Did some Presidential campaign law chamge or something?
 

On some of the commercials they now say, "I'm (whoever), and I approve this message." I don't remember them ever doing this. Is this something new because of a law change or something?

I know...first time I've ever heard that. Must be GW's PR team thinking it makes him sound smart (for some reason?!)

yeah, i saw that on George Dubya's commercial... i don't think it's a law changed, i think he's just an idiot. Of course he approves of the message, it's his own damn campaign!

the new law went into efffect 2001 or 2 i believe.


It is a law

Ive seen other use it too.

Yeah I just think it sounds stupid. OF COURSE the candidate would approve the message, I would think that was a given considering it IS THIER CAMPAIGN.

Just a waste of having to hear there voices.

Kerry's commercials say it too though.

Seems to me (if I remember right) that in one of the recent elections a state or local office for one of the parties made a comercial/s that said some things that the person running did NOT say. And they caught some flak over it.

It does sound pert stupid.

A New law does takes effect soon banning soft money tho!! Another repub shot to try and hold the other parties back. Its designed to favor them from what the news people are saying. Haven't seen it to read personally yet.

Yeah it is quite redundant & unnecessary. But I think 60% of general public is that dumb, that maybe it's helpful to them (??).

I'm me and I approve this message:

Sounds dumb but whatever. I already know I'm not voting for either of the main fucktards.
