After the Senate postponed Kerry's Veterans HC vote.

[Tim4319]

This is how the repubs voted on the issues.

The Republican-controlled chamber also rejected the following amendments, all offered by Democrats:

1. A measure that would have declared all U.S. officials bound by anti-torture laws.
2. A plan to make healthcare for all veterans mandatory.
3. A proposal that National Guard and reservists become eligible for retirement benefits at age 55 instead of 60.
4. A proposal to limit the growth of U.S. military and civilian contractors helping Colombia fight its drug war.

3. I don't understand

why so many military families always vote Republican because they think Republicans 'treat them better'.

WTF?
