I don’t get it.

Presidents from Lincoln to FDR to LBJ have campaigned during times of war, wrapped up in the flag. And, until now, few complained.

All of a sudden the Democrats are aghast over the Republicans’ use of President Bush’s Sept. 11 Air Force One picture for campaign purposes.

The hypocrisy is amazing, considering the same Democrats recently sold presidential pardons like the Catholic Church once sold indulgences, and took campaign money from the communist Chinese.

Besides, the Democrats just appear to be hopeless.

The Democrats are resorting to cheap attacks in the face of Bush’s big poll numbers.

Ultimately I’m left asking, why I should care if Bush is selling photos of himself?

For a regular voter like myself, the real issue is this:

Why are the Democrats wasting time on stupid stuff like this?

There are numerous issues, such as prescription drugs and education, that need attending to.

The Democrats should get to work providing alternatives to Republican policies on these issues instead of playing desperate political games.
