Butterfield, Price, Watt, and Miller vote against our troops
Voting 268 for and 155 against, the House on Thursday approved an amendment to HR 2642 that would appropriate $162.5 billion to pay for Iraq-Afghanistan war costs well into 2009.
Why did these Democrats vote against funding the troops? Their earlier attempts at passing a law to force a removal of troops from those two countries failed. I guess we know who supports the military and who doesn’t in North Carolina.
The best reason I can think of is the inclusion of telecom immunity for the illegal and unconstitutional spying perpetrated against the American people.
The better question would have been: Why are these politicians voting to let criminal corporations off the hook for crimes against the American people?
