Democrats on defense

No surprise the Republicans can't even let the Democrats have one on national security. They have been spreading the lie that Democrats are 'soft' for so long, they couldn't get by without it.
But how did this nonsense ever get started?
It has no basis in fact. A Democrat won WWI; Democrats won WWII; Korea & Vietnam stymied both parties.
As far as I can tell, it is because Republicans are willing to talk tough and Democrats prefer to negotiate whenever possible and don't want to spend ALL our budget on defense.
I think the Republicans learned the wrong lesson from the old westerns. Watch them again and see how often the real hero is the soft-spoken guy that avoids trouble when possible and knows how to fight when it isn't. Not the braggart that is always itching to draw his gun. That guy usually ends up looking foolish.
Just saying.
