What happened to Bush's supposedly "Very professional" campaign staff

[ShaneGR]

That's all I've heard about the Bush campaign for months. They're supposed to be experienced, disciplined, thorough, etc. etc.

And in the last week they use an ad with completely retouched photos, a confetti bazooka blasts Bush and a crowd 5 minutes before he's done speaking, and now they've started using music they DID NOT get permission to use which was written by a guy who's band supports KERRY and is a move-on contibutor!

Gees.... oh yeah, did I mention the "wolf" ad was all bark and no bite?

1. I vote that they have succumbed to the effects of...

Massive Carbona Huffing.

2. they're too busy "cloning" soldiers for Bush campaign ads.

Just cute puppies romping through the forest.

8. Pardon my French...

but FUCK DICK MORRIS, the guy who runs vote.com, the site that pretends to be the "fifth estate" but in reality just spams Congress with worthless emails.

12. If Dick Morris likes wolves so much

Maybe he can let Romulus and Remus suckle his toes

5. They've succeeded in staying on message

the underlying message anyway, which is "VOTE KERRY".

6. They all got lost in the Dead Letter Dept at georgewbush.org

Seriously, how can they run the country with delusions of running the world if they can't work internal campaign email?

7. I have not heard about the music yet.

Do you have any further info?

9. THere are a couple threads on it, the "Still the One" song

Written by a guy named John Hall, who supports Kerry and has asked the Bush campaign the stop using it.

10. Thanks. n/t

13. In a word: H-U-B-R-I-S.

:kick:

[tigereye]

14. you said it

I think that wolf ad was aimed at women... who are afraid about security... etc. pretty cheesy.

15. Karma caught up with them

They're used to seeing every slimy trick work. When Kerry was able to completely reverse the months of work/money they spent on the whole caricature of him, they didn't know how to recover. They overreached, simple as that.

And finally all their dirty tricks are catching up with them and people (I hope) are sick of it. I just hope it's in time. And if not, I fully expect any (God forbid) second Bush term to be scandal-ridden from start to finish, because if people don't wake up before Tuesday, they are most certainly starting to. And they ain't rolling over, I'm convinced of it.
