Because nowhere is a Navy SEAL more desperately needed than on Capitol Hill:
Democrats are playing games with national security, Representative Ryan Zinke (R-MT) said Saturday, calling on Barack Obama to "do the right thing and help us give our troops the resources they need and the raises they have earned.”
"The president and his party want more money for big government agencies like the IRS and the EPA, and in order to get it, they plan to hold our troops hostage," the Montana lawmaker said in Saturday's GOP address. "Not only are Democrats set in blocking a pay raise for our troops, but if they don’t get more money for the IRS and EPA, they intend to shut down the entire federal government."
Perhaps during the Vietnam War the Democrats might have gotten away with such a blatantly anti-military stunt, but that's the only time I can imagine such a thing....before now. But Obama and (G)Reid clearly believe that they can and will get away with it not, betraying (again) our men and women in uniform, who have already been politicized, sodomized, overloaded with new, stronger enemies that didn't exist as such before, and now to be flat out starved in favor of the omnipresent, almighty Agenda.
The thing is, they clearly don't care how much they outrage the public, most of whom at least still pay lip service to "supporting the troops". This is aimed squarely at majority Republicans, who cannot fairly be compared to K-Mart deck chairs only because they fold so readily and reflexively that it would be an insult to K-Mart. And it'll work this time, too.
But, since we're being fair this morning, let's also be fair to the Dems. They support the troops....after they're dead and thus politically useful.
Consider this the Political Pistachio address.
