Are the Democrats going to vote to cut Millitary bennefits and pay?

I don't thnk they will.  How has the Republician leadership improved the VA and benefits for vets in the last six years?  Being I work in the field I would rest easy.  the GOP did a lot more damage to Vet packages than dems.

I think they are planing on it.  When I changed my address on my DL and registered to vote they also had me sign up for Selective Service.  They even asked my mom to do it.  Go figure.  :)

That would be nice, but it is very complicated to implement.  And it had the potential to get more out of hand then what we got now.\n\nI think the senators, representatives, and other major government officials should take a pay cut.  That could save millions per year.  And it could make them more concerned for the average American.

yea, your assumption is the problem with the statement.  People want our people to come home.  there is no doubt about it.  Not one person would say they would RATHER have military fighting war than not.  But some people understand the necessities of it.  The Dems (like most every other agenda they try to push) keep saying they "have a plan" the uneducated masses believe this garbage and say "well if they have a plan lets let them inact it."  Dems are praying on hope and ignorance of the american people and it is what is going to lose the war and leave us in a worse place then we are now.

Did you see the way the Democratic Party is trying their damnest to get the military votes disqualified? It was all over the news again today, just like it was 2 years ago when Hanoi John Kerry tried to do the same thing. The Democrats are scared to death of the military vote.

This is true my husband came back from Iraq with nothing, no money, no health insurance etc.. We hear stories of fellow veterans that got screwed too. It's disgusting. Democrats are the only hope for veterans. If you don't believe me, look at the voting records of our leaders. Vote Democratic on Tuesday, it's the only way to really support the troops. \n\nI was a republican before the army experience now I see the hypocrisy and lies. Read to reports, read the voting records.

YES to all that.. But more important, Democrats in the majority in congress will stop a one party rule!.. And no party should have as much power to wage useless wars and policies for profit that this government has done over the last 6 years.. In a word, \nAccountability \nThis is what a democratic vote will do.

The military is not for everyone.  The draft should be used only as the last option.  I think this is the democrats way of finally destroying the military.  They have tried every other way and so far it hasn't worked.  This will surely do it. \nsigned.....a vet

They're still trying to bring it up for a vote. The bill will be on the ballot in November. I'd suggest voting Democrat tomorrow.

Our military stands in the path of the Social Democrat's desire to fully mutate our nation into a Worker's Paradise.\n\n\nThey will resort to any tactic in order to discredit and disarm our military.

As long as the Democrats can make a decent decision for once in Congress; we wont quite, we wont surrender. Thats what America was built on. But hey, when Congress pulls us out and a couple of 9/11's come, it'l be all those Americans that voted Democrats fault, and them, and their families will suffer

I'm confused by your writing that "Republicans in Congress have their work cut out for them this fall". Is there some secret polling I'm not aware of that says Democrats are cruising along? Last I heard the Democrats in Congress were polling with LESS than 25% approval ratings.\n\nI think everyone is going to have a tough time this election season. And that's awesome.

Absolutely not. We the American people are the ones that voted them in and we are the ones that should say how much they make and when or if they should ever have a pay raise. They are employed by us and in every other business the boss decides who gets a raise and who doesn't. Put the vote to the people and see how much money we could save on the incredible, ridiculous salaries and benefits these politicians get. I am a registered voter and I do exercise my right to vote each and every time an election comes around.

actually, they won't cut a whole lot... unless they cut spending for the war.  their campaign was one of "create more social programs to spend the extra money that we will be taxing"

I will be voteing democrat,since I have lived on both sides,having it all to having almost nothing I have a good view of what effects our decision makers have on Americans,starting down here.\nI will vote this way because i care for all Americans,nearly 300,000.000,another 43,000,000 on s/s or disability and another 43,000,000 without any insurance at all many of them children.\nI don't like it when I hear George w Bush talk to an elderly group before his last election trying to get votes and then turn around after elected and cut the houseing budget for elderly and disabled people in half when around here there is already a waiting list of two or three years to get affordable housing,thats why i'll vote democratic,can't hurt.

It would be political suicide for the dems to defund the war.\n\nThey will have to compromise.  Remember, the new dems tend to be more to the center, not the left.  I think they are already saying they cannot impeach Mr. Bush, and they cannot just "cut n run."\n\nLet's hope they keep their senses about them.

Those who want the US to lose in Iraq will vote Dem. Those of us who want our country to win will vote Rep.
