In 2007 the Defense Department asked for almost $100 billion in emergency appropriations. This would go toward increased equipment for the protection of our military, training and pay and benefits.
I am sure you all remember how the Democrats absolutely refused to agree to any such needed monies for the safety and welfare for our troops and national defense until the President at the time agreed to a tax increase on the wealthy.
Oh man what an uproar that caused. I mean to basically hold our troops hostage to try and force through certain policies. It was outrageous and rightfully condemned and...
Wait, what? that never happened? Oh right, no one would threaten our national security to win political points or force through tax and budget provisions that should be debated during the budgeting process.
THAT WOULD BE CRAZY!
Wait, what are saying? Really? well certainly the country is all up in arms and super pissed at the Democrats. I am sure the media is totally on Boehner and McConnell and...Obama? And the Democrats?
Holy crap what a freaking tire fire our representatives and their mainstream media lapdogs are.
JAYSUS!! THAT'S REALLY CRAZY!!! AND INSANE!!! AND CRAZY!!!
