Waldo Jaquith - MP3: “Positive Message”

MP3: “Positive Message”

On 26 July 02005 with 4 comments

Here is the second song to come out of the debate audio, “Positive Message.” (The first being “Always Trust the People.”) It features Jerry Kilgore’s “positive message,” which is apparently what he calls his slaps at his opponent, Tim Kaine. You can listen to Kilgore’s comments on negative campaigning for more along these lines.

Positive Message is fantastic!

I’m totally groovin’. Mr. Garrison… ahem… Jerry Kilgore should win a VH1 award.

Does anyone really think that campaigns should be completely positive? As long as they are issue driven, what’s the big deal if they get negative? Some issues effect people negatively…it’s a disservice to the people to ignore those issues because of some goal of positivity.

PErsonal attacks are what we should avoid, in theory.

Great campaigns are positive. They positively address the negatives of their opponents.

Kilgore’s attacks are wild, confused, distracted, irresponsible, and weak.

When there’s just nothing positive about the campaign, it should be put out of its misery. That’s how I feel about Kilgore’s campaign. Too sick to be allowed to continue.

I would only hope that Kaine would start being more aggressively negative towards Kilgore’s campaign and especially his campaign manager.

Scott Howell is imported sleeze who needs to leave Virginia politics to Virgninans.
