GOP: once more proving they hate the troops

Senate Republicans succeeded in a filibuster in which they refused to end debate on Virginia Democrat Jim Webb's S. 2012, which would have placed strict limits on National Guard and reserve deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan as well as mandating more downtime at home before active-duty combat troops are returned to battle.

The Democrats decided to vote on a closure, because the GOP would have filibustered this Webb proposal!!! The GOP would have bitterly filibustered a bill which allows the troops rest before deployment and would stop the National guard and reserves from repeatedly being sent back to Iraq! Funny, the Republicans at one time tried to ban the filibuster itself when they were the majority, now that they are the minority, the filibuster is alive and well. Hypocritical obstructionists!


Ironically Lieberman gave an argument against the Webb proposal (pf course) ad bizzarely the reason why he was against it "give the troops a break"!!! DUH!! That's what this bill would have done.

I can not stand these neo-con degenerates any longer. Every time I update this blog, my blood pressure rises. Under the Bush regime blogging has become a health hazard....
