The one mantra that I have heard ENDLESSLY from all Republicans is that the Democrates are WEAK on defense. I must also cite some FACTS in history. Every war that the americans have found themselves in have been under Democratic Presidents. We are NOT AFRAID to defend this country or any other allied country. As history has written it. The only difference.... we dont seek war, we dont lie to get into war, we don't WAG THE DOG for political purposes, we take care of our military AFTER the wars, we dont cut their benefits during or after the war, we keep our military STRONG by updating equip-strategies etc (the war Bush fights is built on the back of a Democratic President) and we demand the sacrafice of the american citizens (War bonds) instead of spending ourselves into "Country" poverty as the GOP is doing today. THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE. The GOP TALKS SECURITY... DEMOCRATES " DO " security.
