New Campaign Slogan for Kerry?

I have come up with a new slogan/ad for Kerry that directly reaches out to the five undecided people in the U.S. that he needs to win over.

Cue patriotic music and generic male voice:

"All Americans, even those who are undecided in this election year, want a President that can identify with them, that understands their point of view...and that President is John Kerry.

Kerry: An Undecided Candidate for the Undecided Voter"


So should I be helpful and send this to the Kerry campaign?

You know, I read a few days ago that this whole buisness of Kerry being undecided and a 'flip-flopper' stems almost entirely from Republican bias in the media. He actually has legit explanations for all or almost all of his 'flip-flopping', its just that these explanations are bone-crushingly complicated... And I have to admit he can be a bit of a waffler sometimes... :rolleyes:

"John Kerry- because he isn't George Bush"

I have nothing against Bush personally. And I'm pretty clueless about American politics. But I thought that was funny...

Meh, its probably why a lot of people will vote for him.

Go further say reasons how he isn't George Bush.
LIke He wouldn't give the wealthy a bigger tax cut than the middle class.
He wouldn't invade a war under false pretenses. If he was going to invade iraq he would tell us why before the war.
He wouldn't take a state issue like gay rights and make it a national amendment.

campaign slogan


Vote Smart, Vote Kerry. Stop supporting the people who can't get the job done. What good is a glory hog if they are too stupid to work for good glory?

I have yet to see a campaign ad this season not covered in mud.
:(
So far all I've seen is "vote for me. Why? Because I'm not this loser."

Kerry; "I'm a loser, but I won't lose."

Bush: "four more years of making "Texans" Look like dumbasses."

In my opinion to support Kerry you would have to be Queer, communist, or welfare junkie. (No offence meant to anyone)

Look in my signature--it's not a slogan, per se--it's more of a tagline, but it's been appearing in Kerry's stump speech for the last few days.

PS--it's the last one. Not the Family Guy or Mae West quotes. :D

Hahaha! That was hilarious and definitely not insulting to me at all!
Seriously, don't say "no offense". Once I hear someone say that, I know they're trying to cop out of any flames coming. It could be argued that the only way you could vote for Bush would to be a redneck, a greedy CEO, or a war nut (not a veteran, just someone who backs every single war America is in).

Anyone who would say that has to be an un-American freedom-hating sheep. (No offence meant to anyone)

As opposed to Bush's loyal and honourable base of fundamentalists, facists and fat cats?

Given that he wants to abdicate US sovereignty to the United Nations I amend your slogan to:

'The UNdecided candidate for the UNdecided voter"

I want Kerry to beat Bush, but by God he's not going to with his current campaign sloganing. "W stands for Wrong!" I mean, c'mon, JFK. You can do better than that. Spell out a position. Take a side on an issue ... by the way, saying "He did it wrong, but I'll do it RIGHT" is not taking a side.

He either needs to listen to his campaign staff if they're telling him to work the issues; or fire them if they're not. This whole "I'm not George W Bush, and I'm running for President!" * schtick is getting old.


* Yes, that's a ripoff from Aaron Sorkin's American President. In fact, they could do worse than hiring Sorkin as a speechwriter ...
