The Dems are the ones who try to exploit it, and they have the colossal nerve to claim the Republicans are.
People need to know the truth, and the truth is that Bush IS defending the country, while the Dems would sell us out to the UN, and God knows how many terror attacks we would have had, if Bush hadn't taken such decisive action.
John Kerry: A Peacenik for President?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1081454/posts "There is literally a danger to the nation if John Kerry should ever occupy the oval office in these turbulent and hazardous times. He seems oblivious to our being at war. The 3000 dead Americans of 9/11 seem invisible and garbled in his mind with a hatred of President Bush. Kerry's muddled thinking about Mr. Bush's ''exaggeration and lies'' misled him into voting for the war in Iraq.
There is a real question about what he would do if he were President and, if we suffered another major terrorist attack here at home. Would he try to ''talk and negotiate'' with the terrorists or would he fire off a few ineffectual cruise missiles a la Clinton? Or would he be frozen into inactivity while he waited for whiz kids like Kofi Annan to respond to our call for help or to offer their ''international'' permission to retaliate?
Let's face it: all indicators--and there are thirty-plus years worth to look at--tell us in our hearts that John Kerry may not be a wuss but he is a confirmed peacenik in time of war, and we'll still be at war in November 2004. The last kind of commander-in-chief that we need is a peacenik! The unbreakable Republican majority in the House and Senate can hopefully protect the country from most Kerryesque stupidities in economic policy. But a Jane Fonda think-alike in the role of president scares me! It should terrify most thinking Americans."
The Dems are the ones who try to exploit it, and they have the colossal nerve to claim the Republicans are. If the Republicans held their convention in any other city, for any other reason, the RATS would say "they're afraid to show their faces in New York City because of how they failed on 9-11".
Being a RAT means you can stand on both sides of the fence. They have a special logic all their own.
