How could the Senate Republicans KILL the veteran's job bill?

The Republicans show no respect for our servicemen by fillibustering this bill. They need to be voted out.

EDIT: Let me rephrase that...they need to be voted the FUCK out.

My God, this is insane. And they and their families will mostly vote against Obama and the Democrats running for Congress. I'm almost not feeling sorry for them.

The two Bush wars were not paid for so why does this small $1 billion bill have to be paid for?

Why not cut the DOD funding this amount?

One billion dollars gets lost in rounding in the DOD funding.

What a bunch of Republican jerks!!!!!!

But ones from the past favored Romney by 58-59%

http://nation.foxnews.com/obama/2012/07/22/rasmussen-poll-military-veterans-pick-romney-over-obama-59-35

I have no idea what they are thinking. Romney is going to hurt Republican candidates enough as it is, now they had to go and screw the troops.
