georgia10 Smitten By Real Security

213 words.

Well, well, it looks like the great georgia10 is quite smitten by this newly unveiled Democratic “Real Security” “plan:” Real Security, Part II. So smitten, in fact, that one has to wonder if she is not on the Democratic party payroll (the word “shill” comes to mind). She even calls it “tough and smart,” a verbatim recitation of the party line. It makes me wonder if blogs ought not to have some kind of political oversight after all.

Anyway, I eagerly looked over this Real Security “plan” yesterday, admittedly without the benefit of expert political analysis, and I came to the conclusion that the Democratic party must think that American voters are complete idiots. (Actually, I already thought that about all politicians.) I put “plan” in quotes here, of course, because this so-called Real Security “plan” is not a plan at all; it’s just a series of vague feel-good talking points. The best one, of course, being “we’re going to eliminate Osama!” Uh… okay, sure. Dare I ask how? Terrorist-sniffing dogs? A clone army? A Terminator perhaps?

I could ramble about the plan some more, but I found an article today on Tom Paine that does a good job of echoing my sentiments, so I’ll take the lazy way out: Democrats’ Tough Talk.
