According to the Bush-Cheney ’04 campaign, “Bush-Cheney ’04 released a new television ad that will begin running all over the nation. The new ad, ‘Weapons,’ highlights John Kerry’s troubling record of opposing weapons systems essential to fighting and winning the War on Terror.”
Previously, multimedia on the Bush-Cheney ’04 Re-election Campaign website was available only via Windows Media and RealPlayer. Now Bush-Cheney ’04 site offers a third choice, Apple’s QuickTime, in “High Speed” and “Low Speed” versions.
The John Kerry campaign website multimedia is offered with a choice between Windows Media or RealPlayer. The Ralph Nader campaign website offers video clips with a choice between Windows Media or QuickTime.
See the Bush-Cheney ’04 QuickTime additions here.
The addition of QuickTime to the Bush-Cheney ’04 website follows the addition of the free President Bush Mac OS X Screen Saver. It seems that, of the three major candidates for U.S. President, only President Bush recognizes the Macintosh platform at this time.

lessee … did I get the first post?
how is this news?? MDN bias for W-Dick 04 has already been noted.
I’m not surprised their adding Quicktime. If they’ve been reading this site, they have a lot of support amongst Mac users.
Nice to see our President not excluding Mac users and actually going out of his way to include Mac users via his campaign website. Too bad the others don’t see fit to do so. Not because of this Mac stuff (although I do appreciate it), but for every other reason, another vote here for Bush-Cheney in November 2004!
focker,
The addition of Apple’s QuickTime to the President’s re-election website, is indeed “Mac Daily News.” Just because you seem to irrationally hate Bush doesn’t mean this isn’t a noteworthy item – definitely related to Apple and the Mac and QuickTime. If you don’t like the headline, don’t click it.
huh? excluding? last time I checked, quicktime, windows media, and realplayer all run on mac or windows…
so who is being excluded?
focker – “MDN bias for W-Dick 04 has already been noted.”
What a joke! There are links to Kerry and Nader websites right in the article. MDN did not need to do this. They could have excluded Kerry and Nader completely from this story. Don’t blame MDN and call them biased because Bush is the one embracing Mac users and Kerry, Nader, etc. are ignoring Mac users.
If the White House Telecommunications Office didn’t give him some cheap Dell loaded with NSA Secured Linux, he is ( at least was ) a PowerBook User.
tommy, have you tried WMP on Mac OS X? It barely works. Ditto for RealCrappyPlayer. Two piles of shit. I prefer QuickTime – wish all sites would wake up and offer QT choice.
Correction – glad to see Nader offers QuickTime, too.
I’m always surprised to see that there are quite a few Republican Mac users. You’d think all Mac users were hippie artists out celebrating Earth Day 365 days a year.
The link to the Bush/Cheney web site is wrong. The correct URL is http://www.georgewbush.org/
” It seems that, of the three major candidates for U.S. President, only President Bush recognizes the Macintosh platform at this time.”
Shame that dumb-ass bastard can’t recognize a constitutional right. But, he’s a shitty excuse for a republican anyway:
� no fiscal responsibility
� loves big government (it’s how he made his money in texass, fleecing taxpayers for a new stadium)
� completely dishonors the party of lincoln by being a religious bigot
� can bomb Iraq but can’t occupy it? not like we don’t have experience turning enemies into allies this way (Japan, anyone?). If he weren’t so stupid he could have learned from our past.
� conceded war on terrorism by limiting as many freedoms as he could and eliminating as many constitutional protections as possibly with un-constitutional and mis-named Patriot Act.
GWB is the antithesis of a patriot and doesn’t deserve to be president.
Lick Bush in ’04.
Shave Bush in ’04.
Pound Bush in ’04.
Bush/Halliburton ’04
Just vote in ’04. Diebold will take care of the rest.
Did anyone read the story in Fox News has endorsed Bush for re-selection?
That’s his biggest endorsement yet! And, it shows what a great job he’s doing fighting terror. Look, when the terrorists want you to stay in power, that has to say something, right?
Well, I’m sure Dubya’s handlers will find a way to put a positive spin on it. Like Clear Skies, No Child Left Behind, Healthy Forests, etc., they’ll probably make up some bullshit opposites name for this, too.
Idiots.
I support President Bush and Vice President Cheney and I also support their smart decision to add QuickTime to their campaign website.
OOPS. That first sentence should read “Did anyone read the story in Fox News that Al Qaeda has endorsed Bush for re-selection?”
Here’s the link again:

Before you tree hugging liberal loosers start in on Bush, I want you to know that he gave me the best blow job I ever had.
they had to add quicktime to the site. bushy doesn’t know how to use peecees…
moo.
bahahahwhwhhahahahhahahahahahah
jfbiii:
Ditto.
But those sound just like complaints of Bush by Democrats too.
By the way, before the insults start flying, I’m a Republican and have been for 20 years. I’m just not stupid enough to buy into the bullshit that this administration shovels up our asses. Any true Republican sees that this administration hasn’t held to any of the ideals that our party holds true, and the shame of it all is that our party leadership has sacrificed every last shred of its integrity in a desperate effort to win the White House (in 2000) and retain it (this year).
But on some level I can understand their motives. I can’t understand how so many people who are intelligent enough to use Macs can be so easily manipulated by the administration’s shameless propaganda and blatant lies. I’d think you were all Windroids!
I really can’t see a bias on MDN’s part – especially since they threw in the Kerry and Nader links. Have they been biased in some other article previously (other than biased in relating to Apple, Mac, iPod, of course)?
Mike,
Are you kidding? This is the most pro-Mac biased site I’ve ever read!!
The correct link to the Bush/Cheney re-selection site is
http://georgewbush.org/
MDN isn’t biased, it just knows how to get a lot of hits. Politics always gets the long threads. I bet like me that even if you don’t post comments, you are checking occassionally to read what others have put down. MDN is a business. A Bush headline for them is like sticking a picture of J-Lo on the cover.
