After promising on the campaign trail to "support our troops," Democrats tried to cut off funding for our military while our soldiers and Marines are under fire from the enemy. For 19 Senate Democrats, this was simply a bridge too far, so they voted against their own leadership's proposal.

Now the party's leaders are stalling an emergency supplemental bill with funding for body armor, bullets and mine-resistant vehicles.

The Democratic victory in 2006 was narrow. They won the House by 85,961 votes out of over 80 million cast and the Senate by a mere 3,562 out of over 62 million cast.

Can't argue with that, though I know the lefties will try. Remember lefties, ad hominem attacks are not a refutation of his argument. You can't refute him by stating that he's Beelzebub, Hitler and Stalin all rolled into one.
Tongue in cheek, lefties. You know, humor.
