For President of the United States
GEORGE W. BUSH
Eight years ago, the current incumbent won election on the slogan, “It’s the Economy, Stupid.“ This year, such efforts on that line as may be attempted, have not caught fire. Apparently the American people have decided, after watching the spectacle of American politics under the present regime, that prosperity, while very important, is not enough alone. The nation’s health also requires that our society expend effort on other issues as well, including national security and moral leadership. The Democratic nominee, a high-ranking member of the present regime, cannot be expected to improve much upon the last eight years—and so must be politely told to go back to private life while a serious man takes on the powers and duties of the most powerful office in the world. It’s not the economy anymore—and we’re not stupid anymore.
That’s why the Democrats’ attempt to use a non-story from George W. Bush’s distant past won’t work. When Bill Clinton got caught doing wrong (as President), he wagged his finger at us, denied everything, and blamed it all on a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. When Al Gore got caught lying in a debate with Bill Bradley earlier this year, he said “There’s never been a time when I’ve said something untrue.“ When George W. Bush (as a young man misspending his youth) got caught driving with a blood alcohol content just at the legal limit, he took the consequences and made sure it never happened again. Gov. Bush is not only qualified and ready to be President of the United States, he is superior to his Democratic rival in every way that matters.
