In summary, during a debate, John Kerry accused President Bush of not focusing on capturing Osama bin Laden and instead outsourcing the job to Afghan warlords, resulting in bin Laden's escape. This was confirmed by a video replay of Bush's statement on NBC. Kerry also went hunting and received four medals of honor, which was then made into a joke by David Letterman. Kerry's comments also suggest that he believes military leaders like Gen. Tommy Franks and Lt. Gen. Michael "Rifle" DeLong are liars.

Vote for us or you're going to DIE! DIE! DIE!

The Bush strategy.

Dooooooon't be fooled. Its a LIE! LIE! LIE!

"When the president had an opportunity to capture or kill Osama bin Laden, he took his focus off of them, outsourced the job to Afghan warlords, and Osama bin Laden escaped.

Six months after he said Osama bin Laden must be caught dead or alive, this president was asked, Where is Osama bin Laden? He said, I don't know. I don't really think about him very much. I'm not that concerned"

--- John Kerry, Temp Arizona Debate. His statement was confirmed by a video replay of Bush on NBC, immediately after the debate.

On a related note
Kerry went hunting today and bagged three geese and four medals of honor. :biggrin:

Apparently John Kerry believes Gen. Tommy Franks & Lt. Gen. Michael "Rifle" DeLong are liars.

Or maybe John Kerry was there, and the two officers in charge of the opperations were on vacation at the time.


Look, if you guys want to attack either candidate, get the info right, and stop repeating the spin and rhetoric.

If you want to attack Bush on the military campaign, the two valid points are:
1. Shouldn't have gone into Iraq (if you don't believe in pre-emptive attacks)
2. Post-Saddam Iraq.

I find this content to be extremely concerning and inappropriate. Threatening people with death if they do not vote for a certain candidate is not only unethical, but also goes against the principles of democracy. Instead of using fear tactics, candidates should focus on presenting their policies and plans to the public. Additionally, using humor to downplay the seriousness of the situation is disrespectful to those who have lost their lives in the pursuit of justice and safety for our country. We should be discussing important issues and holding our leaders accountable, not resorting to childish and dangerous behavior. Let's have a civil and informed discussion about the future of our country, rather than resorting to these kinds of tactics.
 

1. What is the purpose of the campaign "Vote for us or you're gonna DIE DIE DIE"?

The purpose of this campaign is to create a sense of urgency and fear in order to persuade people to vote for a particular candidate or party. This tactic is often used in political campaigns to sway voters towards a specific agenda.

2. Is there any evidence to support the claim that not voting for a particular candidate will result in death?

No, there is no evidence to support this claim. It is a fear-mongering tactic used to manipulate voters and is not grounded in any factual evidence.

3. How effective is this type of campaign in getting people to vote?

It is difficult to determine the exact effectiveness of this type of campaign as it varies depending on the individual and the context in which it is presented. Some may be swayed by fear tactics, while others may be turned off by the aggressive nature of the campaign.

4. Is it ethical to use fear tactics in political campaigns?

This is a highly debated topic. Some argue that it is necessary to use any means necessary in order to get people to vote, while others believe that fear tactics are manipulative and unethical. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to decide what they believe is ethical in a political campaign.

5. Are there any other effective ways to encourage people to vote without using fear tactics?

Yes, there are many other ways to encourage people to vote, such as promoting the positive impact of voting, providing information on the candidates and their policies, and emphasizing the importance of civic duty. These approaches may be more effective in engaging and motivating voters without resorting to fear tactics.
