Both parties have used mpasses to advance ideological agendas. Suddenly it's 'despicable' because the Republicans have the upper hand.

It's despicable when anyone does it. GOP gets no pass.

It isn't despicable. It's politics.

Military pay hangs in the balance in government shutdown negotiations - Political Hotsheet - CBS News
so you don't think the military is important enough to protect the country? they're on dangerous ground everyday and night sacrificing themselves so we can have freedom. without the military, the country would be more vulnerable to attacks.

the military should be given any help they can get because they're doing a great thing and we should not take them for granted.

Nothing. What do my tax dollars have to do with Planned Parenthood? Since the dems aren't signing the bill, does that mean they hold PP in higher regard than our Military personnel?

I'm going to repeat it one more time, why not introduce a bill that ensures military pay, period. I would support that. It seems like you wouldn't.

Why put a planned parenthood clause in it. It has nothing to do with the military.

That's because they're more on board with the kind of killing that PP does.
