So Majority Leader John Boehner today wondered “whether Democrats are more interested in protecting the terrorists than protecting the American people.”
And this comes with a chorus of Democratic complaints about whether the president was politicizing 9/11 in his speech last night.
This might be a moment when everyone should look to their own senator or representative, look at how they’re approaching this election fight and let them know if they’re screwing up.
The response to all of this should be really simple. It might go something like this. “I wouldn’t mind if the president were politicizing 9/11 so much if he hadn’t failed so badly at rounding up the people responsible for it. The president pulled our troops out of Afghanistan for Iraq when they had Osama in their grasp and he’s still at large 5 years later. And he’s still pretending that Iraq had something to do with 9/11. People need to make a decision on November 7th. Is five years of failure enough? If people think President Bush is on the right course, they should vote Republican. If they think it’s time for a change, they should vote Democratic.”
It’s that simple. Remember, the issue of politicization should be an afterthought. Failure is the issue.
Had enough?
