Today’s a busy day, but I couldn’t let this go unnoticed:

The U.S. Senate — including Arizona Republicans Jon Kyl and John McCain — Wednesday voted to divert some Iraq war spending to border security…Most Democrats opposed the measure, citing worries the fund move could decrease money for U.S. troops and body armor in Iraq.

So, for McCain, the choice is clear: pay for our troops to fight the war he so vigorously supports, or help Congressional Republicans grandstand. For McCain, the choice is simple - responsibility doesn’t play well with the racist Republican base.

When our troops don’t have the equipment they need to do the job Bush, McCain, and others send them to do, you can blame Republican demagogues like McCain.
