Spitzer warns GOP to not use 9/11 for politics

BOSTON -- New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer had a blunt warning Thursday for Republicans opening their national convention late next month in New York City: Don't politicize the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

"We're going to hear a lot about Sept. 11," Spitzer said about the upcoming GOP convention. "I say this to the Republican Party: With all respect and all deference, do not dare use 9/11 for political purposes."

Blow it out your arse, AG. YOUR side politicized the WOT, now you warn the GOP not to respond to your charges?

A focus on 9/11 would be HUGELY affective. I can understand why the metrosexuals in the Democratic party would be terrified of it.

Spitzer's ego is way out of control.

Hey, Elliot! You don't dictate to the Republican Party, you don't dictate to the President ANYTHING.

Why was it okay to use 9/11 at the Democratic reinvention?

Bush ignored the warning signs for 9/11???? Hmmm, maybe that's why Bubba sent his biatch Sandy Berger into the National Archives to steal memos that were critical of Bubba and company's handling of terrorism throughout the 90s. Clinton left a huge mess for Bush to clean up and yet not only do Democrats want to blame Bush for it they are going to warn us about not politicizing 9/11?

JUST WHAT THE F#@k HAVE THEY BEEN DOING NOW FOR THE PAST YEAR?

"Neither party should use this for politics, so I say to the Republicans, do not go there," Spitzer told cheering New York delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Boston. "It would not be fair or right, and we will not let you do it."

Omigosh!!! He said this at the convention!!! How is that not using it for politics?!
