Refusing to spend borrowed money is not stabbing the troops in the back.

It isn't borrowed money. Defense spending is a small percentage of tax receipts. We do not borrow money to cover our defense budget. And even if we did spend borrowings, it would be one of the few Constitutionally mandated expenditures - mandated by a Constitution that contemplates and approves of public debt.

Leaving the troops in a belligerent operation when the funds are stopped would be stabbing the troops in the back

This is precisely the dishonest, mealymouthed, cowardly, yellowbellied, gutless play on words that the Left is championing.

Telling our soldiers in the field that their work is not worth sustaining and we're not paying for it is backstabbing.

Pure and simple.

This is an unconstitutional attempt by Ron Paul and his treasonous accomplices to steal the warfighting power from the Executive.

It is beneath contempt.

You distortions are quite impure and simply wrong. Paul did not say that the troops' work is not worth sustaining.

You are attempting to attribute something to Paul that he never said.
