Poll question: Which is worse: RNC dissing of veterans or 9/11 victims?
Which is worse?

Disrespecting veterans, denigrating their injuries and passing judgment on how much they did/didn't bleed by wearing bandaids with purple hearts?

Disrespecting those who died on 9/11 by exploiting them as if all who suffered were Republicans, as if all who were heroic that day were Republicans, and as if the dead wouldn't mind being used to promote the Republican party?

They're both a new LOW in politics, so I'm having a hard time deciding. :mad:

1. I have not and will not watch the RNC Convention but
the slimy, greasy, exploitation of the 9/11 victims is sickening. Also, I hope that all of America's veterans will wake up and realize which party honors and respects their service.

2. Using the worst tragedy in American history is bad enough
but slandering a genuine war hero is just as bad, imo. Kerry did volunteer, though, and knew full well that he may die. The people who died on 9/11 were just going about their everyday lives. Anyone, Republican, Democrat, or otherwise, who uses this tragedy for political gain is not fit to hold political office, including city dog catcher. This transparent attempt by the bas...er repubs to politicize 9/11 should not be tolerated. Spread the word people, because we know the mainstream media isn't going to report on this.
