    (CNN) -- A Florida man is using billboards with an image of the burning World Trade Center to encourage votes for a Republican presidential candidate, drawing criticism for politicizing the 9/11 attacks.

    Businessman Mike Meehan says he has put up three billboards such as this one around Orlando, Florida.

    "Please Don't Vote for a Democrat" reads the type over the picture of the twin towers after hijacked airliners hit them on September, 11, 2001.

    Mike Meehan, a St. Cloud, Florida, businessman who paid to post the billboards in the Orlando area, said former President Clinton should have put a stop to Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda before 9/11. He said a Republican president would have done so.

    "I believe 9/11 could have been prevented if we'd had a Republican president at the time," Meehan said Wednesday on CNN's "American Morning."

    But Democrats and Republicans are saying Meehan shouldn't be using a 9/11 image to make a political point.

    A Republican president would have put a stop to bin Laden . . . other than perhaps the Republican president who was in charge at the time when apprised that "bin Laden intends to strike" imminently.

    I guess there's no false advertising of opinion.

    Considering Bush's dismantling of the cabinet level counterterrorism efforts during 2001, I find this turdknocker's reasoning suspect.
