[PA Mamma]

Can someone help?
I was just coming inside and heard:

"all of the Republicans voted against it except Rick Santorum"
Something about supporting troops ??

Anyone know what they voted on ?/

Thanks

1. It was the 2 billion dollars for Veteran's...

They said it on Morning Sedition this morning.

2. If that's the reference, then it's

Specter, not Santorum.

4. Yeah that's what I was thinking too...

But they definately said Rick Santorum was the only one who didn't vote against it so I am still wondering ...

3. If that's what they consider "supporting the troops"...

...tell them to turn in their yellow ribbons.

5. Here's what ol' Man-on -Dog voted against. Ain't he a peach?

Veterans' care. Senators refused, 54-46, to add $1.98 billion for veterans' health care to a bill (HR 1268) providing $77 billion this fiscal year for ongoing military actions. More than half of the increase was intended for veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan. The overall bill remained in debate.

6. Thanks !

Where did you find that is there a link ??

8. The info comes from the Local News section of the Sunday Phila Inquirer

Section. Each week they give a recap of how area Reps and area Sens voted on bills during the previous week. The info can also be located at philly.com. Man-on-Dog votes anti-citizen 100% of the time.

9. Thanks Again ...

I'll check that out. I've registered there. Our local newspaper is simply terrible.

Yes, I know how Revolting Ol' Frothy Mixture is ! :puke:

I'm on the other side of state. I'm originally from Pittsburgh. You know near Penn Hills where you can magically have a family of 8 ( including little Fetus Jr.) and another family of 3 (his niece, her husband and their kid ) all living in a 2 bedroom 1 bath house.

It’s truly amazing how your housing dollars go so far, here.
You really should visit sometime.

7. Giving veterans money ...

Giving veterans proper health care will just make them lazy. Whatever happened to the old "pull up your stitches" American attitude toward rugged indvidualism.

Amputee??? Well, you have a knife in your rucksack. Go crawl out in the woods and widdle yourself a wooden peg leg.

Lost an eye??? Well, you young kids are fond of wearing sunglasses anyway. Just keep em on.

Rely on yourself and do the Congress proud that your not becomming dependent on the government dole.

</sarcasm>

The Republican leadership are some really sick mother fuckers.
