The acid test is the absolute silence of the Democrats on 9/11. Not only are the Democrats silent on 9/11, they have allowed Bush to continue campaigning himself as the hero of 9/11, when even the official story doesn't allow for a misconception of that magnitude. The obvious tactic of cutting Bush off at the knees for his complete failure to protect America on 9/11 is the most glaring defect in the Kerry campaign. Kerry has rolled over like a whipped cur at every partisan attack on his ability to protect America from terrorists, and has never once countered the attacks by pointing out the abysmal failure of the Bush Cartel to do the same. The simple fact of the matter is even the most superficial questioning of Bush's leadership on 9/11 stands a chance of opening the lid on Pandora's box. The subject is taboo. No one is allowed to question Bush's leadership on 9/11, because Bush's leadership on 9/11 won't hold up to questioning. Most of America has forgotten there are questions that should have been answered, and the Democrats want it to stay that way. It's also worth taking a look at what happened in the Democratic primaries. Kerry started out at close to the bottom of the pile. Kucinich, who had a voting record in favor of the American people straight across the board, which should have given him a shot at the title, found himself up against the straw man Howard Dean. The support Kucinich would have enjoyed, at the critical turning point, went to the poser Dean. As soon as Kucinich had been shut out, Dean floated to the surface belly up, stinking to high heaven. While we're at it, it should also be noted that Al Gore was a PNAC good ol' boy. 9/11 probably would have happened no matter who won in 2000..
