Republicans: Do you consider military service men and women....?

state workers too, since it's your tax dollars paying their salaries?

BQ: Would you support military withdrawal from the Middle East to balance the budget? That's 12 big ones a month you could be saving.

    A star for you for trying to penetrate thick skulls, and an excellent question as well...

    Imagine, if you would, auditing the military budget by an independent party (not by the military itself) eliminating the waste and funding veterans affairs, education, universal healthcare and Medicare!

    No, I consider them to be the Defenders of the Country. Their jobs have far more value than several members of congress I could name. If I could be sure that no further terrorist attacks would come from the Middle East I wouldn't mind withdrawing, but the odds are against that.

    No. Military is about the only thing the Federal Government should spend money on.

    Until we get energy independent here, we have to stay in the Middle East.

    Hear that liberals?

    In my country they are considered state workers and are covered by the same union as all other government employees.

    Of course, we only use our military to harass fishing boats and do search and rescue missions, oh and clean up after you in Afghanistan.

    Believe me, we could trim some serious military fat and still stay in the Middle East. I see waste every day here.

  • We should defend our own borders first. Which means Illegals and Libs, both that are dangers to America, need to be sent packing. That includes our Anti-American President and his supporters.
