What amazes me is if the roles were reversed – if the Dems had filibustered, blocked an up/down vote, on a defense spending bill they’d be vilified as soft on terror, mean to the troops, not serious about defense.
I don’t see any discussion of this when the shoe’s on the other foot. The GOP voted against cloture on a defense spending bill. They voted against funding the troops. Yet there is no suggestion that they don’t support the troops, national defense, the two wars, etc…
