When the GOP convention rolls around how loud will the DemocRATS scream when the GOP even mentions 9/11 at least once.
The DNC convention had a tribute (or at least they tried)for 9/11, but the GOP convention will have the real tribute. We all know the DemocRATS will be screaming at the top of thier lungs about the GOP exploiting 9/11 for political purposes, and convientently forget that 9/11 was mentioned at their convention.
When the people who led us through 9/11 speak the Dems will be whining as usual, so I just hope the GOP doesn't allow them to succeed in making the GOP look like their exploiting 9/11. When the American people have to choose between the Repubican lite DNC reinvention convention or the Real Patriotic GOP convention they will choose THE REAL DEAL!
Very, extremely, loudly. Screw 'em if they do.
Probably as loud as the Republicans screamed during the Dem convention when they did.
The Dems have been exploiting 9/11 for the past two years. Turnabout is fair play.
Like a stuck pig (i.e., loudly).
They will and they will do so loudly. Some of it will be classic partisanship. Some of it will be rooted in the truth. For while President Bush has overall done a reasonable job during this trying time, his campaign has cloaked him and it in the fear of terrorism and he is the "only" person who can see us through this. He is one of many.
The Democrats are frantically trying to turn back the clock to September 10, 2001.
How about this: We won't bring up 9/11 if they stop bringing up Kerry's war record.
I hope the RNC doesn't pull the plug on ANY 9/11 mention or remembrance. It's been only three years. I remember it everyday. Changed everthing for me.
I say go right for it. Let them fume and spume... they hate will come out one way or another. Let's bring it on. It's important to "never forget".
Perhaps, but John Kerry certainly isn't one of those many. It was very clear from his convention speech that Kerry wants America to forget 9/11 ever happened. He spoke of fighting the war on terror, but then he spoke even more vociferously of getting the world to love us and look up to us again. He fails to see the fundamental disconnect between those two goals. The majority of the world does not want to fight terror. Europe wants to appease it. The Third World wants to foster it. We and only a few others actually want to end it, and as long as we oppose terrorism, the world will not love us.
Kerry promised to have our national security turned over to the UN before his speech. I believe that's exactly how he'd handle it. He did absolutely nothing in the Senate for over 20 years. He didn't even show up for work. He wouldn't bother with terrorism, either. He'd just pass it off like he does everything else. He a fake. An elitist do-nothing trying to appear important.
The RNC should start making sure they put a lot of half second shots of Ground Zero and sattelite shots of Lower Manhattan in all of their ads. Let the 'Rats (heh heh) scream and holler and make themselves look like idiots for a solid month in the run up to the RNC. Then by the time the Convention rolls around, most people will think that the 'Rats (heh heh) are just too sensitive about these things...
Sure, President Bush is one of many, but the "many" are part of his administration, acting under his direction.
A Kerry administration would be far less aggressive. The advisors that he has chosen so far don't fit at all with his hawkish tone lately.
All anyone would need to do in order to see how Kerry would handle terrorism is to look at the way his advisors did it in the past. They did pretty much nothing.
They will be very loud, but that's just too bad.
They keep saying this election is a referendum on Bush. This is part of Bush's record. Fair game per their own standards.
They're gonna scream, no matter what we do.
They HAVE to have some disagreement with us about something.
Otherwise they won't have talking points to parrot on all the news shows.
Just let them scream. That's what they do best!
I'm about ready for the New Tone crap to end and the truth to be told, loud and clear.
And I have a sneaky feeling it's about to happen.
If Bush loses this election because of the New Tone, you're gonna see one PO'd SD.
Bush should enter the convention in a Harrier jet. Set it down on the street outside convention hall. As co-pilot of course.
Ditto.
And too bad, so sad.
