But republicans get on these shows. Send them out there with a damn backbone! i saw an idiot senator get shouted down by Chris Mathews "How dare you question Kerry's testimony that our troops were war criminals! You weren't in Vietnam!" The Senator pathetically mumbled something about reporters being in Vietnam and not seeing this. The idiot didn't know to say that Kerry himself admitted he saw no war crimes, and now denies he ever said there were war crimes!

Republican policy is better but I sometimes wonder if they deserve to be in power when they don't defend what they're doing (which really means defending MY interests).

I find it hard to believe that there wasn't at least one New York politician who used images of the 911 attack when he or she ran for office in 2002.

I wonder if there is a website that archives campaign ads.

Great idea......start with the first WTC bombing,Khobar Towers, American Embassies in Africa, the USS Cole, and the refusal to take custody of Osama bin Laden.

Democrat legacy for all to see!

You want to see ABC and CBS shut up? Just point out these ads are mostly on cable and if they keep talking about them, people will watch cable to see them.

I was watching CNN earlier (I have to, for my work, don't ask) and they had Ed Rendell on. He was asked about this. He said it was appropriate to use WTC images.

I know some hate all Democrats, but for a liberal, I've always felt Rendell was a stand-up kind of guy, as when he said Gore should drop out immediately after the Supreme Court decision in 2000 and the liberals came down on him for that.

Congressman Tom Cole of Oklahoma gave an excellent defense of our president to Judy Woodruff today.

He rightfully insisted that the democrats owe the president an apology for their rhetoric these last few months.

Turn on Mark Levin on WABC radio instead. He's kicking the rats' butt - big time. He had a couple of NYC firefighters call in with great commentary

Former NYC police commissioner Kerick was on with Wolf Blitzed and gave an outstanding commentary on President Bush's accomplishments and the lack of Mr. Kerry's attention to national security.

Rendell has a 37% approval rating in PA ... he's not going to say something stupid for the rats at this time

The libs are already crying. Meaning the Bush ads must have hit a nerve.
Good!

The slogans being hung at ground zero after 9-11 said "Never Forget".
The Dem obviously now wish we would forget 9-11, because they know how weak they (and Kerry) are when it comes to national security.
