For eight long years Republicans accused Democracts who voted against any war supplemental spending bill of voting against the troops, of putting the lives of our troops in danger.Today, as a critical vote nears, House Republicans are unified against the $106 billion war supplemental bill.
According to their logic – they will be voting against the troops.
Though reasonable people (in years past as now) may differ on certain aspects of a hundred billion dollar war supplemental spending bill (as I did and still do), the hypocrisy by the Republican Party on this issue is stunningly two-faced, even for them.
When House Republican leader, John Boehner, was asked if he was concerned about being portrayed as anti-troop for his refusal to support the bill, his responds was, “There’s nobody that’s going to doubt that I support our troops.”
A reasonable expectancy that he and other Republicans refused to extend to their Democratic colleagues in years past.
