Real Security, Part II

I snagged this from Daily Kos because I want to share this with my blog reader that Democrats are real serious about Security than others thinks despite what Republicans has done but did nothing. Read below please...

Snagged from Daily Kos at: Real Security, Part II:

Do you want to know how serious Democrats are about national security? Click on www.democrats.gov. The entire site has been revamped around the Real Security plan. You can read the platform here, and here is the link to the PDF brochure. You can listen to audio of today's announcement here. The plan lays out a tough and smart approach to our national security, from eliminating Osama bin Laden to declaring energy independence.  The plan is so provocative, the administration sent out Vice-President Dick Cheney to FOX News (where else would he go?) to play defense. Cheney lied (what else would he do?) and said our "behavior has been totally inconsistent with what they're now promising to do."

Enter the facts.

Over at the revamped Senate Democrats site, Harry Reid has an amazing, comprehensive rundown of the Democrats' Record on Real Security vs. The Bush Republican Record of Dangerous Incompetence.  There, you can find all the pesky facts that Cheney & Co. want to spin away, seductively cushioned between actual bill numbers and record votes which prove that Democrats not only have a record on Real Security, but it's a damn impressive one at that.

For those that say today's plan did not offer enough detail, I urge you to look at that page and see the solutions Democrats have offered time and time again--only to be stonewalled by an administration beholden more to corporate interests and politics than actually safeguarding our nation.  

This Democratic offensive will be a sustained one, lasting all the way until election day when voters will have to chose between our party, which has a proven record of safeguarding our nation, and the GOP, a party that has a proven record of dangerous incompetence.  When it comes to real security, is it really even a choice?

Update: Real Security Part I, for those wondering, would be my teaser post from earlier this morning, for those that missed it.

Update #2: The Democratic National Committee is on the offensive too, and has an easy-to-navigate flash page detailing the plan.
