I try and stay away from political attack threads but this really pisses me off! The Republicans in the House pass a bill to extend funding for another week with provisions not agreeable to Democrats then they add a provision funding military personnel for 6 months...all so they can attack Democrats in the Senate and President Obama should he veto the bill (which he has promised to do) as being non-supportive of the military. I listen for awhile to C-Span while numerous Republican congressman tried to drive that point home...what a bunch of crap!!! When I served in Nam, I did so with the feeling that a bunch of fat old white guys were using us as canon fodder to advance their political goals, now...all these years later, I feel the same way. It's bad enough that brave young men and women are placed in harm's way so the hawks of both parties can strut around Washington but to use them in such a blatant political way is unforgivable!!
