Reply #26: The funding is bundled and you know it. [View All]

The Troops need to be at least re-deployed before you stop the money that supports their logistics. That doesn't even mention what happens to Veterans and Military Families when you cut off their funds, because you're trying to defund combat operations.

Yep. Their voting records are similar, except for the IWR, but take a look at the kinds of legislation each has sponsored, very, very different.

Right, he wasn't there for the IWR, so the call is something like 50:50 whether he would have supported or not. His mentor, Ted Kennedy, voted NO, that would have been important to BHO. Also, when you're in a public position like BHO's and you have an opportunity to act on something, with some chance of success, you have to gauge the timing of what you do in order to achieve the maximum probability of success. Or you can go blathering away like Mike Gravel and NEVER find yourself in a position to do more than blather. So Obama's war resistance was the same KIND of calculation as Hillary's only for a different constituency . . .

Hillary's vote was about her and Bill's friends and their relationships with

neocons

DISGUSTING! And I'm seriously afraid I can't vote for her.
