GOP: NRA Liability Bill More Urgent than Defense

Nice. Real nice. Bill Frist and his GOP bloodsucking whores felt it was of the UTMOST URGENCY to cram in the votes on the NRA Liability Bill and cast aside the $491 Billion Defense until this fall. So, setting up a vote on legislation to shield firearms manufacturers and dealers from lawsuits over gun crimes takes precedence over our troops' needs in a war?And it is the Dems who get accused of not supporting the troops? Well, at least the Army Times sees the writing on the wall and calls a spade a lying sychophant spade: "Senate Repub leaders decided that a gun manufacturers’ liability bill is more important than next year’s $441.6 billion defense authorization bill. With Dems expressing amazement that there could be any higher legislative priority in a time of war than the annual defense bill that includes money for pay and benefits, operations and maintenance, and weapons’ purchases and research, Sen Frist (TN) the Senate Repub leader, decided Tues that a bill protecting gun manufacturers from lawsuits over the illegal use of firearms was a higher priority. It will not be until September that Senate gets back to the defense bill." I certainly would like to see these pertinent facts splashed across a campaign ad in '06 or '08, wouldn't you?
