WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Rep. Roy Blunt, the House Republican whip, on July 8 introduced a resolution demanding that the Defense Department better enable U.S. military personnel overseas to vote in the November elections. That act was followed by silence. Democrats normally leap on an opportunity to find fault with the Bush Pentagon. But not a single Democrat joined Blunt as a co-sponsor, and an all-Republican proposal cannot pass in the Democratic-controlled House.
So? Republican proposes, Democrats decline to support.
But wait, why wouldn't Democrat Congressmen want American soldiers to miss out on their right to vote for president?
Could it be because so many loyal Americans who feel strongly enough about defending our rights they'll go overseas to risk life and limb ... would be opposed to an ARAB-American as their Commander in Chief? Or maybe it's just because there aren't too many Democrats fighting for us as there are Republicans?
Ooooo! How diabolically clever! Isolate the citizens most likely to vote against your party during the elections so your party will be in a stronger position to win. Sounds like somebody has been taking notes form Robert Mugabe's political tactics!
Write your congressman and ask them to push for voting rights for American soldiers. At least give them a chance to vote on the government they're defending!
