Incredibly, the House GOP has just agreed that the only group deserving budget punishment in the new spending deal is the career military. It is an obscene deal, one made worse by a patently cynical attempt to hide the blow to the military by “restoring” cuts to the pensions of wounded veterans. A vote for this betrayal of the military will haunt every Republican who supports it.
When the first outlines of the budget “deal” emerged late last tear, I counseled caution as the final details could change.

My dad did 27 years in the Navy. I opted for a good education so I could contribute by building and delivering the tools to the troops. I saw the rot underway and decided against being part of it. The rot filtered down from the politicians to the PC senior officers who valued career over country.
I knew the GOP would find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in November. Next up “ Comprehensive Immigration Reform” AKA AMNESTY....
These two GOPe idiots or traitors have been compelled into liberal crimes and to take the fall for democrats when things go wrong.
What a bunch of hissy little girls. Rove et al ARE the embarassment.
Show me a Republican. Not Democrat-light. A REPUBLICAN.
I mean, there's a few. Ted Cruz, for example.
But the rest are straight-on Democrats, no matter what name they wear.
Thanks for the diligence in keeping us pinged Jet...
Hewitt really reamed Ryan out. Ryan had the same BS excuses he gave Mark Levin when he went on his show the day of the vote.
Personally I was never impressed with Ryan’s first budget back in 2009 or whenever. He’s no numbers wonk. What he really is is an ambitious little politician who hopes to become speaker when Boehner exits. He is willing to go along to get along with the Dems in order to maintain his status and position in the House. Thats about the best you can say for him, Cantor and McCarthy. The Young Guns. What a joke.
paul ryan, though a rino, is a traitorous jerk
