Path to 9/11
Today I received a missive from the Democratic party to protest ABC's Path to 9/11. They contend that it incorrectly puts the blame for 9/11 on the Democrats by showing scenes that not only did not happen but are directly opposite of what did happen. As much as I hate to condemn unseen, I did send an email to Eisner protesting. I did this for two reason.
The first is that this close to election day I considerate it bad taste to show a partisan docudrama on 9/11. I have no objection to the movie "World Trade Center", in fact I thought it was a great movie( My only bitch is that in the movie the two marines were white while in real life one was black. This is mainly a problem because of the big hubbub that was made over the the picture of the flag raising that included a black when there was none.). I intend to see United 93.
The second is the sheer absurdity that the Democrats can be blamed for what happened. The house and the senate have been under Republican control since 1994, the Presidency since 1/1/2001. It is the Republicans who are always saying they want to cut the budget ( except of course corporate welfare). It is this president who decided that China and Iraq were the big threats and ignore the terrorist.
Remember this - less than 300 people ( which includes Oklahoma) have died under a Democratic president as a result of terrorism. Over 6,000 have died under this president and the number continues to climb. I can not recall a lot of terrorist attacks under Clinton world wide ( excluding Israel). There have been a great many under this president and more happening everyday.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt - We have nothing to fear but fear itself.
The Republican Party - Fear everything
American Motto - Old - Land of the Free Home of the Brave
New - Land of the spied upon Home of the Chicken

Interesting analysis. My issue with this is that both parties should stop crying about movies and try to convince me to vote for them with actually ideas.
Republicans - Bad Ideas
Democrats - No Ideas
Greens - Ideas that nobody listens to
