How DARE Pataki imply Democrats wouldn't defend the US
against terrorism.

BUSH *IGNORED* the problem of terrorism in favor of ICBMs when he took office, yet Pataki blames Clinton?! Clinton fought Republicans in Congress EVERY step of the way, and the Republicans claimed he was "wagging the dog" re: bin Laden!!!

And he then DARES imply that Democrats wouldn't have fought back after 9/11????

This is DISGUSTING.

1. What is wrong with his voice...
The inflections and cadence doesn't sound like him.

And forget about the bullshit - I need hip boots. :puke:

17. What were FDR and Truman? Dog meat?
Republicans only start wars, they do not fight them.

3. They're overplaying their hand
I think they're under the delusion that the Anne Coulter approach is gonna work.

************

"Bush did business with Bin Laden's bankers while Kerry...was fighting to shut it down to terrorist and drug connections."

"Long before September 11, 2001, George W. Bush got a 25 million dollar loan from the same bankers that dealt with bin Laden and Saddam Hussein, while John Kerry was fighting to stop this bank's global laundering of money for drug lords and terrorists. John Kerry shut it down. He's been fighting terrorism at its roots since before George Bush ran for office."

8. of course dems wouldn't..
Don't you know dems are the weak chickenhawk party while repukes always are the first to step up and serve their country.. Bush and Cheney are real combat heroes, who know how to defend a country because they are just so tough.. I mean Kerry can fire an m=16 but when he does flowers come out of it.. When Bush fires his gun, real bullets come out..Him and Cheney are real manly men, tough on them terrorist..

9. pataki is disgusting as Juliass is
and what I find more disgusting is this is all for their own political gains and someone should point that out. This is a disgusting display to all the families of 911.

10. A Democrat would have read the Hart-Rudman report on global terror
when it was given to him in Jan. 2001.

11. They've gone nuts
9/11 was a horrible failure. The fact that they're now saying "re-elect us because 9/11 happened on our watch" is the sickest and most fucked up piece of politics I'll hopefully ever see.

15. It was real manly of him to say he and Kerry never debated in college.
And tonight, he's going to end that by laying out the facts on Kerry and Bush. His perspectives and nobody else's.

Brilliant! About as charismatic as your speaking ability.
