Democrats Block Funding for American Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan | Republican Leader John Boehner (http://republicanleader.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=91495 - broken link) House Democrats claim they strongly support the troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, but when the time came to prove it today on the House floor, they were exposed for all of America to see. And what the American people saw wasn’t pretty. A whopping 147 Democrats voted down funding for the men and women in harm’s way, stripping troop funding out of a bill meant to…well, fund the troops.
Democrats denying funding for troops is a bad thing.
Republicans denying funding for troops is okay, because they must have a good reason.
Do I have that right? I confess I often have trouble with double standards.
Or is it OK if for Dems to deny funding and not OK for Republicans to use the same tactic? See it works both ways. This is fun do you have another one?
And to be fair - Brownback did NOT say he doesn't care for the troops - only that he wanted to defeat the current healthcare bill that he hasn't seen.
Yes, I think that's correct - it's not that he hates the troops, he just doesn't have a problem in denying funding to the troops in the Republican's continuing efforts to defeat by any means possible the health care bill.

No, but if Republicans criticized Dems for doing it, then why are they doing themselves now?
Define hypocrisy: Insincerity by virtue of pretending to have qualities or beliefs that you do not really have.

Republicans are hypocritical.
Mmmm but the lefties defended the Dems why are they criticizing Republicans now? Oh I get it that hypocrisy thing you see in only other people, now I get it.
Are you under the impression that all the earmarks were from Democrats?
What difference does it make. I do not care where the ear marks came from. One party tried to stop the bill and one did. The used funding of the troops for political reasons. A sick display
