As long as there is "terrorism", there will be Republicans who will try to profit off of it
When there was terrorism plots or attempts under Bush, we were all told by Republicans and the 'liberal' media that we were willing to put partisan politics aside, that we were all willing to get behind Bush, and that we were willing to give up some freedoms in order to make us supposedly safer.

When it happens under Obama, not so "let's all get behind the President" anymore, huh?

We were told that we should pass Bush's domestic agenda lest we want to embolden the terrorists.

However with Obama, the domestic agenda should be put on the back burner so that he can focus on fighting terrorists.

Then there's also Rudy "9/11" Giuliani, the 9/12 movement, etc.

It really is bizarre that our party's greatest opposition is a pack of birther nutjobs and ghouls, isn't it?
