1. Unconscionable
This is why I never understand why the military vote trends R? Why the hell do they stick with a party that shows them no respect? The get used and abused the most by republicans and they keep sticking with them.

They under fund veterans services or cut them to the bone and now they spit on their voting rights by saying their military service means squat when it comes to voting.

2. 92% of the D and F grades went to congressional members of the GOP
in the last IAVA (Iraq and Afganistan Veterans of America) report card.

Of the 94 congressmen that received A or A+ grades, 91 are Democrats and three are Republicans.

I don't get it either.

Good stuff. As long as RP is running maybe he won't screw Texas up any more.

I think the report card that IAVA did is remarkable. It was based strickly on congress' voting record and is very objective. Being the largest group of Iraq and Afganistan vets, I hope that our dear vets are able to see who is standing up for them based on their voting record.
