Republican Members of Congress Call Sen. Feingold's Resolution "Grand-Standing"; Another Sign Democrats Lack A Plan, National Security Agenda

Washington, Mar 14 - This morning, Republican Members of Congress issued the following statements in response to Democrat Sen. Russ Feingold's resolution to censure President Bush for ordering NSA Surveillance Wiretappings.

Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC): "Senator Feingold's call to censure President Bush for implementing a legitimate and effective terrorist surveillance program demonstrates that Democrats continue to value their political ambitions more than our national security. From Nancy Pelosi's fierce fight against the Patriot Act to Howard Dean's defeatist remarks about our troop's efforts to Senator Feingold's careless call to censure our President, it's obvious that Democrats still have no positive plan to protect American families. As our enemies continue to issue threats daily against our country, Republicans will remain committed to pro-actively investigating, capturing, and detaining Al Qaeda operatives and any other terrorists who seek to attack our nation."
