Democratic Ideas Struggle to Be Heard by a Very Lazy Media - The Smirking Chimp: "Just the day before, S.Amdt. 4936, a comprehensive security bill by Senate Democrats, based on their 'Real Security' plan for America, was killed by the GOP leadership by a 41-57 vote that went almost straight down party lines.
'Today is another example of Republicans talking tough about national security, but then failing to do what it takes to keep America safe,' said Reid after Wednesday's vote on his Real Security Act of 2006. 'Our country is not as safe as it can and should be five years after 9/11, and votes like this in the Republican Congress are a reason why.'
Reid continued: 'The Bush White House and its Do-Nothing Congress have left our ports, borders, chemical plants and mass transit systems vulnerable. It is time this Congress finally learn the lessons of 9/11. Politics won't protect the American people. Only a serious commitment and tough and smart strategies, like the Democrats Real Security Act, will.'"
