How dare Republicans run year after year on "You don't support the troops!"

How many of those troops would be home with their families instead of in hospitals or graves, if it weren't for this catastrophic fiasco that's STILL being promoted and cheered by John McCain?!? And they continue to exploit those troops, in their hospital beds, as political fodder, pretending THEY "support the troops."

Slap on a bumpersticker, accuse somebody else of "not supporting the troops," and vote Republican. Easy, instant "Patriotism."

Shame on them all. I hope the Obama campaign, and all his career-military supporters, come out STRONG against this tactic. We've seen enough of it.
