I have never understood why the Democrats
have never been able to get organized and collectively scold the Repubs for using 9/11 for political gain. The Republican convention and the Chimp's campaign were a joke and we let them get away with it and now, with Rove's comments, they are starting anew. What is the problem?
Dean, Kerry, Kennedy, Clinton, Clark, Reid and all Democrats should be screaming from the mountaintops. I give up :banghead:

1. I too have wondered about this.
They've milked the hell outta those victims, and no one has called them on it in the mainstream media. It's sickening.

5. Who is denying major TV interviews to Dean , Kerry, Obama, Hillary, etc?
They could go on the shows and make the remarks themsleves rather than waiting for the media to repeat their remarks.

Blaming the media for what DEMs wont say will only get us so far.

3. Rove's actions are going to sucessful tie again the soft of terror/war
label to Dems. Only one repuke(Little Ricky) has so far said anything close to negatory for Rove. Contrast that to the shit Dean/Durbin took from their own. Barney Frank, Edwards, Biden, Richardson, Pelosi, Daley. And Dean/Durbin were telling the truth, not just opinion, the truth.
The meek shall inherit the earth, but not congress and certainly not the presidency.
