"Support" "Our" "Troops"
From Armando from Kos from David Sirota: "In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, President Bush and Republicans in Congress have refused to consider rolling back the $336 billion in new tax cuts that the richest 1 percent are slated to get over the next five years. They say we need to pay for reconstruction not by asking the wealthiest to sacrifice just a little bit, but by massive cuts to spending. And now we see what that means: The Navy Times today reports that those cuts "include trimming military quality-of-life programs, including health care" . . . This, while troops are fighting and dying for our country in Iraq.
I hope all our soldiers realize this when it comes time to vote again.
I hope our citizenry realizes the lies of the Republicans. They talk a good game, but their follow through is non-existent/pathetic/incompetent/weak/disastrous/mendacious.
The
"Support our troops" is surely a joke to them. It's a political bon-bon that helps them get elected. They forget the principle as soon as they have to make a decision between supporting the rich or supporting those who give the most.
It should be in quotes every time one of those liars speaks it.
