Representative Jim Moran of Virginia has been know to make rather dumb political moves before (see post on townhall meeting with Murtha). Today, he decided to make a 9/11 memorial a political event.
But Moran then maneuvered into more sensitive ground, suggesting that the country was not safer and intimating that the Bush administration's foreign policy was headed in the wrong directions.
“More people hate us,” Moran said, a comment that drew an outburst from the crowd.
“My brother died on 9/11 - don't make this political,” a woman in audience cried out.
Moran continued, calling on the nation to address the root causes of terrorism by the 10th anniversary of the attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center.
I hope the people in his district remember these moves come election day this year.
-Colonel Steve
