House conservatives boo veterans organizations who urge a clean military funding bill.»

On Friday, the House considered a bill providing needed funding to veterans and military organizations. House conservatives tried to attach an offshore oil drilling amendment to the bill, threatening its passage. Chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Chet Edwards (D-TX) denounced the tactic. When he read statements from veterans groups urging Congress not to meddle with the legislation, House conservatives booed.

Watch it at link~

Despite the Republicans’ stunts, the House passed the bill.

4. The Republicans act like a bunch of selfish, inconsiderate, spoiled children.
They should have their pants pulled down, and a wooden paddle firmly applied to their butt cheeks until they shut the hell up.

The Republican Party is a disgrace to this country.
