I guess you missed the intro video to John McCain's acceptance speech at the RNC last year. Or every mention of "In the post 9/11 world..." by any Repub, or using 9/11 to push through the Patriot Act, or the fundraiser titled "$9.11 For Rudy" for Guiliani's presidential bid where the admission fee was $9.11...I could keep going. There's plenty of evidence.

If I'm in Loonville, you're the governor of the state of Loonachusetts

Face it - politicians of every stripe use fear, emotion and death as a tool. Not limited to one side or the other.
There's a difference between responding to a major event with specific steps related to that event, and the exploitation of an event.

I don't disagree that politicians of all ideologies exploit events for their own gain ... however, I don't see 9/11 as anything close to that.
