Retreat and Defeat Democrats

RETREAT AND DEFEAT DEMOCRATS -- (House of Representatives - March 15, 2006)

(Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)

Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, Senator RUSS FEINGOLD sadly reminded America that the Democrat Party is still dancing to the tune of retreat and defeat through appeasement.

Senator Feingold's call to censure President Bush for implementing a legitimate and effective terrorist surveillance demonstrates that Democrats continue to push political ambitions more than our national security.

From DICK DURBIN's slandering our troops as communists, to Howard Dean's defeatist remarks about our troops' efforts, to Senator Feingold's careless call to censure our President, it is obvious that Democrats have no positive plan to protect American families.

Instead of proposing ways to prevent terror attacks on our soil, Democrats prefer to spend their time and energy on political tricks that do not serve the interests of the American people. As our enemies continue to issue threats daily against our country, Republicans will remain committed to proactively investigating, capturing and detaining al Qaeda operatives and any other terrorists who seek to attack American families.

In conclusion, God bless our troops and we will never forget September 11.
