Actually, this is one of the few times the Republicans have played chess while the Democrats are playing checkers. Coming out with a stopgap bill that would fund the pentagon through September, thus guaranteeing military pay regardless of what happens was brilliant. The American people love their troops and realize they're now stretched way too far in 3 theaters, one directly the result of commander of useless Nobel Peace prizes given because a bunch of socialists in Europe hoped for change. Every time there's one of those surveys about who the American people trust the most the troops come out on top. Way on top.
And this time, Obama put his foot in his mouth saying he would veto the bill because it's a distraction. Harry Reed is having a cow over not funding abortions which is evidently the hold up for the main budget bill. As the press hangs on every word of the big 0 and the left, both have been reported via their press conferences and interviews. We're a practical people and have our priorities straight. We cut out things we'd like to have, that might make things easier or more comfortable to pay for the necessities. Both of these fall into that category. Not funding the troops is their biggest mistake because most people are paying attention now since the LSM has made it an issue in the hopes of bringing down the Tea Party.
