Democrats very conscious not to fall for Repub trap on national security

[kentuck]

Perhaps they are too conscious about it? If they can just get the Democrats to vote against some security issue before the November election, then they can portray them as weak on national security and not capable of defending this country? If they can just get them to vote against the Iraq appropriations or the Patriot Bill or anything where they can be accused of being too weak to defend this country, then they will have a shot at winning in November and maintaining their superior numbers in the House and Senate. Is this why the Democrats are votng for these pieces of crap legislation?
