What? Not only has the Democrat president dragged his feet for weeks on end deciding whether to send reinforcements to support the 17,000 men and women of the arms forces that he chose to send to Afghanistan. His hand picked General, General McChrysal has called for 10,000 to 40,000 troops, not to win the war but just to maintain status quo which is a travesty.
Now unbelievably Democrats are stealing troop funds meant for guns and ammo.
How in the world is this happening and is this how Democrats govern? Apparently so!
$2.6 billion dollars is what Democrats have so far purloined from the defense budget. They have attaching 778 projects also known as ear marks to the spending appropriation meant to fund the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. This money will go to Democrat home projects while our sons and daughters get short changed as they lay their lives out on the battlefield for their country. And this at a time when America has no money! (see story)

Only profanity can describe what I think of this outrage. My father, David, a veteran of WWII and the Korean War is rolling in his grave over the treachery of these scum.
Yes, you have every right to be outraged. My child is in Afghanistan now and I’m insensed!
...when this socalled building is built...I hope somebody post this photo on every telephone pole, sign post and window and door,slip under windshield wipers on every car....and where ever his name is found
God bless your son and all our brave patriots. We have enemies within our country just as determined to destroy us as our enemies in Iraq and Afganistan. Disgustingly and reprehensibly, we have enemies of America and enemies of the American people in political office. The American people better realize this truth before it’s too late. In my opinion, we are reliving history. 1933 Germany comes to mind.
Vote RATs and RINOs out in 2010 and sweep the rest into the garbage of history in 2012.
Please I’d like those names and numbers to register my outrage! Thanks in advance.
Anyone think diverting med funds will be any different to these Marxists?
As Japan did, these elected officials will also wake a sleeping giant and find themselves also defeated.
Tick, tick, tick, the clock is nearing zero.
Let the damn estate pay for these monuments to liberalism!
Leave the taxpayers alone!
Kerry was one of the sponsors of this appropriation. My husband called Kerry’s office yesterday to ask about this. The staffer who answered evaded the issue of taxpayer funds being diverted from the troops to pork (”earmark”), not to mention that they were attaching the pork to a DoD bill so as to rush it through under the guise of being “patriotic”.
Every time DH mentioned “pork”, the staffer got angry and countered with “earmark!”.
When pressed, the staffer hung up on him. He called office back but they refused to answer the phone.
That shows their priorities.
