"A.) Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was not aware thay Kerry has any national advertising featuring people complaining about W's use of 9/11 imagery. Everything I've heard on that was in the news, not advertisements, and nothing I read many any mention of Kerry advertising." - Max
Of course not, he wouldn't want to violate the new campaign finance laws now would he?
"B.) The article purports that Kerry has given to organizations that some of these 'complainers' are members of. If this is what means he 'pid' them to do it, so have I, since I've contributed to some of those same organizations. The op-ed makes this seem as if the claim is that Kerry hired actors, as opposed to actual people who actually gree with him, who I don't think were hired to appear in ads I'm not aware of." - Max
9 out of the 11 people that were quoted were paid by Kerry and were given talking points in interviews. I've heard these interviews and ALL of them used the same EXACT terminology. The point is, they are agents from the democratic party who have been paid to speak out against Bush. Here is a sample.....
VOICE I: I think for someone like President Bush who has not cooperated with this commission, who has stonewalled this commission.
VOICE II: This president and his administration blocked the creation of the commission, have stonewalled the commission.
VOICE I: If this was realistic from the morning of September 11th, it would show President Bush before a group of school children listening to them read, while the twin towers were burning.
VOICE II: If he wants to show a picture of 9-11 depicting what he was doing, it should be a picture of him sitting and reading in a classroom to school children. That's where he was on 9-11.
VOICE I: And we need to find out why 3,000 people were murdered on his watch.
VOICEII: Well, you know, this happened on his watch.
"C.) I think since W said he had no intention of politicsing 9/11 (a laughable claim at the time) and since he will not allow any media coverage of dead soldiers returning home, his use of of the dead from 9/11 is, to use one of your favorite words, hypocritical."
Seriously Max, how can he not allow media coverage of any type? He was our president on 9/11 and he should be allowed to use it as an example of how his leadership prevailed during that time.........and if people disagree, so be it.
"D.) If W. wants to politicize his involvment with and connection to 9/11, I say 'bring it on.'"
You might....but Kerry and democratic pundits are afraid because they know it's a strong point for Bush with the American people.
"I think people will come to find it more and more distatsteful the more he does it. I also think his record of actions since then bears all the attention it can get, from his decision to tie our military down in Iraq, to virtually ignoring Pakistans role in the creation of the Taliban and the Nuclear black market, two things Iraq was not involved in, to the insulting, platry single hour he'll give the biprtisan committee investigating 9/11. He's spent more time than that dolling out ribs for a photo op. If that's the leadership he wants to draw attention to, I'm all for it."
I think you are dead wrong....if that were the case, democrats wouldn't be complaining about it.....but we'll have to wait and see.
"E.) As a pre-emtive strike on claims of waffling, I refer you to W's positions on the inestigation of intelligence failures prior to 9/11, the creation of a department of homeland security, and a committee to investigate intelligence failures regrding WMD. All three of these things he opposed and thenb supported once it became clear the direction and speed the wind was blowing."
If you want to talk about waffling lets talk about John Kerry who has waffled on every issue that exists. It looks as if the dems nominated the wrong man.
