Reports coming out that the attempted bomber in NY (Faisal Shahzad) was a registered Democrat and possibly even donated to the Obama campaign..

What a surprise considering the number of Democrats who have tried to link him to people upset over healthcare, or the tea party movement..

Slamming Democrats is one thing, your OP is ludicrous and insulting.

I think you make a great point. The political parties should make it clear that they do not want would-be terrorists registering or donating money to them. They could even have a question on the form when you register .... "do you intend to become a terrorist in the foreseeable future?"

I'd rather wait for the facts to emerge about this man before jumping to any conclusions. He's probably got a library card too, and a Starbucks card, lets examine those links before we know any facts.
