More Congressional "Supporting the Troops"

Posted By COB6 • [May 20, 2008]

This morning Fox News reported that if the war funding supplemental is not approved before Congress takes another undeserved vacation, military pay could be effected as early as mid-June.

That made me wonder just what the hell this corrupt gang of free-thinking thieves have been doing in their unending quest to "Support the Troops".

Fortunately, Pete Hegseth at National Review did it for me.

HR 1147:  Congratulating the Northern Kentucky University women's basketball team

HR 305:  Recognizing the importance of bicycling

HR 1144:  Expressing support for a "Frank Sinatra Day"

HR 1152:  Honoring Arnold Palmer

HR 1074:  Honoring the anniversary of the Crazy Horse Memorial

I realize that Democrats are running the show in Congress but this is clearly bi-partisan ass-hattery.  The above bills were sponsored in order by:

Rep. Davis (R-KY), Rep. Blumenaur (D-OR), Rep. Serrano (D-NY), Rep. Ferguson (R-NJ) and Rep. Sandlin (D-SD)

Perhaps Congress needs a quick hit off the "bong of reality"?

WE ARE IN A DAMN WAR, PEOPLE!

» And We Elected These Nincompoops? from Euphoric Reality
Congress supports the troops. In fact, they support the troops so much that they slapped some sneaky amnesty BS into a bill allowing funding for the war. And I mean funding for things like, you know, ammo and armor and things that will keep our guys ... [Read More]
