John Re....It's the families of 9/11, the most significant remaining victims. Are you saying they are so perverse as to use the death of their loved ones for mere political purposes? Yes, a lot of dems try to claim killing of their babies is merely a choice to be made by the mother, as if its like choosing which shoes to wear. How much more perverse can you be? These folks are sincere. They don't want their torture turned into a sleazy political marketing scheme. Would you? Those ads were hardly sleazy. They weren't attack add, as we know it. And 9/11 was too important to ignore. For these 117 to claim their right not to see any symbol of 9/11 is more important, than the country's 285 mln people right to discuss it, and giving the country direction, on which way they should proceed is absurd. 9/11 was too big not to be discussed. In addition, we see the history channel show pearl harbor, war footage, police cams etc all the time. Why aren't those people objecting. Because it isn't political, that's why. The same people who want to secularize everyone in America, now don't want the people to discuss any topic, they chose not to discuss.

What "Dems"? It's the families of 9/11, the most significant remaining victims. The families of 9/11 include "dems". The fact that some people who where related to victims of 9/11 disaproves of the add doesn't mean that the majority do. In any case 9/11 isn't just an issue for the families, its an issue for the whole nation and really the world. Bush's actions and words after 9/11 are a legitimate part of the campaign for both sides. Bush's adds are no more an example of using "the death of their loved ones for mere political purposes", then Kerry's add's about his Vietnam service is using the deaths of over 50,000 Americans and many more Vietnamese for political purposes.
