OMG! a W commercial was just on the baseball game (StL-Houston)
A Fox News "You decide 2004 minute"

What steps will you take to provide more access to Americans without health insurance?

And now President....George....W.....BUSH! (I'm not kidding)

W says he will
-let small employers pool their resources
-Tort reform
-rural communities will have community health centers
-let YOU decide on your healthcare

Blah Blah Blah

Committed to informing voters.

This message brought to you by the News Corporation and Fox Broadcasting

That was a blatant campaign ad!

6. News Corp is Fox.
That commercial was sickening. Communists had Pravda, Rethuglicans have Fox.

13. I agree. That was my reaction the first time I saw Bush.
Kerry looks pretty darn good in his spots! :D

14. Um
You know the playoffs are widely watched events. Did you really think that the campaigned wouldn't want to get some advertising in during such an event? If i were Fox id be more than happy to take the money from both campaigns.

If you haven't seen a Kerry commercial, perhaps Kerry isn't advertising in your state. I don't know. I know i see both sides advertising all the time but then thats because I'm in a swing state.

15. Yes their actually being fair
with this. Although when they do Bush's he's in the center of the camera. And Kerry looks to be off to the side. I did notice that. Anyone else?

17. Why don't they keep politics out of baseball?
This is really sick.
