Did anyone notice that RMoney didn't thank the troops?

All that fluff last night and not one mention of thanking, or supporting our troops? And this is the guy the GOP wants in the White House?

1. William Kristol did and was on Fox complaining about it.

2. The GOP/RNC seems to have ZERO interest in the troops.

Seriously.. their weird rambling messages are all over the place, but they have done NOTHING for the troops in the past four years. Seems that our President and the Democrats are the ones who have been pushing things forward on their behalf.

The republicans don't need the troops unless it benefits them politically. They want nothing other than being in power. They don't care who they use or abuse to do it.

3. Yet so many military vote Republican.

5. Because they don't equate what defense spending really is

Think about it, Republicans are strong in Defense Spending.
But they never talk about where it goes other than funding the Military Industrial Complex for gear and so forth.

Many don't stop to think that it doesn't really go for their benefit.
It doesn't really mean that their benefits have improved, when quite a bit of it was slashed during the Bush years.

Republicans are Spend Thrifts in Defense. They don't spend smart, they just spend. People get stuck on the numbers but not on what it accomplishes.

8. Yes, I know

And as someone who has a family member killed over there, and whose child wants to enlist in a year, I want a president like Obama who is level-headed, not hot-headed...not a war monger who is chomping at the bit to start a war here, there and everywhere to satify his big, egotistical stupidity.

How many of Romney's sons will be on the front lines?

4. Why does Mitt hate America??

7. Because tax breaks in the Caymen Islands are better

6. I am just surprised

that for a party of war mongers, they didn't have the courtesy of thanking them. And then Rmoney almost got us in a war with Syria, Iran and Russia on live TV. That's all we need now, more unsubstantiated wars. A friend of mine said they were throwing fresh "reserve" troops in Afghanistan, which tells me that we don't even have enough qualified troops to keep up now. An then to add another unpaid war to the deficit? How irresponsible is that? I sure hope he doesn't get in power.
