Democrats are no stranger to low handed tactics to gain politically.

Seems like there are enough Islamo-phobic right-wingers (see: this thread) to prove there's enough bi-partisan idiocy to go around.

I'd rather be an opportunist than a bigot (and as we're all poker players, we shouldn't hold opportunists in such disregard -- but I certainly agree that this is nothing more than coarse opportunism on behalf of the Democrats; I'll need help understanding the widespread Republican opposition, though, without resorting to explanations that rely on xenophobia).

Points well taken. The Republicans in Congress are behaving no better IMO. It's an election year and they're putting their fingers in the political wind and seeing where they feel they need to be to get re-elected IMO.
