Democrats Pull 'Flag-Draped Coffin' Ad
Democrats pulled an Internet ad that showed flag-draped coffins Friday after Republicans and at least two Democrats demanded it be taken down on grounds the image was insensitive and not fit for a political commercial.
The ad by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee called for a "new direction" and displayed a staccato of images, including war scenes, pollution and breached levees as well as a photograph of former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay doctored to look like a police mug shot.
Semperfortis, why are you doing the "it's the other party's fault" blame game? Don't you know there is no difference at this point between Repubs and Dems and neither party is serving the People?

Of a Victim of the 9/11 terror attack....
The Dems, show coffins of our soldiers.
Only if you believe that particular political opinion.

As for the coffins from 9/11, if you read the news then you are aware that the families of the victims, gave President Bush their COMPLETE authorization to run those pictures.
Sorry, but if you don't know the difference, you either were never in combat and lost a friend, never lost a loved one, (Unlike Sheehan who had no contact with her son for years prior to the war) or you just don't get it.
If you don't get it, it is beyond me to help.

Semper i love ya buddy but you and I never agree....
You have voted Elsenorpompom for the Way Above Top Secret award. You have used all of your votes for this month.
You just got my last one my friend and well deserved!!!
I ask only one thing though.
That you consider my mind set. Everyday I put on my weapon and leave my home with the mindset that if I can save a life, any life, by sacrificing mine, I must. I am duty bound to throw my body in between a bullet and even the lowest crack dealer, murderer or rapist.
So an honorable death has always meant very much to me.
