Odd schtuff in an even year.

If you have been following along, you know that someone submitted my email address to the DNC, so I now get daily (and sometimes hourly) updates on the Kerry campaign and what “I” can be doing to help. I did, however, sign up voluntarily to get emails from the Bush campaign, and I get those daily as well. I got one email from each campaign today, and I thought I would see if you can pick up the difference that I see daily between the two sides…

From the left:

We are on track for historic turnout in this election. America is coming out in record numbers for John Kerry.

And that has the Republicans scared. They have no plan, no hope, no way to win this election except to stop people from voting. Their strategy is simple:

Discourage Democratic voters from going to the polls by filling the airwaves with predictions of doom and gloom.
Delay voting and create lines at polls by challenging voters and election officials.
Deny voters the opportunity to cast their votes and have them counted.

But their strategy won’t work. We will stop their attempts to deny our rights by using the best weapons in our arsenal: information and education.

From the right:

It is now time to activate our 72 Hour Task Force–the single most important factor for victory on November 2. With your help, we’ll launch the largest and most effective get-out-the-vote ground operation in presidential campaign history.

Let’s get out the vote!

Everything you do will make a difference. In 2000, less than 17,194 votes decided five states, and 55 Electoral College votes. That’s 55 Electoral College votes decided by 2 votes per precinct!

You can make the difference!

Bring your family to the phone bank and turn out our fellow supporters. Recruit your neighbors to burn some shoe leather knocking on doors. Forward this email to your friends and let them know that every phone we call, every email we forward, every door we knock on, every neighborhood we walk, every yard sign we post, and every bumper sticker we stick-matters!

Everything we do will make the difference and we must get out the vote!

Every day, the Bush campaign sends a positive message encouraging me to help get the word out to make sure people vote. Every email tells me how President Bush’s policies will affect me in the next four years. Every message is pro-Bush, not anti-Kerry.

Every day, the Kerry campaign sends a negative message encouraging me to question the Bush campaign because republicans are attempting to disenfranchise the voters. Every email tells me how President Bush’s policies will affect me in the next four years. Every message is anti-Bush, not pro-Kerry.

I have been getting these emails for quite some time and I have yet to get a single email from the democrats telling me why I should actually vote for John Kerry.

I just found that odd.
