New Bush radio ad names past presidents... Snubs DAD!
Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Reagan ... talks about first 100 days in office to compare *'s unfunded mandates against their Kerry scare tactic.

Wonder what daddy thinks of the snub?

1. Can't the Kennedys get an injunction?
He's got to stop comparing himself to Kennedy. I, frankly, find that comparison more offensive than when he pretends he's like Churchill. Worse, they are juxtaposing the Kennedy and Reagan names, as if THEY had anything in common.

Luckily, I think that "Ah'm George Dubya Bush and ah approve of this message" is going to be roundly mocked.

5. Sorry, but JFK was no Churchill.
MUCH worse for Junior to have the unmitigated gall to compare himself to old Winston. Churchill's leadership kept the UK from seeking peace with Germany in 1940, and the morale boost he gave the British people was a large factor in the Battle of Britain. It was Britain's resistance that caused Hitler to make the fatal error of turning east and invading the Soviet Union.

I think you can make a reasonable case for Churchill as the saviour of Western civilisation; Kennedy, while a great leader, is not really in the same league.

3. Hmm, except for Kennedy (for obvious reasons), he didn't want to
be associated with one-termers.

Like his daddy.

Gee, I wonder why he didn't include Nixon?

4. I have a political button
that's from Reagan's campaign that says "Republican Integrity" and it has several Republican presidents..Nixon is conspicuously missing.
