The proposed 2012 budget...

You can't recall it because you have blinders on to everything your precious Republican party does.

The Democrats were trying to cut funding to Iraq because of ideological reasons not because of financial reasons. After all they DID vote to fund the war.

I seem to recall some sort of democrat fellow changing his vote because of financial reasons, if my feeble mind stretches back that far it was because the structure for finance was changed entirely so that the US taxpayer got shafted with the full bill.
I think them publican fellows started ranting about him being a sandal or something like that for changing his mind over trivial finances on their ideological crudade.
