Why Do Repubs Hate Our Troops

43 Senate Republicans and Joe Lieberman voted against Senate Amendment 2909, an amendment brought by Jim Webb (D-Va.), who has a son serving in Iraq. The amendment falls four votes short of the sixty needed to avoid a filibuster. The amendment would have given troops the same amount of time at home as they serve in deployments in Iraq.

Why do Repubs hate our troops? Why do they continue to enable the president?
