The party of security

From a newswire story subtitled "Congress embarks on spending spree" (ah, Republican fiscal conservatism!):

Before the final vote, Republicans defeated a Democratic effort to add $1.2 billion for domestic security programs, including $825 million for protecting ports.

Ah yes, the Republican Party is the party of national security indeedy...
