Dems Tout National Security
Yesterday the Democratic Party released their own plans for Anerica's future security:
Democrats yesterday stood with representatives of firefighter, police and veterans groups in a rally in which party leaders outlined their national security agenda. Congressional Democrats said their plan would help rebuild the military and National Guard, help fight terrorism, promote increased use of alternative fuels, and fully fund veterans benefits as well as training and equipment for first responders.
Republicans yesterday were dismissive of Democrats' rhetoric. "I'm surprised that after months of searching for an agenda, Democrats have finally rallied around the Republican plan for success in the war on terror," said first-term Sen. Jim DeMint, South Carolina Republican.
Actually, I think the Dems have been pretty consistent on National Security. They've tried to kill the Patriot Act. Spoke against terrorist survellience, tried to censure our President during wartime, called the troops "Nazis" and baby killers and accused them of comitting torture. They initially led the drumbeat to war in Iraq, and them blamed it all on the President when things went bad. Problem is, they seem to be helping America's enemies and hindering the war effort.
