re: #81 Joel

Since when does Republicans not value national security? It is not a GOP president back slapping Hugo Chavez and sending love notes off to Daniel Ortega and Raul Castro.

It was a GOP president who got elected after campaigning in a primary and general election that Vicente Fox and Mexico were our best friends.

It was a GOP president whose first red carpet state visit event to the White House was thrown for Vicente Fox.

Sorry, but neither party has covered itself in glory in terms of national security for the past decade. The GOP might be better, but they controlled congress and the White House for several years where they were all talking about how they supported the troops during war time while they were passing ludicrous porkfests in the guise of transportation, energy, and farm bills instead of fully funding the war effort and troops.
