Bush Uses The Dead of 9/11 As Involuntary Campaign Workers

While watching the Republican convention, I was genuinely startled to see how frightened they are. With most of a 4-year term behind them, they spent an extraordinary amount of valuable time desperately trying to scare the electorate into thinking that their opponent is weak. Zell Miller became a joke when he said that John Kerry will take foreign policy advice from Paris. How did THAT every get past the Bush administration. If they want us to take them seriously they had better get their facts straight. What was even more troubling was their capitalizing on the 2001 terrorist attacks to, once again, try to galvanize support for the Bush administration. Back then, they had that support -- and squandered it -- and their ensuing war on terror has been botched by lack of planning, horrendous international diplomacy. You can’t go home again, they say, and they should leave the 9/11 dead to rest in peace and not become ghostly campaign workers for Bush.
