Well, the attacks happened less than three years ago and some of us seem to have forgotten. It's a historical event which highlights our national security concerns. Some would like us to believe we are secure and the real problems are here at home, and this just isn't the case. The real problem people have with this campaign is that the democrats had nothing, and still have nothing to do with this nations defense. Make no mistake, if they had a president in the white house they would air roughly the same add highlighting their achievements. I have seen the add and it isn't doom and gloom. It highlights the accomplishments of this administration and the Americans (which is what political ads are designed to do). Are you suggesting the president should ignore such an incredible milestone in his administration and this nations history in order not to offend?
It happened. We have to deal with it, and this is just a reminder.
What sickens me are the constant comparisons of Bush to the Nazi's and any other crap person one can find in history.
The Moveon.org ad's are extremely offensive.
These ad's run by Bush are not inflamatory. They rejoice in the American spirit. Which is certainly more than I can say for that other party. If you don't believe me check out moveon and tell me there is a positive message there. It doesn't exist.
The dems have done nothing but politicize this war since the beginning, or nearly 6 months after the attack. They have suggested everything from Bush knew about it, to fighting for oil. Bush finally comes back with something which explains what happened in REALITY and it's called offensive. So I get your point. Bush=bad right? I think you'll find come November, most the country does not think that way. They're just not in your face about it 24 hours a day. Or more appropriatley they don't need to be.

By the way. By making the post you already made a political point. So I think it's to late to put political associations aside.

My point was: I don't agree with using 9/11 to promote your campaign. If any candidate had done this, I would have made the same exact post.

You are right, most political campaign ads are mudslinging and trash on any side of an election. But I will take some mudslinging over the use of 9/11 any day.

Yes, this was a milestone in the history of the United States, but it wasn't a positive one, it's not something Bush achieved. It is something that happened during his administration, something he *had* to deal with, just as any President would have had to. I will not applaud him just because he happened to be president on September 11th, 2001.

As for democrats using the war as a political device: war is a conscious choice, a choice people can disagree with. September 11th was not a choice.

and again... I am not a democrat.

I don't think anyone has forgotten.
