Where is the proof?

When we hear from Republicans "that throwing money at social programs does not solve problems", why does that not apply to the bloated and abused military budget?

Two of the worst military failures in the last twenty-five years have occurred under Republican Presidents (sic): The loss of 254 Marines under Reagan (biggest non-combat loss of soldiers ever?) and 9-11 (biggest terror attack on U.S. soil).

Was it Reagan's nutty Star Wars and massive waste of tax payer's money on the military that has people still believing that Reps do well on security?

Bush is bleeding us dry with the Iraq morass that has made us less safe. So Freepers and DUers where is the facts that have led the "average American" in the immutable "Reps make us safer belief"?

Is it all smoke mirrors, lies and damn propaganda? If Dems are considered soft on security why are there more Dem leaders with military combat background? And, just becuase Reps love to spend tax payer money on wars to make their friends rich doesn't make us more secure.

Where and why did this erroneous mind-set start?
