Support The Troops. Please.

The GOP minority in the Senate have taken partisanship over even the troops that they routinely accuse others of not supporting:

Having embarked upon a campaign of obstructing every piece of legislation until a pet bill of theirs is brought up, they have continued this even today, in a vote on troop funding.

This afternoon, the Republicans filibustered S. 3001, "the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009", which would have provided for pay raises for troops, health care and additional armor to protect against IEDs.

Remember this, the next time anyone tries to tell you that only the Republicans support the troops. There's been no evidence for that statement since the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan began, and now there's clear evidence to the contrary.
