Voting Against the Troops
Posted by Ilan Goldenberg

This is ridiculous.  The voting against the troops arguement is absurd.  McCain did it just like Obama.  I've made this argument before.

I wanted to focus on McCain's claim that Obama "voted against troop funding."  Well guess what?  So did John McCain.  Last year during the fight over Iraq troop funding and withdrawal from Iraq we saw two rounds of bills.  The first would force the President to begin withdrawing troops within 120 days.  It passed and was vetoed by the President.  John McCain voted against it and supported Bush's veto. So according to John McCain's own definition he himself voted against funding the troops.  Obama voted against the second round of bills, which did not include any attempt to force the President to bring American troops home.

Thank you for your sharing! I like i very much!

The Republicans have always used the American troops as political footballs. Like everything else they see “the troops” as a single entity, not as individual members of the human race doing a worthy and dangerous job for the American public.
Republicans are the first to vote against taking care of our soldiers after they come home in terms of health care, veterans benefits and even continuing education.
By referring to them as “the troops” they can be dehumanized.

ABCELLEN A young man, a student in one of our universities, was one day taking a walk with a professor, who was commonly called the students' friend, for his kindness to those who waited on his instructions. As they went along, they saw lying in the path a pair of old shoes, which they supposed to belong to a poor man who was employed in a field close by, and who had nearly finished his day's work.
The student turned to the professor, saying: "Let us play the man a trick: we will hide his shoes, and conceal ourselves behind those bushes, and wait
to see his perplexity when he cannot find them."
"My young friend," answered the professor, "we should never amuse ourselves at the expense
of the poor. But you are rich, and may give yourself a much greater pleasure by means of the poor man. Put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how the discovery affects him."

Thank you for the article, I saw after the enlightened, my idea like you, just not good at expression

No one can succeed without any hard work. Karl Max was successful, because he spent more than 30 years writing the book "Communist Manifesto"; Tomas Edison succeeded, because he had experimented thousands of times to find the best material for lights. Every success calls for hard work. If you want to suc-ceed, work hard first.zhongchengmaoyi110post
