How dare you bulk up a war funding bill with ridiculous pork spending! You should truly be ashamed of yourselves. We have our troops fighting for our safety and national security in Iraq, and you fill a funding bill with things that do not even deal with this war. What you are trying to do is make the Republicans have no choice to fund your pathetic agenda, well guess what, it's not going to work!
Stop playing politics Democrats and acting like you are strong on National Defense, because you aren't. Fund one bill, strictly for operations of Iraq, and then our troops will be happy. But for you liberals to halt funding to back your political scheme is extremely wrong and you should all be ashamed.
I as an American feel very upset. If this BS was going on during Vietnam, I would've been upset. Funding our troops is an absolute necessity to our safety and freedom.
