Perhaps it's not McCain's fault that mentioning 9/11 has taken on such a bullsh!ters context, but it has ... and he has to live with that. Mention it, especially as a politician, and you will be rightly suspected as a fearmonger and excusenik.

I think using 9/11 like they do is insulting and degrading to those who lost their lives on on that day.

Pfft, not to mention really badly insulting to the roughly 4,000 Americans who lost their lives in Iraq using 9/11 as an excuse, the roughly same amount of innocent Afghans who lost their lives using 9/11 as an excuse, and the roughly 700,000 innocent Iraqis who lost their lives using 9/11 as an excuse.



Hell is not big enough to contain the likes of Bush, Cheney and their cohorts and minions.

That's why they've taken up residence in Washington, D.C. :evil:

Devil doesn't like competition.

TOTAL AGREEMENT HERE.


Leo, come on, you gotta be kidding me. This isn't 9/11, and the comparison is gross and offensive on many levels. You want to talk about knee-jerk reactions?

Sigh. Please, God and assorted deities and non-deities, tell me that the majority of this country is seeing the ugliness that I'm seeing.

I think you mean magnitude.

If McCain truly wanted to take the high road, he would call on the Congress and the state legislatures to repeal the 22nd Amendment and call for the convening of a new convention to nominate George W. Bush as the Republican party candidate to minimize the risk that the country would have to endure a potentially debilitating transition.

That would be magnanimity.

Perhaps if they hadn't used footage of 9/11 to open up the RNC, they might not be viewed quite as cynically. Republicans have always tried to use 9/11 to their political advantage. And whether or not that is how it was intended today (I am of the belief that it was,) it is going to be viewed with skepticism.

Yep. That's it.
