Typical

In typical right-wing nonsense they are being there typical hypocritial selves yet again. They bitched about an add that democrats ran showing flag-drapped coffins of dead soldiers from the occupation of Iraq. I almost would agree with that. Here are the quotes from the add:

National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) Chairman Tom Reynolds (R-NY): "It makes my stomach turn to see national Democrats so blatantly exploit the sacrifices made by the men and women of our armed forces." (Jonathan E. Kaplan, "Reynolds Calls On Dems To Apologize For Web Ad," The Hill, 7/13/06)

Rep. Geoff Davis (R-KY) Labels DCCC Ad "The Most Tasteless Gesture [He Had] Seen In [His] Time In Politics." Rep. Davis: "Well, frankly, I think this is the most tasteless gesture I've seen in my time in politics. And I have to say this, this issue is not about whether we have honest disagreements on policy and the war, on foreign policy, that's what our republic is about, debate. However, this completely dishonors those who have served." (Fox News' "Fox And Friends," 7/13/06)

Rep. Davis: "To show those images in a time of war, does have a morale effect. It certainly is something that our enemies are watching as well. I think we need to focus the debate on policy and not using the bodies of our soldiers as human shields to try to advance a political agenda that doesn't serve them." (Fox News' "Fox And Friends," 7/13/06)

Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX): "The families of the fallen heroes of the War on Terror deserve our utmost respect and compassion. They do not deserve to see the deaths of loved ones exploited by Rep. Emanuel and the DCCC." (Robert B. Bluey, "GOP Seeks To Capitalize On Democrats' Coffin Ad," Human Events, 7/12/06)

Rep. Mike Conaway (R-TX): "The insensitivity of the Democrats to the families of the fallen troops is disrespectful, and the fact that they are using this as a way to somehow raise money is more than disturbing. A huge apology to the troops and their families is owed by everyone involved in this travesty." (Robert B. Bluey, "GOP Seeks To Capitalize On Democrats' Coffin Ad," Human Events, 7/12/06)

Now nevermind Bush used a coffin as a prop on a campaign stop once but that's ok. Now hear is why I'm upset about this: Ohio Senator Mike Dewine is using 9/11 to attack his democratic challenger. Now is it only ok for republicans to use 9/11 to their advantage or what.

I bring this up because if a republican used 9/11 I would be running a counter add showing W doing nothing even though he was told. I would show an add showing what congress did what the senate did (all republican controlled by the way) because if the republicans want to use the devastation on 9/11 to their advantage it should be noted they did nothing to prevent it.
