Dont you get tired of preaching to the converted? It cant be very satisfying, surely?
Voted : Halliburton has to watch its bottom line.
Let their parents pay for their kids' caskets.
Voted : Halliburton has to watch its bottom line.
he did give the troops an increase...increased active duty time...
Alfie:
I'm here to testify.
Just another example of why Bush is a poor comander and chief.I'm a right winger but I won't defend the indefensible,especially for a liberal like Bush.
Voted : Halliburton has to watch its bottom line.
Whoever put this option in...*genius*
Corrupt:
Sorry, but you can't give him to us. Bush is a true ultra-conservative, all the way.
2.2%. Wow, how generous. That almost equals the rate of inflation.
And what about Bush's plans to slash veteran's benefits?
"Our veteran's needs are $16 billion greater than Bush projects for 2012.
The proposals for the 2008 budget have proven one thing - the need of the Administration to balance the budget is being placed on the backs of our wounded veterans, including those who will be returning from Afghanistan and Iraq.
According to a February 13th AP article, "Even though the cost of providing medical care to veterans has been growing rapidly - by more than 10 percent in many years - White House budget documents assume consecutive cutbacks in 2009 and 2010 and a freeze thereafter.""
Bush must love our troops.
Voted : No, giving increases would show support for the troops
He didn't mind deficit spending before.
cranky:
Ultra conservative my ass, the man is running the largest national defecit in history,has opened the borders for any and all to enter and doesn't know how to win a war.Bush is the definition of liberal.
^If Bush is such a liberal, then why is he loathed by virtually every liberal on the planet while practically being worshipped by red state rightwing hucks and religious fundamentalists?
And one of the foundation characteristics of the modern rich ultra-conservative is wastefulness and arrogance. It's a sign of prestige, whether it be on giant houses, six luxury cars, multi-hundred dollar restaurant meals, three thousand dollar suits, etc. The crowning achievement, of course, is to get someone else to pay for it. That is George W. Bush, all over.
And I'd like to suggest that liberals Woodrow Wilson and FDR knew how to win a war better than conservatives Richard Nixon and Lyndon Johnson.
TNG:
Bush has no problem spending us hundreds of billions of dollars into deficit to fund tax cuts for the rich, but suddenly can't stand to give the troops he pretends to support a measly pay increase for risking, and in some cases, ruining, their lives in his oil war? Bush is a fraud.
Bush Threatens Veto Over Troop Pay Raise, Military Widow Benefits
The Bush administration today threatened to a veto a House defense spending bill over a 3.5 percent pay raise for U.S. soldiers and a $40/month increase in benefits for military widows, among other provisions. The legislation passed the House today 397-27.
ThinkProgress noted last night that the White House opposed the pay raise for troops:
Troops don’t need bigger pay raises, White House budget officials said Wednesday in a statement of administration policy laying out objections to the House version of the 2008 defense authorization bill.
The slightly bigger military raises are intended to reduce the gap between military and civilian pay that stands at about 3.9 percent today. Under the bill, HR 1585, the pay gap would be reduced to 1.4 percent after the Jan. 1, 2012, pay increase.
Bush budget officials said the administration “strongly opposes” both the 3.5 percent raise for 2008 and the follow-on increases, calling extra pay increases “unnecessary.”
The White House says it also opposes:
– a $40/month allowance for military survivors, saying the current benefits are “sufficient”
– additional benefits for surviving family members of civilian employees
– price controls for prescription drugs under TRICARE, the military’s health care plan for military personnel and their dependents
House Minority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC) said today he was “shocked and disappointed in the President’s threat,” noting that Bush’s problems with the bill are over measures that benefit “the very people who sacrifice the most in the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and who serve at home and overseas.”
UPDATE: VoteVets chairman and Iraq veteran Jon Soltz adds:
Believe me, even with the current benefits that get paid out by the Department of Defense and insurance that many troops buy into, those who lose spouses in Iraq aren’t sleeping in mounds of cash. The increase proposed by Democrats will mean a hell of a lot. At VoteVets.org, we’ve heard absolute horror stories on the type of cutbacks that widows and widowers have had to make because the government doesn’t provide enough to those who lose a loved one in war. (Think Progress)
Unbelievable. Just Unbelievable.
Voted : He is an arrogant, hypocrite, incompetent lil liar, talk about someone needing to get off of CRACK!
Cranky, why waste your time debating with Bush lapDOGS? TNG is a prime example of what being on CRACK sounds like when the subject matter has to do with her inept and pathetic President...
As for Corrupt, his commentary speaks for itself..."Bush is the definition of a liberal," and what exactly have you had to drink and/or smoke?
Bush is destroying this country because he is an idiot and incompetent, not because he is the definition of a liberal, no need to resort to insults Corrupt...
The man couldn't distinguish his arse from a hole in the ground and not to mention, pour p*ss out of a boot with the directions written under the bottom, next time when you can stomach looking at a photo of him up close, you tell me that he is playing with a full deck...I do not think so....
It truly amazes me how people continue to kiss his arse (without coming up for air mind you) and if one dares to say the contrary about that dipsh*t then that people is wrong as two left shoes as in TNG...
He is THE worse Presidetn EVER, you lapDOGS remember that, THE worse, there will never be another like him in our foressable future...They only come around every 100 years or so...the lil arrogant p*ss ant, what an embarrassment...
TNG:
So you're suggesting that liberals don't love and worship Bush because they have been brainwashed by Ted Kennedy?
And if that's true, then how do you explain the blind allegiance rightwingers and fundamentalist Christians pay to "liberal" Bush. Is that group think, too? Or is it just those nasty 'ol liberals, who believe in things like freedom of speech and the Bill of Rights who are political zombies?
TNG:
The ballot states what Bush has done to our troops. It's simply the truth.
Personally, I think it's an outrage, but others don't. That's simply a difference of opinion.
Voted : He is an arrogant, hypocrite, incompetent lil liar, talk about someone needing to get off of CRACK!
TNG, you are a piece of work, you honestly believe that Cranky's position regarding your pathetic President somehow influences how I view him? You are quite the art of stupidity...
You run around this site kissing arse non stop, after having a loooong and boring history of karma attacking others when they disagree with your viewpoints...
Your childish reference of addressing me as Miss is proof positive that you are a lil nitwit...
However, I still find your pathetic attempts to behave like a decent human being quite entertaining and hilarious...
Therefore, Private TNG! presssent nose! insert nose! In cadence brown nose! 1, 2, 3, 1!, 1, 2, 3, 2!, 1, 2, 3, 3! Oooorddder, nose, alright, wipe it off!
Once again, excellent ballot CRANKY!
Voted : He is an arrogant, hypocrite, incompetent lil liar, talk about someone needing to get off of CRACK!

You have demonstrated all too well how boring and silly you really are...
