This is for all of you who thought that Republicans are better for national defense

OK, so where are we now? Let's recap:

1) On the Osama Bin Roadrunner front: Pakistan's president, Pervez "Coyote" Musharraf, said today that "his forces believed they had nearly hunted down Osama bin Laden about 10 months ago, but had since lost track of him." Al Qaeda 1, Bush Administration 0.

2) Amendment to bankruptcy bill to "protect servicemembers and veterans from means testing in bankruptcy, to disallow certain claims by lenders charging usurious interest rates to servicemembers, and to allow servicemembers to exempt property based on the law of the State of their premilitary residence" defeated March 1 by a 58-38 vote. American troops in Iraq: 0, Compassion: 0, credit card companies, 1.

3) And now (via Poetic Leanings), an amendment to the 2006 budget "To protect the American people from terrorist attacks by providing the necessary resources to our firefighters, police, EMS workers and other first-responders by restoring $1,626 billion in cuts to first-responder programs" was defeated in the Senate today by a 46-54 vote. Let me repeat that: EVERY REPUBLICAN SENATOR VOTED TODAY AGAINST RESTORING FUNDS TO PROVIDE RESOURCES TO FIRST-RESPONDER PROGRAMS.

Now tell me again how Bush makes us safer? Is it that he puts on costumes from the Village People and talks tough?
