200 Congressional Republicans Vote to Cut off Funds for Troops in Combat

Remember back in the 2004 presidential campaign when George W. Bush, doing what Karl Rove told him too (obviously) hammered John Kerry for voting against the war funding bill?

Insinuating, of course, that he was both unpatriotic, and worse off, was risking the lives of American troops in combat by not providing them with ammunition, food, shelter, etc.

Along with the equally disgraceful "Swiftboat Veterans for Truth" campaign, it was arguably the issue that won Bush the election in 2004.

Fast forward five year to today, and whoa! What do we find? Nearly every single Republican voted to cut off funds for the troops simply because Obama is the president and Democrats are the majority.

Fortunately, America has come a long way in five years. These days Republicans have lost all credibility and get routed in election after election...
