Louder Than Words: Hypocritical Republicans Hate Our Military Men and Women [View all]

But somehow the rhetoric is always the same from the right: the Democrats hate our veterans.

Aw, yes, the Democrats. It’s always the Democrats. The liberal hippies who hate war must hate our veterans, like the Republicans, who voted to cut from food stamps last year which would have kicked hundreds of thousands of veterans right off the program, rendering them hungry with no support for food. Thanks for feeding them.

Like the Republicans, who filibustered the Veterans Jobs Bill in 2012, a bill that would have created jobs for up to 20,000 veterans, was blocked on a procedural point, arguing that the bill was unpaid for (aw yes, I forgot, they love to offset the costs) even though it was paid for. Thanks for giving them the jobs you’ve been promising all of us.

Like the Republicans, when they refused to reinstate the unemployment insurance and kicked off thousands upon thousands of veterans, they convinced all the hard working Americans it was the right thing to do. The Republicans called those on unemployment insurance lazy, and leeching of our system.

Or how about when they, in 2012, blocked another veterans bill (a bill that had its costs offset) that would have put veterans as first priority in hiring for police and fire department positions. Explain that, Republicans.

Or how about when they blocked bills that would have provided funding for our veterans suffering from PTSD, some still suffering from Vietnam era 40+ years ago. They seem too keen on curving mental illness, but when the time comes, they are quick to give them the finger and vote NAY.
