Republicans Again Refusing to "Support the Troops"...They Only Support the War

Wars and conflicts Healthcare USA
Another slap in the face to Veterans, compliments of our Senators -at the same time claiming to support our Veterans! Feel free to spread this all over the net.
Late Wednesday, March 22, 2006, the House Republican leadership turned down an amendment from Rep. John Salazar, (D-CO)., to add $650 million to the Veterans Administration’s health care budget. Salazar, who recently joined the House Veterans Affairs Committee, said the additional VA money is needed because the Army’s own studies have shown the VA system is treating more veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan than projected.
Below is a list of Senators that voted against mandatory funding for veteran’s health care.
Notice anything about the parties involved? Nearly all Chickenhawk republicans and a few Veterans turned yes men.

Apparently they have forgotten what this republican said:
Former VA Secretary Anthony Principi, a Republican, gave all veterans the call to arms. Principi said, "History is littered with governments destabilized by masses of veterans who believed that they had been taken for fools by a society that grew rich and fat at the expense of their hardship and suffering."
Perhaps these Republicans voting against supporting our troops, think they are braver than our troops? I wouldn’t bet my job on it...
"SUPPORT OUR TROOPS- END THE WAR- BRING THEM HOME NOW!"

Why support keeping veterans alive? If they die, they can’t be witnesses for what they’ve seen in Iraq and Afghanistan or what they know about military operations overseas. Let’s keep them silent, so we can keep this "war" on schedule.

And anyway, the government needs the money to pay for new cannon fodder, since these old ones cannot fight any more. How can they keep the war going if there are no new soldiers?

The federal government is bankrupt-they have to borrow $2 billion each day to meet payroll. The health problems of soldiers exposed to DU (depleted uranium) will be so severe and expensive to treat, that expense alone would put a huge burden on the feds. Of course, that is no excuse to deny funds for health care to veterans who put their ass on the line for the government’s neferious purposes. What do you expect from a bunch of greedy, gluttonous, lying bastards? I come from three generations of military and they have always done this. My grandfather, a Lt. Commander, told me not to even consider joining the military (he said to me, "just don’t tell your father I said this."). Our leaders and top military brass are a pack of liars and traitors. The evidense clearly shows they are here for the elite and we are here to serve them and eat their bullshit with greedy mouths. It is important to spread the truth so that the younger folks will know not to fall for the governments propaganda. Do not join the military and never trust a pig or any government official. They are predators and our property and lives are their prey! Like Marc Emery says, we will overgrow the fascist government and crush them like an insect. We must all start to learn how we will survive without any "help" from the government and we must awaken to the truth about 911 and the Illuminati control system. Once enough people know the truth this will castrate the cowards who work for our shitty federal government and their overlords. Nothing short of an overthrow and prosecution of the elitest cowards will do. The feds should be real nervous because we are not going to take their crap any longer-Bastille day has arrived MFR!
