I would like to see our elected officials pick up a weapon and join
ranks before they start cutting out benefits and lowering pay for our
sons and daughters who are now fighting.

Don't expect any improvement from this administration. Party unity
is more important to them than veterans.

Wow, the *reporter* interjects a biased opinion in the very first
sentence of the story. I thought reporters were to report stories, not
editorialize, but what would one expect from a liberal newspaper?

Do you have more credible links on this Thunder?

Oh please, the Star-Ledger is a quality newspaper.

Your *opinion* but not that of the majority.

Now direct me to another source that provides specific proof that "the
move was prompted by the New Jersey lawmaker's failure to follow the party
line and his insistence on increasing spending for veterans".

None of the links you provided could do so.

Coincidence? ;-)

You are living in denial. I'd need a Freedom of Information Act request
to get anything out of the Republican Steering Committee. Keep your eyes
open, you will see more of this under DeLay and Hastert. It's called
"party discipline" and they are good at it. Washington's Farewell Address
comes to mind:
