It may be preaching to the choir, but it's simple - Colorado Republicans love The War, and Hate the Warrior. They can sign off on endless amounts of money, without oversight to any GOP Crony, but will not spend a time for the troops who fought.
I'm a member of the DAV, and here's the numbers for 2006:
Senator Salazar is the only Democratic legislator with less than 100%. And all those "We Support the Troops" Republicans? They all get a "D."
And the GOP nominee for President? He rates a "20" below an "F". As a matter of fact, he's ranked 459th out of 462 members of Congress. Senator McCain, the son of and Admiral, a disabled vet himself, is 3rd from the BOTTOM in helping Veterans.
This is all before the vote on the New G.I. Bill....which Senator McCain refused to vote for (he had fundraising to do.) All Colorado Democrats voted for the GI Bill (except Rep DeGette who had to see her kid graduate) and all Colorado Republicans Voted NO>.
Since the Democrats took power in the Congress, they've passed 63 bills DIRECTLY relating to Veteran or Military benefits...and there's a few weeks left on this session. And last year when the GOP was running the show? - 21.
If you know someone who thinks Republicans take care of the troops, please pass this on.
