Why Repub. Rep. Bergman voted against stopping funding for military transgender operations. [vanity]

[Songcraft]

When a relative of mine who lives in Congressman Bergman's district in Michigan called his D.C. office to ask them why he was one of only 24 Republicans who voted against the amendment to stop funding for transgender surgeries in the military, a staff member for Congressman Jack Bergman, retired United States Marine Corps Lieutenant General, and the current U.S. Representative for Michigan's 1st congressional district (Northern Michigan - Bart Stupak's old seat), said that both President Trump and Bergman's friend and fellow retired Marine, Secretary of Defense James "Mad Dog" Mattis, both advised Congressman Bergman to vote against that amendment, so that is what he did.   His staff member said that they are also against the military paying for those surgeries, and that they intend to address that issue in the future, in a broader approach to that issue and related issues, and they just don't want that to be a distraction at the present time for other things they are currently working on.

We are not sure if that explanation is really true, as it sounds a little fishy, as I can't see too many people in the military clamoring to get sex change operations paid for by the Pentagon, so I wanted to share some contact information, in case anyone else also wants to contact his office about his vote, as well as some links about that story.

Smells fisher than a sardine in a steam bath.

He straight up wimped and should be ashamed of himself.

And yet, you posted this vanity in “NEWS”

[Songcraft]

That was my reaction as well.

[Songcraft]

You’re right.

[aimhigh]

they intend to address that issue in the future, in a broader approach to that issue and related issues, and they just don't want that to be a distraction at the present time for other things they are currently working on.

What a load of crap! This is the standard Rino excuse - "We'll do it in the future." Always in the future. It's time for this Rino to represent the people, not other politicians.

"...I can't see too many people in the military clamoring to get sex change operations paid for by the Pentagon,

I can see many who want to enlist just to have the govt pick up the dime. They should fail any sort of psychological testing but they get through.

[Gigantor]

Oh boy, a vanity post in news...that’s a paddlin.’

[Songcraft]

That's the same approach they are taking to the healthcare issue, and to everything else too.   Remember the "Know-Nothing Party" from history?   The Republican Party should be renamed the "Do-Nothing Party".

[Songcraft]

"I can see many who want to enlist just to have the govt pick up the dime. They should fail any sort of psychological testing but they get through."

Yeah, you have a point there.

Follow the homosexual lobbyist political donations, identify the closeted homosexuals among those so called Republicans and it becomes understandable. Did historians need any more documentation that America has descended into a neo pagan, hedonistic era when the majority of its elected representatives vote to accommodate sexual deviants even within their own military? Disgusting and sad.

[Songcraft]

It really is “disgusting and sad”, and it is still so hard to believe. (It doesn’t seem like there is any possible way to turn things back to the way they were in the past, either.)

Do you know what lesbians use for potpourri?

An open can of tuna.

A lesbian told me that joke. I kid you not.

[Enterprise]

I think that if you introduced a shemale from Brazil to some of these Republicans they would fall in love. Just sayin’

[BBell]

I have known a lot of homosexual men and women and the majority of them were perfectly normal and surprisingly conservative. But I have never meet a transgender who was not BSC (Bat $hit crazy).

[Songcraft]

My first thought after reading your post was about B/C Jenner.   He/She seems to be at least several bricks short of a full load, and does not appear to ever be happy anymore.

[easternsky]

This is a Newby, sure he will learn or be gone. lol

Bruce is running a scam. Since he decided to become trans he has made over ten million dollars and counting. He already had a stage because of those degenerate Kardasians. He has never taken any hormone therapy, his boobs are prosthetic (fake) he still has his tally whacker and he has said that he is not attracted to men. One day he is going to take off his dress and get his fake boobs removed and he will be laughing all the way to the bank as he signs his contract for his new show about how he came back to being “Bruce”.

[Songcraft]

I don't know -- he might have to do something about that grouchy, grumpy face, and that might cost a few bucks out of their massive fortune...
