we used to use the expression "wrapping yourself in the flag" ... well, now republicans wrap themselves in veterans, they wrap themselves in democracy, they wrap themselves in the "culture of life" ... but the "wrappers" are misrepresenting, in fact they are the polar opposite of, what's inside the package ...

on veterans, it's "we support the troops" but we cut the VA budget and don't provide protective gear to troops in Iraq ... they have a $400 billion Pentagon budget and an additional $200 specifically for the Iraq "war" and they still can't spend $100 bucks on a flak jacket ... the truth is they don't give a damn about the peons whom they use as fodder for their corporate harvesting ...

on democracy, it's we're bringing democracy to the people of Iraq but we intentionally destabilize the country to justify continued US occupation ... democracy is never the objective of this administration; corporatocracy is ...

and on the "culture of life", deaths from war is way up; deaths from homicide is way up; deaths from disease and hunger is not dealt with at all ... and don't even get me started on providing healthcare to Americans who can't afford it ...

when you see the bush "wrappers", you can be 100% certain what's inside the package is 100% the opposite ... and that is why Democrats should not vote any additional funds for this "war" ... the objectives they seek may be honorable; the objectives bush is seeking are not ...
