Ever notice how "Support the Troops" has a hard time making the jump from the bumper sticker into the real world? I'm sure conservatives on here will be more than ready to blame "Massachusetts liberals", but you see this kind of stuff all the time. Hell, didn't the government try to cut a lot of combat benefits for the troops not too long ago? In that case it was the Dems who stood up for the troops...but it happens both ways, it's sad, if anybody deserves these benefits...it's the people getting shot at.

Well... since you brought it up...

In this case you are correct. I'm not about to excuse Dubbya's administration from the cuts they have made to the VA and other programs (In fact... Link to thread on the front page - sickening) but when taken as as single issue... yeah, I'll blame Mass liberals here. What other explaination is there?
