Hillary To Troops: "Drop Dead!"

Why am I not surprised by this?

WASHINGTON - Republicans on Thursday tried to turn a controversial anti-war newspaper ad against Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama after neither voted to condemn it.

The Senate voted 72-25 to pass a resolution condemning a MoveOn.org ad that referred to Gen. David Petraeus, the commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, as "Gen. Betray Us." The liberal group's full-page ad appeared last week in The New York Times.

Clinton voted against the measure; Obama did not vote. (H/T - Yahoo!)

Tell me again how Hillary Clinton supports the troops?

"But Wyatt, she does support the troops. Just not their Commander-in-Chief . . . or their General . . . or their mission . . . "

Look, politicians on both sides of the aisle are morons. Unfortunately, three of the biggest morons in the Senate happen to be running for President in 2008: Clinton, Obama, and Biden. Why neither of these three would vote against a symbolic resolution - one without any teeth, mind you - is beyond me. Just vote against the despicable ad and move on (pun intended). The dopes at MoveOn would have supported you afterwards, simply because you guys are Dems! None of these fools did that, and that tells me that they are more beholden to a radical left-wing website than they are to the men and women risking their lives overseas.

That, to me, in unforgivable.

I don't know General Petraeus, but he seems to be an honorable gentleman. I do, however, respect the opinions of those who served with him, and when this nonsense gets Pandy fired up, I gotta believe the Hill-dabeast and Obama made a huge mistake.
