Many of us knew that members of the GOP did not give a shit about how many of our brave men and women in the armed services die in
Iraq. Now we have a direct quote from one of the GOP’s leaders in Congress that proves it.
Congressman John Boehner was interviewed by Wolf Blitzer of CNN. Here is the exchange that proves that the GOP could care less about the deaths of our soldiers and their careless attitude about it.
BLITZER: How much longer will
U.S. taxpayers have to shell out $2 billion a week or $3 billion a week as some now are suggesting the cost is going to endure? The loss in blood, the Americans who are killed every month, how much longer do you think this commitment, this military commitment is going to require?
BOEHNER: I think General Petraeus outlined it pretty clearly. We’re making success. We need to firm up those successes. We need to continue our effort here because, Wolf, long term, the investment that we’re making today will be a small price if we’re able to stop al Qaeda here, if we’re able to stabilize the Middle East, it’s not only going to be a small price for the near future, but think about the future for our kids and their kids.
A small price? Try telling that to the families of those that have died in Bush’s bloody and illegal war.
Blood and treasure are no object…when someone else is doin’ the bleeding and footin’ the bill.
How does Boner get away with statements like this? If Nancy Pelosi had said the same thing, the MSM would be all over her like flies on shit. Wait, I know: The Dems won’t call attention to Boner’s statements because they wouldn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. In pink tu-tu land, it’s more important to be nice than to fight back.

Even Mike Huckabee, who is a Republican presidential candidate, has pointed out that the average pro-life Republican stops caring about a child as soon as it is out of the womb. This is a good example of this disregard for human life.
