Connolly: House GOP “turned its back on the heroes of Iraq and Afghanistan”

"Congressman Connolly was disappointed that the House majority turned its back on the heroes of Iraq and Afghanistan by rejecting his amendment to continue emergency mortgage assistance to service members, veterans, and gold star families who have been hit by the foreclosure crisis. The amendment was defeated on a party line vote of 182-238." As always, can you imagine what Republicans would have said if Democrats had done something like this? I can just hear it now, "why do Democrats hate America?" blah blah blah. But always remember, IOKIYAR ("it's ok if you're a Republican").
