Obey Said What

Yesterday, on the House floor, Dave Obey said, "I intend to support whatever money is necessary in order to support our troops." It's in the Congressional Record for March 15th if you want to look it up online (www.thomas.loc.gov).

We invited you back to October 31, 2003, when Dave Obey voted AGAINST funding necessary to support our troops (click here to see the vote). That was the same funding for our troops that John Kerry voted for before he voted against.

So, a more accurate statement would probably have been, "For right now, I intend to support whatever money is necessary in order to support our troops, because I haven't always."

We think it's because it's an election year and Obey has 3 opponents who are more than willing to talk about how Obey hasn't fully supported out troops.
