That doesnt count as a Bush/Kerry favorite commercial, while the button on ur tv might be one of your favorite things, it doesnt qualify.

Whats funny with the Bush commercials is the statement thats said at the end - "President Bush approves this message" .. Of course he would approve it, its designed for him. I just think its a little out of the ordinary

The point of that is claim direct ownershop of the message, he takes accountability for it. This is oppsed to the usual but vague "This message brought to you americans for yadayadayada" where politicans let their related intrest grpups do the real mud slinging.

Why would we outlaw them? American politics are tame compared to some EU countries.

Bush says Kerry is wrong for America, Kerry Says Bush lied, Bush then says Kerry not only lies but also lies about who he is. The people decide whom they believe or in some case mistrust less and vote.

Nothing is said by the campaigns that isn’t said by the population in general.

If you don’t like American Politics or the political discussions on this forum why do continually end up making replies in such threads. Is that hard to simply avoid such topics?

I can’t remember the last time I posted a reply in a thread about Norwegian or EU politics.

Bush has certainly not turned out to be the leader I had hoped he would mature into, but the thought of a President Kerry is simply repulsive, revolting, discombobulating.

These commercials are a waste of money for me. Its Bush or bust as far as Im concerned

Political campaign commercials are required to identify the organization paying for them. On others you will see something like "Paid for by the committee to elect Elmo Coltraine for Parish President and to destroy the reputation of that no account low down polecat Cletus Beauregard LeCroix III"

Here political commercials are outlawed on TV since TV commercials affect people on an emotional level more than the intellectual, and that very little of depth can be conveyed in such limited time. Political commercials are still legal in printed media for the opposite reason ... it appeals to the intellect rather than your emotions, and enough can be written on half a newspaper page to give some political depth to the message. Of course it is also illegal to lie in commercials here ... so perhaps the ban on political commercials are superfluous.

When did I say I didn't like American politics? It doesn't interest me much, but it can be fun and enlightening to discuss politics.

I can't remember the last time there was a thread about Norwegian or EU politics here.

So where you live, the government thinks people are too stupid to view a commercial and decide for themselves what they consider "emotional" content. So your government decides what the people see on TV based on how intelligent they think the people are. They assume people are stupid and cannot view a tv ad without getting "emotional"

man, you are on the losing end of this argument yet you persist.....

You have essentially agreed that your government thinks you are too stupid to view a political commercial. You have agreed that you personally are too stupid to interpret a commercial, then you call me a "sociopath" for pointing this out?

I will boldy tell you that I am smart enough to view a commercial and make up my own mind regarding it's content.

TIVO likes them

she eats them up just as fast as any car, beer, reality show commercial

if someone lets a commercial sway their political convictions - they have the mental prowess of a dumbacrat
