He added, “Democrats have a good record on defense, but they have not been able to articulate it. They get blamed for a lot of things that are not their fault.”

The last Democrat who had a great record on defense was Harry Truman. Was this guy looking that far back to find an example?

'But the 90-plus page 2008 platform, which was presented to delegates Monday night in Denver, does not mention any budget cuts. Instead, it talks about the need to defeat al Qaeda, to increase active duty troops strength, and to stop Iran from building nuclear warheads.'

Just words? Just words?

Of course they're just words! Obama and the Dems can put anything into their platform they want in order to try to attract moderate voters. We already KNOW how they respond to threats. We already KNOW their attitude toward the Military.

Sadly their whole platform is just words with no will to back up the more conservative ideas.
