Like I said, taste doesn't enter into it. How about an ad supporting gay marriage, showing two men having anal sex, with the caption, "Is this really hurting you?" A

Hrm, haven't seen any changes suggested that would replace representative government. If you don't like what your legislators do, vote them out and they can make new laws. That's the plan. <TD cla

I don't see tastefulness entering into it, honestly. Thanks for not answering the question. I specifically asked you not to address the politics of my hypothetical (since it is obvious that Bush could not have prevented the attacks) but only the tastefulness. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="9

Tell me, then, would you have any objection to the tastefulness (as opposed to the politics) of an ad that features a video of the collapse of the Towers, followed by a voiceover: "This happened while Bush was President"? As far as "annihilated national landmark", he is reminding people what all the hubbub has been

the democrats would have lambasted him for using the military as advertising, or would have screamed that he shouldn't capitalize on civilian casualites You're grasping at straws. Showing images of the destroyed World Trade Center has NOTHING to do with any of Bush's accomplishments. If you disagree,

I would think that after 2 or 3 years the mourning process would be over and done with. Maybe you're wrong. Did you ever lose a family member? A child or a spouse? <TD class="mb-Body-Quote-Text"

Would you care to explain to me, quite clearly, how the human race came into existence, how the earth was formed?

Reply to Does Bush have a "right" to use 9-11 in his campaign ads? in Politics JoeUser Forums

I think that he is okay as long as he sticks to images of himself or his actions. Simply displaying images of the attacks or of the ensuing destruction says nothing about Bush and is therefore necessarily irrelevant and unacceptable.

But he certainly should use images pointing out what HE did as President I agree completely; he has every right to recall his handling of the situation. My only objection is the wanton use of any old image of the destruction just to stir up bad memories. Showing the collapse of the towers (just as an

I have no problem with President Bush using September 11 images of himself or of things that he did . How does seeing the debris of the fallen towers communicate anything about Bush? You want to show him at Ground Zero, you want to show him talking to the firefighters, you want to show him meeting with Giuliani, whatever, that's all fine. But just to throw a picture of the destruction itself on the screen is a bit much [michael moore]unless Bu
