Hopefully, this will continue to be a theme coming up to the Pubbies Convention...

Can we talk about John Kerrys vast war experience?

Actually, having this idea (to NOT talk about 9/11) in the media could very well backfire (to them) and help Bush. People will still make the association of Bush being great for us at a time of crisis, even if the Pubbies themselves are fairly quiet about it.

The Democrats are the Party Of 9/10. They think the next day never happened and in the same breath, they have the chutzpah to demand Republicans refrain from "politicizing", e.g, mentioning the subject. Its like not being allowed to discuss Pearl Harbor during World War II. There was a time when the Democrats set aside politics for the sake of the country but this time they will not permit the country's welfare to be placed ahead of their narrow-minded quest for political advantage. And if they want to talk about division and hate, well we know who's been stirring that up for the last three and half years don't we? No, its time to talk about 9/11 and we certainly are allowed to remember who the real villains are.

Senator Clinton, too, warned President Bush that he better not talk about 9/11 too much, or show too many images. "It has to be done in a careful way or people will think he's exploiting it,"

Interpretation of Hillary-speak:  If you remind people of the most tragic attack in US history, we will politicize this issue and attempt to damage you with it. 

What a disgusting piece of debris she is.

I hope they plaster the WTC attacks over every media outlet!

But then, this is the new and sensitive GOP; I shouldn't get my hopes up, now should I?

We must apply the "Critical Thinking" skills that are taught in Government Schools. That means it is appropriate to Criticize everything about the current US policies, but inappropriate to point out anything good about those policies.

The Democrats would never politicize anything, with the possible exception of race, age, class, gender, sexual orientation, religion, Max Cleland, health care, pollution, taxes, terrorism, North Korea, foreign policy, domestic policy, prison abuse, Iran, prescription drugs, body armor, corporate fraud, Israel, reproductive health, Joe Wilson, social security, Palestine, Osama Bin Laden, faith-based charities, medicare, China, the environment, health care, the economy, Saddam Hussein, the United Nations, National Guard Service, Vietnam, France, pharmaceutical research, and 9/11. Plus a few thousand more things.

Since they're going to sqwak anyway, how about if the official theme of the Republican National Convention is "A Vote For Kerry Is A Vote For Osama Bin Laden".

I agree 100-percent!

I am amazed that we don't see the images more frequently. What better way to maintain focus than to keep in mind the very image of why we are fighting?

"Remember the Alamo!" -- "Remember Pearl Harbor!"

But the advice of HRC is "Forgetaboutit!"

These are people who have no conscience. She places her party's desire for power above national security and above national resolve.

Take her to the woodshed.

It might even discuss things that Bush has accomplished THIS CENTURY.

And 1942 politicians should have completely ignored Pearl Harbor, I guess. Oh - that's right - the parties agreed to protect the US in those days, didn't they?

Actually, the GOP ought to go on the offensive with this one. Loudly proclaim the fact that Dims don't want to talk about 9/11. Put it up-front that Kerry's party sees 9/11 as a disadvantage because it emphasizes their weaknesses. And it seems their biggest regret about that day is that it disfavors them politically.

I believe Speaker No. 1, Hillary, the NY bag lady, highlighted 9-11 in her opening remarks and said it was THEIR efforts that brought about the 9-11 "BI-PARTISAN" Commission.

You don't keep insisting that you're patriotic unless there is some doubt that you are; and you don't plead for silence on one of the most momentous events in American history unless you have nothing effective to say about it.

BINGO

I'm rather sure 9/11 will be on everyones mind and in the air. I just hope we don't have new attacks overshadow the Rep Convention.

I'm series.
