Rove Right about One Thing

Rove is right: there are differences

White House spokesman Scott McClellan says that Karl Rove just meant that Democrats and Republicans had "different philosophies" when it comes to their reactions following 9/11. We agree. Our philosophies couldn't be more different when it comes to fighting international terrorism. Let's compare:

Democrats: Believe capturing the person primarily responsible for the attack should be a top priority.

Republicans: It's been four years, and Osama bin Laden is still free, even though Bush's CIA chief says he knows where he is.

Democrats: Investigate the intelligence failures that led to 9/11.

Republicans: Do everything in their power to block the 9/11 Commission from doing its work.

Democrats: Propose creating the Department of Homeland Security.

Republicans: Push tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.
