12/28/2007 Senator Kerry: Veto of Defense Authorization Bill a "Disgrace"
Boston, MA – Sen. John Kerry issued the following statement today regarding President Bush's expected veto of H.R. 1585, the fiscal year 2008 National Defense Authorization Act.
"Only George Bush could be for supporting the troops before he was against it,” said Kerry. “We fought against this White House to provide our men and women in uniform a decent pay raise and now three days after Christmas George Bush says he'll veto it. What a disgrace. This fight has just begun and it won't end until we do right by those who sacrifice for our country."
Senator Kerry had previously written to President Bush asking him to stop opposing a 3.5 percent increase in military pay and also introduced a resolution in support of a 3.5 percent pay raise. That pay raise was included in the bill President Bush now threatens to veto.
Kerry served in Nam you say? Well, I’ll be damned, I did not know that........: )
Only George Bush could be for supporting the troops before he was against it,” said Kerry
I thought sure this was Scrappleface! LOL!!
Democrats press releases have the flavor of a monty python skit - so absurd to make you laugh out loud, but the entire time you know that it’s a farce.
John “I Have a Plan” Kerry was in Vietnam? Sheesh...if the sheeple would have known that he would have won the election. /sarcasm (thanks swiftboat vets)
Kerry, you are the definition of disgrace.
Only one thing allows the Senator to use verbiage like this: A supportive media who won't call him on it and present him as the fool that he is.
The Mainstream Media: Enabling idiots.
I only have one question...
Was the magic hat on or off when he said it?
I heard he is going to sign his SF 180 and release it to the public. Does anyone have a link? ;-)
Darn right! He won three (count 'em THREE!) Purple Hearts too !!!
The only reason President Bush would veto this bill is because there must be a ton Democrats pork add on’s!
If anybody deserves a ride in a SUV with a sun roof, it is this A-hole. Did he even read the bill?
LOL, holy crap, THREE purple hearts you say,,,,why by cracky, this guy sounds like a real American hero,,,,how come he’s not President???? LOL......
Did he issue that statement from Cambodia?
It is Christmas after all.
Cambodia too! It was seared... seared into his memory.
You don't say,,,,my my,,,,,a real American hero....he was in Cambodia you say? Was it at Christmas time by any chance? How noble of him......I can't believe this hero isn't president.........!
John Kerry has moved more fire hydrants than he has Senate Bills.
