Are the Republicans now against the Military & Troops?

Remembering a few years ago when the Republicans pulled the same political trick on the Democratic Party I am impressed  that the current conservatives would rather withhold funding for our military and troops than allow DADT to come to the floor for an up and down vote. So the next time any conservative wants to tell me they support the military and troops more than the liberals I have no choice, but to look at their action today as one who is willing to put their personal beliefs above the needs of our national security.

For already aware that a judge has ruled DATA unconstitutional and having the knowledge that homosexuals have been serving in the military long before it became a political issue in the 1990’s the only reason that I can see for blocking the funding under these conditions is that the Republicans would rather represent only part of their state citizenry while leaving the majority of their citizenry without any representation in Washington.

And why My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s are going to have to deal with such abuse of power, I wonder if the Conservatives in the 50 States are ready for the Liberals to demonstrate the same type of representation over the next few years. For why I realize this close to the mid-term elections it would be hard for any citizenry of a state to ask their governor to recall their senators. Knowing the VOID Movement can only deal with those up for reelection in November, I do hope every American is enlightened to the fact their Senators are elected to represent All Citizens and not just the selected few of their own choosing.

So why I will admit the Democratic Leadership pulled the same dirty little political trick as the Republicans did when wanting to find our military and troops in Iraq. Unlike the Democrats who put the needs of our military and troops ahead of their special interest groups, I now wonder how Americas’ Military and Troops are going to have the money to continue the war started by the Republicans over 9 years ago? Thus, if I had influence with the Leader of the Senate I would tell him to offer a stripped down version of the bill that would fund the Afghan War, but stop payment on all military contracts not deemed essential to Americas’ National Security.
