The GOP are not even pretending to support our troops anymore.

“Today the Republicans decided to filibuster an amendment that goes straight to the well-being of our troops. I deeply regret this move, which makes it necessary for the amendment to be passed with a minimum of 60 votes instead of 51.

“I would remind my colleagues on the Republican side of the aisle that the American people are watching us closely today. They expect us to finally take the sort of positive action that might stabilize the operational environment in which our troops are being sent again and again.

“Americans are tired of the posturing that is giving Congress such a bad reputation. They are tired of the procedural strategies designed to protect politicians from accountability, and to protect this Administration from judgment. They are looking for concrete actions that will protect the well-being of our men and women in uniform.

“The question on this amendment is not whether you support this war or whether you do not. It is not whether you want to wait until July or September to see where one particular set of benchmarks or summaries might be taking us. The question is this: more than four years into ground operations in Iraq, we owe stability, and a reasonable cycle of deployment, to the men and women who are carrying our nation’s burden. That is the question. And that is the purpose of this amendment.”

They refuse to vote to bring our troops home and they refuse to pass any legislation that will ease the burden being placed on them as well, and yet Americans still believe that the Republicans still care about the military more then the Democrats!

Well America it is time for you to wake up and smell the bullshit! These assholes do not care about you, your country, or your fathers, mothers, brothers, sister, sons, or daughters dying in the deserts of Iraq. They only care about holding on to power. And it is up to you to take it away.

Vote Democrat in 2008.
