201. unbelievable!

OK, I and others have answered you. You answer this: Would you have had Sanders and the other Democrats not fund the war that was happening despite their votes against it? Wasn't it bad enough that trillions of dollars earmarked for the war disappeared and our military didn't have the right equipment? That they weren't provided with the most basic of equipment like flak jackets, jackets that private citizens bought, paid for and sent to Iraq and Afghanistan to protect our military, and shocks for the humvees. Shocks that would have saved literally thousands of our military from brain damage?

Are you happy with what has become of our educational system due to the bush head start/no child left behind crap? Would you prefer that Democrats just voted for all Republican bills and just roll the fuck over?

How do you justify criticizing Sanders, and therefore most Democrats on funding our service men and women in a war we threw them in? How do you justify criticizing Democrats on standing up against the horror that is/was the Republican version of "helping" children and the disabled?

How do you justify this?
