We don’t expect you to actually answer this, but what is it with these people? They’ve decided to vote against a war funding supplemental — something that used to be the Most UnAmerican.Thing.Ever. What I really want to know is:
- whether you’ve seen or heard of any reports of this action giving aid and comfort to our enemies.
- Or if you see any reports of this action actually destroying the morale of our troops.
- Or if you note any media outlets highlighting this flip flop by Congressional Republicans to decide to not just hate the troops, but to vote against an IMF appropriation that 1) they pretty much voted for without issue previously, and 2) that amounts to about what they’ll get in earmarks anyway.
NPR this AM ran a story on this and made the flip flip not only the tease for the story but they also reminded us that John Kerry voted against a funding bill and Bushco — campaigning for re-election — hammered him for that. Telling his credulous audiences that Kerry was more interested in his political stance than in the success of the troops. They played the clip from BushCo’s stump speech and I was surprised that they kept coming back to that. But good on them and hope they do more of this.
So if you hear or see any instances of the items above, let us know in the comments.
