Tonya- it is not a lousy bill. If it was a lousy bill over half of the republicans in the senate wouldn’t be pissing in the face of the president, and the GOP’s candidate by supporting this bill…
It is not a perfect bill, as obviously to get that type of coalition and bipartisan support you need to make compromises.
That said, it is a brilliant bill that provides immediate benefits to Veterans, our heroes, serving now for the 7th straight year during wartime, it is non-partisan and universally supported.
McCain’s argument is putrid and pathetic… Supporting our troops by giving them the benefits they deserve in regards to an access to education is a bad idea.
Staying in Iraq for 100 years is okay. Putting our troops in harms way to occupy nations and spread democracy is okay. Putting our troops in harms way to start pre-emptive wars based on lies is okay.
But offering an education to those that serve a full tour and put there life on the line during wartime for the wars he started is wrong.
That about sums up the neo-con Bush movement. At least now they found a mouthpiece that isn’t a Chickenhawk to deliver it- like Bush, Rove, Cheney, Ashcroft, Kristol, Limbaugh…
