I was thinking...
I was actually looking at the Bush website, and I decided that they appeal to a less-educated part of society. They tend to have a lot of media that one does not have to trouble themselves with "reading;" it is all in audio/video format. The entire front page is full of videos and cartoons and such. Again, not very presidential.
Kerry's website isn't hard-core reading either, but they seem more civil at JohnKerry.com than they do at the 'Dubya' website. On the front page is a very recent picture of the candidate as he travels the country, and a statement about what he and John Edwards plan to do. It's a simple site, one link to videos, and a few recent publishings related to the campaign and debates.
Bush's website, though, doesn't have even a hint of a "mission statement." Nothing. Take a look for yourself. Dubya's website looks more like MSN than a plea for your vote. It's all propaganda and flash. Rubbish. Where's the sensible logic I wish for in a leader? There's even a link at the top to "'W' Stuff." The President of the United States. As in: a follower (supposedly) in the footsteps of Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Reagan? I can't summon the respect for George W. Bush that these men commanded. I can't see "President" in G.W., the Texas Tiger.
But maybe he did all he could. Maybe he did tell the truth as he knew it. Maybe he did mean well, but just listened to the wrong people. If so, I'm sorry about what I just said. But it's my blog, and my freedom.
