I'm not a believer that ads such as this are very effective -- they are too narrowly focused on something and not many facts to vote on. The Bush campaign could probably have spent their money and energy a bit better by making another ad instead of this.

i think you are forgetting (or maybe just ignoring) the fact that this ad was NOT paid for by the Bush campaign

Of course it wasn't. It was paid for by one of those 527 groups exploiting a loophole in the McCain-Feingold act which allows soft money contributions to pour into the campaign through the back door. You can also be sure the Bush campaign knew about it and at least tacitly supported it.
Using human tragedy to push a political agenda disgusting and outrageous. It's little more than a sad commentary on how low this campaign has sunk.

Yes indeed thanks for sharing this 312RC! As far as the other comments complaining about someone's suffering being used as a campaign tool, see deltaguys statement.

It's ok wellhung I understand being a liberal you have to do your best to discredit everything that might be good about the president, but as far as this is concerned he comforted her I haven't seen Mr. Kerry comfort her

Who'd wanna go to one of those?? We all know he served in Vietnam, and we know he doesn't think this is the right war at the right time . If you know that there's really not much going on at his rallies

Hey 747....it looks like your catching on. When you're old enough to vote (unless your drafted before then) we can count on your support. Those Liberal views of yours are wonderful!

I wouldn't want to go to ANY presidential rally... but what's going on at the Bush rallies? Is it one big comfortfest or does he lie first, then proceed to the comfort phase? Lord knows with what he's done the past 4 years, a lot of people need a lot of comforting.
25 Ctbarnes: As far as the other comments complaining about someone's suffering being used as a campaign tool, see deltaguys statement. Which one? If it was the of

27 Continental: Don't give me that crap, it was obviously for publicity. Bush uses stupid crap like this to gain the votes of the idiots.
28 NW747400: Ctbarnes, No not the picture. This statement "so deal with it. Kerry can't get support like this." NW747400
30 NW747400: Continental, "Bush uses stupid crap like this to gain the votes of the idiots." So if I understand you correctly, Anyone who votes for Bush is an idi
31 NW747400: "That's what I said. He lies first." Thats your personal opinion. Plus pure speculation. Your assuming all the crap about "he knew Iraq didn't have W
32 WellHung: NW747400, if you were old enough to vote, you would fit into that group. You don't understand him correctly.
33 Dtwclipper: Continental: You must learn to take the high road with the right wingers, they will burn themselves in the long run. It's always best to play nice wit
34 WellHung: No, no, he lies. You probably don't understant THAT correctly, either.
35 NW747400: I understand him just fine. I will be old enough to vote next time around, and just because I can't vote yet doesn't mean I can't have an opinion. No
36 Dtwclipper: WellHung: I know he lies. I just like watching them back their rightwing behinds into corners, without being vulgar. dtwclipper
37 WellHung: The group referred to in Continental's original post. You still don't understand him correctly. Are you having a difficult time with reading comprehen
38 Commander_Rabb: Awesome ad, awesome girl, awesome country, awesome President. BUSH on NOVEMBER 2nd for all the right reasons.

42 NW747400: "Must be one of the children left behind..." Wellhung I don't go to public school. I still do not understand why you guys lower yourselves to persona
43 NW747400: "The group referred to in Continental's original post." Oh ok so your callin my parents ( who are voting for Bush idiots)? Like I stated I don't like

45 NW747400: "The group referred to in Continental's original post." Oh ok so your callin my parents ( who are voting for Bush) idiots? Like I stated I don't like
46 WellHung: If your parents are voting for Bush because of ads like this one, then yes. If they were voting for Kerry because of some moveon ads, they would also
47 NW747400: My parents are not voting for Bush because of an add like this. I understood what he meant. I didn't understand what group you put my parents in. NW7
48 WellHung: So you understood what he meant, but you lie and try to spin it so it appears he is calling all people who vote for Bush idiots? They sure are brainwa

51 Continental: After 8 posts, NW747400 finally gets it. Woohoo!
52 NW747400: After two posts Continental is still stooping to personal insult. Appearantly he has absolutely nothing useful to say NW747400
53 WellHung: No, he still doesn't get it. And now he's so confused what with the parents and all, he can't even realize he doesn't get it. Continental: "Bush uses
