bush's leadership after 9-11 is the platform? WHAT fucking leadership?
THIS is what they are focusing on? how the mighty george dubya responded after 9-11? THIS is what they are bragging about and having the convention in NYC for? excuse the fuck out of me?

I have not seen one iota of leadership from that idiot since he panicked and went terror-faced in the classroom and sat there like a scared kid. can anyone show me how he has been decisive and strong in the face of 9-11? no, no one can.

yet, that is the focus and big lie of this week's convention. steady leadership in a time of change. no fucking way.

1. If this is his platform, then Kerry/Edwards ...
... need to run a split-screen of 9/11 victims falling to their death and George Bush sitting in a classroom like a deer in headlamps.

6. you are right
There was no leadership from him or Guilani that I can see. They mostly showed up for photo ops. I do remmeber Clinton walking around in the streets talking to people which seemed to give them a lot of comfort.

Unfortunately there is no way the Kerry campaign or democrats are going to challenge them on this.

7. They're not talking to you
They're not talking to anyone that actually thinks. You're just an America hating liberal.

He's been strong in bombing other countries. As long as they're fighting over there, they're not fighting here. Homeland. America is strong, and getting stronger. The economy is coming back. Vigilance. We must protect this country from imminent threat. Homeland. Small business. Trial lawyer. He wants to create an ownership society. We'll all own a piece of the American Dream. Terrorist. America is safer. Tom DeLay. They'll make sure taxes stay low, and get lower. They want us to keep more of our money. They're bringing freedom to Iraq.

8. Yea but he sure looked good with that bullhorn didn't he?
I wonder how many times we'll see that image. Three years of incompetence and faliure covered up by 90 seconds of standing on a pile of rubble.

9. They can say anyhing they want because the media won't report the truth...
- I would guess that most Americans have never seen F911 or pictures of Bush* sitting stunned in the classroom as thousands died. In fact...the media has spun the exact opposite.

13. Whaddya mean he hasn't been a leader?
He led us into two wars -- one against Afghanistan, the other against Iraq.

15. We've been adrift
since January 2001, the states have been left to fend for themselves. There hasn't been any domestic policy, except blatant thefts of the treasury to comfort the rich.
