day 95/reason 6: misrepresentation
why don't we want W for another 4 years? He has consistently mis-represented himself to the American people. Compassionate conservative? I don't think so. Not interested in nation building? How about Afghanistan and Iraq? Poor boy from Texas? Nope.
As this article points out, Bush is currently trying to paint himself as a guy of average means compared to Kerry and Edwards. And there are people out there who will believe this, especially if they make their political choices based primarily on the commericials and stump speeches they've seen on TV.
It's fascinating really. Not only is Bush misrepresenting himself by insinuating that he is not part of the upper class of this country, he is insulting the very people he is targetting with this ploy... the lower income families who are trying to support their families with low paying jobs. Bush is assuming that these folks won't have the time or energy to search out the truth in his claims, and that by fooling them into thinking he is not rich, they'll be more likely to vote for him.
