The starkest of the stark contrast between the Dems and Repukes

was their reaction to cowardly, despicable terrorist attacks.

Think for a moment about how the Dems responded to the attacks on 9/11/2001, and contrast that with how the Repubs responded to the attack on 9/11/2012.

When this country was attacked, the Dems reaction was to put politics aside and bring this country together, DESPITE their feelings toward George Bush. Dems acknowledged that there would be a time and place to ask the tough questions and investigate what transpired, BUT the Dems also knew that what the country needed more than anything was a united and strong America speaking with one voice.

Contrast that to the Lybia attack. Before the bodies of our Ambassador and those other brave public servants had cooled, the Repukes decided to play political football with the blood soaked heroes of that day. Think about that! Before they even knew that our Ambassador and 3 other brave Americans had been killed, they trotted out some asshat that spent the Vietnam era sipping champagne on the French Riviera to suck up the blood of those killed like a fucking vampire.
