Liberal Group Plans Yearlong Anti-Bush Campaign With Goal to Deny Positive Legacy

Americans United for Change plans to undertake a yearlong campaign, spending the bulk of the money on advertising, to keep public attention on what the group says are the failures of the Bush administration, including the war in Iraq, the response to Hurricane Katrina, and the current mortgage crisis.

In selling the plan to fundraisers, the group has argued that support for President Reagan was at a low of 42 percent in 1987 but climbed to 63 percent before he left office. "All of a sudden he became a rallying cry for conservatives and their ideology," said Brad Woodhouse, president of the group. "Progressives are still living with that."

The group is a nonprofit corporation that made a splash by airing ads against Bush's plans to overhaul Social Security in 2005. The group has conducted polls and focus groups and is now raising money for their anti-Bush effort. It gave a Power Point presentation to representatives of about 30 liberal and labor organizations last week.

I was going to toss in some snide commentary about the absurdity of such efforts, but I think your comment pretty much says it all...

Well my comment was going something to the effect that they not need bother expend the effort nor the money. Now we all know the true meaning of "beating a dead horse."

I wish they'd spend the money and effort on something more positive that wasn't already a given anyway.

They've only been doing it for 8 years so far, why would they stop?

Wow. What a waste of money!

Then again, that could be said about most of the money spent during election season.

Imagine if just a fraction of the money spent on ads promising to help people, was actually put toward helping people.

History will judge him.

This is a pointless effort.

I wonder if this project will pursue with positive response to the people. I'm sure Bush administration will take this seriously

Thanks to this, because more anti-Bush campaign is proliferating now in the web. I support this non profit organization.
