(18,640 posts)Yet these four took the hike and purposely fumbled the ball because they're afraid of a primary campaign ad that states "______ voted .005% of the time with President Obama".
What a bunch of asshats. Obama Hatred Syndrome is getting to the point of absolute absurdity.

(18,124 posts)these four have enjoyed the best that america has to offer only because brave men and women of all races protected that entitlement by putting on an armed service uniform and going into harms way. How dare them on some racist, obstructionist whimsy just totally denigrate the service of brave human beings. These cowards!!!!

(2,627 posts)was the right thing to do. Next, they each need to spend at leasrt 100 hours each working in a veterans outreach facility and explain their position. Pure and simple assholes - everyone of them.

(1 post)My apologies but even though this applies to both democrats and republicans in congress, it applies to republicans a great deal more. By talking about the politicians, we are trying to address a body of men and women who DO NOT understand or care about "John Q". They have the ability to vote themselves a substantial raise WHENEVER they desire even though our country is in shambles. They have pensions that even after just one term in office are likes of which you and I will NEVER see. They are criminally exempt from almost every criminal act with the exception of tax laws. They do not understand or even take the time to learn what it's like to live paycheck to paycheck. THEY JUST DON'T CARE AND IT'S BECOME OBVIOUS TO MOST AMERICANS!
The current republican party is an embarrassment to the former members such as Abe Lincoln, Barry Goldwater, Dwight Eisenhower, and George Romney (yes Mitt's father).
We are still counting the bodies (our greatest resource) coming back from the middle east...a war that George Bush started by lying and fear-mongering us into. His debt created by this war is now over 15 TRILLION dollars! Why hasn't he been prosecuted for this?
Isn't it obvious that Halliburton, CACI, and Blackwater have made billions on this war for Cheney, Bush and the like? Isn't the "expense" of losing so many of our troops important enough to get the hell out of there?
Why isn't Walmart broken up when they pillage every small town they get into by undercutting the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation "ma and pa" stores? They are simply a Chinese retailer with American management.
When are we going to start doing something about this?
With all the republican chatter going on...if you vote for Romney, it would be appreciated as to how you to explain why, since I too would be interested to know what it's like to live in a DREAM WORLD!

(20,998 posts)The treatment of American Service Men and Women and Veterans BY THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT is beyond the pale. It is painfully obvious that "support the troops" is just language for cheap car magnets.
We - the American citizern - make a pact with our servicemen and women, and we are NOT holding up our end of the deal.

(6,160 posts)The measure, which would have potentially created jobs for up to 20,000 veterans, was blocked on a procedural point by Republicans, who argued that the bill was unpaid for. Senator Patty Murray, a Washington Democrat and the bills main sponsor, said the bill would have covered the costs in part with fees on Medicare providers and suppliers who are delinquent on their tax bills.

(22,899 posts)That's what it amounts to, right? These "men" who were elected to help their constituents, have placed their revolting hatred of the President far above doing what's right for America.

(177 posts)I am outraged that these dipshits would play politics with our men and women in uniform. They are a disgrace to the founders' ideals this country was built on. The armed forces give their lives, so we do not have to. These politicians are unamerican as far as I am concerned!

(20,998 posts)Republican obstructionism is the number two reason our country is in the financial mess we are in today.
The number one reason? The republican policies and actions that started this mess: (1) two unfunded wars of vanity and greed, one so blatantly illegal and immoral it literally begs for war crimes trials; (2) unfunded tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans that don't need them, and won't even use the tax cut funds to create jobs, proving AGAIN that the "trickle-down" theory of economics is utter bullshit; and (3) the complete republican abdication of creating or even enforcing rules and regulations to govern our financial system to ensure if functions fairly for all.

(36,392 posts)the 1/2 the country that is brainwashed by Hate Radio and Fox "News" would vote for Hitler if he ran as an (R).
The president better be ready to sign a lot of Executive Orders in January. After that, it's going to be up to us to start aggressive assaults on Hate Radio and Fox. If we don't, this is never going to change.
