President Bush talks about his record, and Democrats demand that he shut up.
September 11, 2001, marked the worst foreign attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor--the bloodiest ever on the American mainland. It's certainly been the defining event of George W. Bush's Presidency. But according to Democrats and their media echo chamber, it now shouldn't be a campaign issue.

Okay, I'll say it real slowly, so maybe this time you can catch it. I got your faulty reasoning the first time.
Obviously.
Your complaint is without merit.

the already over stretched military Oh, you bet CWO, deployment to places like Haiti are in our best national interest. It's much better to send our troops to voodo land than our own, bleeding, wide open borders, that have turned into a national disgrace, and a national security time bomb.
Go get um CWO...

Kerry can regale us with his "heroics" in Vietnam of 30 years ago; yet it is improper for Bush to remind us of the deadliest attack on American soil and his response to it. Left wing logic at work. And not just that -- it's wrong for Bush to even make a brief mention of 9/11 but it's perfectly okay for these 9/11 professional victims to blame Bush for the event, and to have a campaign rally today at Ground Zero. Who's exploiting what?

More than a handful of young people are just experiencing what the Patriot Act has in store for them and they don't like it. Warrantless searches of their cars when stopped at a supposed DUI checkpoint, for instance. "Your Papers, Please"- driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance. These fishing expeditions don't fool anyone, especially the younger ones. C'mon -- cops have been doing that for a good 20 years. That's now Bush's fault, too?
To: NYCVirago
Who's exploiting what?Exactly
That is the thing with liberals. Only they have the right "feelings". A conservative (read as "caveman") is too dense to understand feelings.

LOL!
You should spend less time worried about what you consider a national disgrace and more in your own entertaining side show.
To: cyncooper
So, it is your opinion that it is perfectly justified - no, desirable- for a political campaign to show the body of a deceased person in an ad without regard for the survivors' wishes in that regard. Classy. Maybe next he can show some dead cops in an anti-crime ad.

I am saying it is entirely appropriate for images from 9/11 to be presented as they have by the Bush campaign.
I certainly am saying that.
