Supporting the Troops-Repukes Target $$ For Homeless Vets

1. Fuck them
they need to go to a VA clinic and see the Vets and grow the balls to tell them they are getting a cut. There are so many homeless vets going to the Clinic here.

8. Look, I know that solidarity is important
And standing behind our president is usually a good idea when he's a Dem

But have you read the news? White House chastises DNC for helping the strikers? I mean, how the FUCK can you get behind that?
