Flight 253 attack puts terrorism debate back in front of political playbook

Republicans are pressing their line of attack on the issue of national security in the wake of the attempted Christmas Day bombing.
One day after Democrats excoriated Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.), ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, for using the near takedown of a passenger jet in a fundraising appeal for his campaign for governor, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) took a page from from Hoesktra’s playbook.
In an email to supporters Wednesday, NRSC Executive Director Rob Jesmer cited the attempted terrorism, along with healthcare legislation, as reasons contributors should pony up to Republicans.
"[T]his country was one faulty detonator away from an American airliner being blown out of the sky," Jesmer wrote in the solicitation. "Remember right after the inauguration, it was revealed President Obama no longer wanted to acknowledge the 'global war on terror' and referred to terrorist acts as 'man-made disasters'? Back then you and I knew that showed a remarkable lack of understanding of the threat America faced but in the face of what nearly happened a couple days, it is even more infuriating.
"To you and me and our friends throughout America, the healthcare bill is a man-made disaster,” the letter adds. “And when a foreigner tries to blow up an airliner, it is an attempted terrorist attack.”

I also believe that we should use profiling if necessary if it means the safety of people in America. Forget about political correctness. ...
