The Republicans make a play…

Posted on by

In an election where every vote will make the difference, you have to pick and choose which minorities you might be able to lure into your camp, and then make a play. The ball is in play and we are it. Sify news reports:

In a first advertisment of its kind, the Republican party has re-counted the strides made in the India-US relationship urging Indian-Americans to help re-elect President George W. Bush.

The advertisement, issued by Marc Raciot, chairman of the Bush-Cheney re-election campaign, said Bush understands India’s potential to become one of the great democratic powers of the 21st century and has worked to transform the US-India relationship.

“Throughout his first term in office, President Bush has honoured the many contributions of Indian-Americans in our country by advancing policies that reflect their priorities. We are grateful for the support the President’s campaign has obtained from Indian-Americans and we look forward to working together to re-elect President Bush,” the advertisement read.

Now I can’t seem to find this “advertisement.” Was it simply a verbal ad or was it print media, or television? I checked both the Bush-Cheney website and the RNC website but no luck so far. Will keep you updated. At times like this I wish there was a Karl Rove equivalent on the Dems side.

  1. This is hardly convincing after everything that BushCo has done to arm and support Pakistan and turn a convenient blind eye to the Kashmiri terrorists harbored in Pakistan as well as sales of nuclear weapons to the Axis of Evil.

    Also, Indians are a little too close looking to Arabs to feel entirely comfortable in the environment that Bush has created in this country.

    a) I think bin laden created the environment

    b) given that bush talks about the religion of peace all the time, that norman mineta – his appointee – refuses to use race as a factor in airplane screening, and given that bush is talking about granting amnesty to the millions of illegal aliens in the US….exactly how are SAs in the US being persecuted? it seems more rhetoric than reality.

  4. Who’s talking about persecution? I’m talking about discomfort. And all of the religious posturing that Bush does is enough to make any rational person of any race ill.
