Will the T-baggers use the troops as an excuse to give in?

[sammytko]

Lots of news about the chief of staff telling troops in Afghanistan that he does not know if they will get paid. I can see the t-baggers giving in and saying they did it for the troops and still pass the blame to the Dems....

2. Teabaggers ARE fanatics

So don't hold your breath waiting for them to be reasonable, because they won't. They are as focused as any suicide bomber can be...and are just as willing for YOU to die for their beliefs.

It is important to grasp this concept.

3. I doubt it.

They only care about themselves/their "bosses" agenda(s.

[sammytko]

4. And that is why they will use the troops -

they'll look like they care and take credit for bringing this crisis to an end!

5. You won't have any troops if they don't get paid.

How foolish are the Repukes going to get?

6. USAA bank is going to front any unpaid salaries to those on active duty

Retired etc are on their own. They are going to give you a break on any insurance payments or check bounce fees.

11. USAA is a good organization, I wouldn't include them in

our current form of predatory capitalism. I am just very worried about the troops overseas and how this is going to affect their moral.

12. I worry about them also. I was in Kuwait at the start of the war

We would let the army and marine guys use our Internet so they could check their finances and bills. Also send out a quick email to family. Thankfully they all have better comm but they still worry.

7. good grief no

they don't care a hoot about the troops. Any concern they express is lip service-nothing more. The tea party and their supporters are proof positive of the great dumbing down of America. On display for all to enjoy.

8. Teabaggers are not Necons

they are the opposite (Libertarian-leaning - isolationist), so it's ironic that they have been loud enough to shut Darth Cheney's minions down. :rofl:

9. IOUs backed by the

full faith of the US gooberment. Nutting to worry about.

:rofl:

[CelticThunder]

10. They have one purpose and one purpose only. To bring down Obama. They will

happily ruin the country to achieve that goal. Its ruination is just collateral damage to them.

[MadMaddie]

13. No! I don't believe for a minute they will trade their radical

ideology for caring for our troops. I don't believe they ever cared for our troops. Other than the loon from Florida West how many of them actually served? They will however; fund any war that crosses their path.

[sammytko]

14. Two that I checked have served.

Sandy Adams and that little guy from louisiana

[MadMaddie]

15. They of all people should be asking for a clean bill to make

sure our troops get paid.
