You do realize, the only reason this bill passed with so much support, is because there was a hate crimes bill earmarked to it. Before the attachment of the hate crimes bill, this bill had about half of the members of congress in support of it. (easily defeatable) If we want to keep funding war, just keep allowing Obama to sign these bills. We also need to hold Democrat members of congress accountable for this. Have the democrats not been listing? Don’t forget this bill would have NEVER have passed if Obama would have followed through with his numerous campaign promises; “We need to do away with the status quo. I will not sign any bill with earmarks.” Signing a bill with a hate crimes legislation “earmarked” to the defense-spending bill was a perfect example of this. Obama could easily have stopped this bill by keeping his promise on earmarks, while keeping face!
