They are indeed! Do you think the Repubs would actually not favor funding the troops. Get real, please.

Ask the treasonous dem leader Jack Murtha who said they were cold blooded killers.

Nothing the rep do can ever stand up to the anti troop rants of the demo-commi party for the last 6 years.

Most the dems should be ashamed of themselves for what you have done to the troops that are at war.

Remember the DAILY body counts by the dems for years? Seems like the dems were jumping for joy to see the body count go up.

All of a sudden you are not even talking about it.

The dems will pay for what they are doing to this country, in the end Obama was the perfect solution added with this group of idiots to finally end liberalism in America.

Maybe once we get rid of the liberals way of thinking maybe we can get America back on track again.

Obama, voted for troops funding in 2004, then when he decided to run for office he voted against it so he would not have to say he was for the war. What a hypocrite the moron is and you have to nerve to even say something now.
LOL. Instead of getting rid of it, the Republicans ADOPTED it. Today they are guilty of everything they accused Dems of being guilty of.

In other words the political games come first and the troops take a back seat.

This is the stupidest thing they have done in years, and will cost them dearly in next elections.

Obviously the use of imagination need not apply to see what would be all over the news and conservative media if the parties were reversed.

Their silence is deafening. If Dems had done it, we'd have Limbaugh, Beck, O'Reilly, Hannity, Savage, FOX etc screaming off the top of their lungs.

Political games always come first. That is true of both the Dems and Repubs. The handwriting was on the wall on Health Care and other initiatives. When the Democrat was elected and the House and Senate were such large majorities, these initiatives, were inevitably going to happen. I think it is a big mistake for the GOP to try to prevent, rather than inject into the processes and they are very likely to pay a long term political price for that mistake.

No, not embarrassed at all, and I answered as soon as you asked, and I have stated it many times before on this forum. If I was a Republican, I would be embarrassed today.

Mmm and what were their actions? Did they deny funding to troops? Nope. Next...

And the Dems (and libertarians) are attacking the Republicans. It never fails to amuse me how some folks simply can't recognize their own hypocrisy.
