Christmas right? Republicans want you to spend all your hard earned money on the holidays, and don't they know by jacking up the fear, they maybe preventing places like Macy's from having massive crowds this year? Walmart, K-mart, all have giant sales, and people want to go shopping but, gee.... if we fear a terrorist attack, who is going to go? Do they want us to spend money or not?

seems like they are doing their own war on Christmas, by keeping patrons out of the stores... can't have it both ways Republicans!
