be happy to show her the way, but alas she is too old for me, and too old for the new political game. A game based on a clean, economic, business acumen, where everything is streamlined and the sluts are kicked to the curb.

They (the Bush team) don't know how to be scared. They probably can't wrap their brains around the idea they should be. Or rather in the abstract they know they should be--they read the papers--but in the particular, in their minds and souls, I doubt they have fully wrapped their brains around it. Which is too bad, because fear makes you sharp.

After a GWB press meeting early in the 2000 primaries, Chris Matthews made the following comment: "Those Harvard guys never sweat."

[EternalVigilance]

"Early to bed, early to rise..."...nah...

[EternalVigilance]

"Tested and rested..."

Nope...

[dalebert]

I think the Dems are making the case for Bush's re-election.

Bump for later.

"George W. Bush has been misunderestimated..."

uhuh...

[SAR1]

Why do you think people are condidering not voting for Bush ? Because the stock market went down and took alot of good peoples money with it. Scared most people out of the market who are now so afraid to get back in. They watch in awe and desperation as the market climbs back up without them. Many can blame Bush for this.

Also, we now have a beachhead for the first time in our history right in the middle east. But why does the price of oil keep going up? A high price for oil acts like a tax on the US economy as well as the global economy. Why cant Iraq produce more oil and get the price down. Also we should exert major pressure on the Saudis to produce more oil and get the price down. The fact that this is not happening is astounding and tragic. And the Bush people say vote for me because we must fight terrorism. Well fine but do the other things too.

[EternalVigilance]

The last sort of rocking White House was that of the abstemious Baptist Mr. Carter..

Seem to remember stories of Clinton people smoking pot on the White House roof. It would be hard for me to picture that bunch of juveniles as doing anything but contradicting this claim.

"It's not about us, and it's not about them...it's about we."
We are not going to give up the fight.
We are not going to back down or back away.
We are solving the problems created in the past rather than talking about them.
We are doing these things in a way that, while they may create pain and deficits and unsuredness for the short-term,
will instill a solid base upon the rock of peoples own initiative for the future.

[KC Burke]

An imperfect world, that we have been often sheltered from in our great nation, must be met with cool resolve. A government taxation system that has always grown must have someone who will say, No. Honest faith in our nation and its heritage is in our hearts and thank God it is reflected in our chief executive. As the person sworn to execute our laws, the President must help a powerless Congress be restored as the legislative branch in an age where judges have begun to believe that legislation is their responsibility.

[daviddennis]

I'd start with this, from an Iraqi making fun of the anti-war left.

I laughed so hard I cried; if you haven't read it, you must.

[AreaMan]

I would start with a joke, you know loosen up the room before you roll on and on about all the pie in the sky crap that every president has to promise...

"Ahem....A priest, a Rabbi and a duck walk into a bar...

Peggy - I think that Bush's supporters should get a chance to speak FOR him.

Anyone who listens to Ruth, who was on Rush's show a couple of days ago, understands the man we believe in, and how very much we know he MUST stay in office. I want a future. I too, want it done, and want it done now. The cause is noble and the war is just...and our future and the future of those we love depends upon our national backbone, our resolve, and our victory.

Listen to the voice of America. Listen to Ruth speak for the Nation, and perhaps, for George W. Bush, too...

Maybe they can cut portions of what she has to say into segments for a "series" type ad. After all, selling your message effectively means putting "your product" into the hands of those would be buyers, and telling them what it's going to mean to them. Rose captures the facts, and the feelings--spelling it all out beautifully.

The Bush Mission Statement:

"Nearly 3 1/2 years ago, we were attacked on American soil by an enemy who had grown to believe that American Presidents were interested in nothing more than blow dried hair and blow jobs. Because of this attack, our economy faltered and our way of life was threatened. Since that time, by the grace of God and the foresight of this administration, our economy has rebounded to record levels and our citizens are safe and secure. I pledge to continue to secure our country so that our economy can grow."

[John Jorsett]

I think Noonan has it right: the base is restless. Bush has been a great war president, and cut taxes, and is on the correct side of several other things like Kyoto. However, he's on the wrong side of a number of big issues. Overall I'd give him a C minus. Most of us who think this way will probably still vote for him, but I wouldn't expect as much enthusiasm as if he'd been more aggressive on, say, immigration. And the "where else are they going to go?" attitude on the part of Bush political operatives really isn't helping.
