Breaking - Republicans block pay raises for military personnel.

[pinto]

Today's political grandstanding by Republicans in the Senate effectively put "on hold" pay raises for American military personnel. Seems a crass move, especially when so many families are struggling to make ends meet.

To hold hostage financial relief to thousands of American military families for the sake of a partisan wedge issue is politics at its worst. It's not the Grand Old Party, it's the Grandstand Party.

Enough is enough.

6. Let's be honest

the military is something to be used, not supported...if you are a modern-day Republican.

I mean they don't have the good sense to die while winning all those victories for the sake of Empire.

Have I mentioned just how much I highly dislike modern-day republicans?
