Republicans Shamelessly Standing Between Our Troops and What They Need To Do Their Jobs,Keep Us Safe
United States Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid ^ | September 21, 2010 | United States Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid

Posted on 09/21/2010 1:10:01 PM PDT by mdittmar

Washington, D.C. – Nevada Senator Harry Reid released the following statement after Republicans blocked a cloture motion that would have opened debate on the Defense Authorization bill funding critical assistance for our troops:
 “Republicans are again playing politics with our national security.  Today they blocked the Senate from debating a bill that would give our troops the resources they need to keep America safe – stopping not only funding for combat vehicles and bulletproof vests or measures to improve our military’s readiness, but even a well-earned pay raise to help our troops and their families make ends meet.  
 “I am disappointed that my Republican colleagues put partisan politics ahead of the best interests of the men and women who courageously defend our nation.  Democrats will continue to fight for our troops and will work to ensure that our troops have the resources they need to do their jobs.”

Doesn’t this man have anything else to do with his time...like making sexist and racist remarks about his colleagues?

Reads a bit like the “smear letter.” Hope to see many of its’ signatories dragged to the ashheap of history in November.

Harry is telling the troops they got a choice ~ arms and ammunition with a gay guy in the barracks waiting up late for them, or no arms or ammunition.

Harry is definitely a sexual deviant.

Harry, it’s not nice to USE the troops to forward your Communist agenda. You should respect people, not USE them. People are not out there to be USED. They are not pawns on a political chessboard. Especially not our troops.

Hey Reid, my pet, this is a HOT subject, I do not believe your sincerity at all on this one. Didn’t you say “this war is lost?” among other things?

LMAO Harry has nerve. Purposefully putting a controversial issue in a defense bill and then saying this.

I predicted this would happen how pathetic.

The McConnell just needs to answer this by saying the Dems are the ones holding the US troops hostage by trying to attach two unrelated and controversial amendments to the bill. If the Dems drop the Dream Act and repeal of DADT the Republicans will vote for the bill in heart beat.

Now the Dems and Obama may drum up a terrorist act so that they can brand the GOP as being against the protection of this country.

Nothing is off the table with these Dems., They will kill Americans to retain power.
