                      RETREAT AND DEFEAT DEMOCRATS

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, Senator Russ 
Feingold sadly reminded America that the Democrat Party is still 
dancing to the tune of retreat and defeat through appeasement.
  Senator Feingold's call to censure President Bush for implementing a 
legitimate and effective terrorist surveillance demonstrates that 
Democrats continue to push political ambitions more than our national 
security.
  From Dick Durbin's slandering our troops as communists, to Howard 
Dean's defeatist remarks about our troops' efforts, to Senator 
Feingold's careless call to censure our President, it is obvious that 
Democrats have no positive plan to protect American families.
  Instead of proposing ways to prevent terror attacks on our soil, 
Democrats prefer to spend their time and energy on political tricks 
that do not serve the interests of the American people. As our enemies 
continue to issue threats daily against our country, Republicans will 
remain committed to proactively investigating, capturing and detaining 
al Qaeda operatives and any other terrorists who seek to attack 
American families.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops and we will never forget 
September 11.
