Democrats Should Play Their Own WTC Ad

[volosong]

Democrats should run a political ad during the Republican Convention which shows the twin towers collapsing with a notation that goes something like:


Three thousand people didn't die for one political party.

They didn't die so politicians could use their deaths to political advantage

They died because America was vulnerable to terrorism.

We still are...

1. I think not......republican exploitation

and profiteers have caused enough shame for a life time.

2. Great idea. Never happen.

3. GREAT....

I'm so infuriated by this convention and the planned script to "harken back the good old days" when Bush stood at ground zero... This is WRONG and it absolutely uses the dead as political props!!! The 9/11 families should be demanding a platform to speak their outrage!!

ANY person who was president at that time would have looked good and Bush actually looked bad, flying around hiding from it all... I remember Guliani being beyond heroic during this (I'm a New Yorker) and I remember being disgusted by Bush's flying from place to place...

WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE??? I can only hope something will backfire, maybe starting with the 9/11 tribute tonight...the dead will awaken and they are not too far from the Garden...watch out Bush...

4. One problem

Bushco has convinced a lot of people (not me) that he will be (is) tough on terror. I know it is a crock of shit but he wins on that issue because the repugs have us painted as soft on defense. I do not know how you change this prevailing opinion but they have done it and that is the only thing bush has. This very nebulous notion that bush can some how lead? We need to focus on the economy, jobs, health care and the enviroment and the bushco lies about everything else will be taken care of when he loses!

5. I think even better

would be to show the twin towers being hit on one side and Bush sitting in the classroom on the other side, just like in F-911.

6. I like your idea better. Nice conception.
