Republicans like to do things for show.  They like to hold up little Constitutions, while they subsequently violate it with glee.  They like to wrap themselves in the flag, while they defecate on what it represents.  And they like to feign support for Veterans, while they slash their benefits and defund their programs.  Here\u2019s a Vet that sees right through them.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"15RedgeRaynard\"While veterans stormed memorials<\/a> yesterday with the help of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) and former half-term governor, best-selling author and reality television star Sarah Palin, another veteran was on the airwaves hitting Republicans \u2014 and hitting them hard \u2014 for the government shutdown. Coming after the latest Wall Street Journal-NBC News poll<\/a> showing 70 percent of the nation thinks congressional Republicans like Cruz are putting their political interests ahead of the country, this has gotta hurt.<\/p>\n

Redge Ranyard is featured in a powerful ad<\/a> taking congressional Republicans to task for the shuttered government and its impact on veterans. The 90-year-old World War II Navy veteran was ticked off by a comment House Speaker John Boehner made nearly two weeks ago. According to the New York Times story<\/a> that got Ranyard\u2019s blood boiling, Boehner told his raucous caucus mere days after the start of the shutdown, \u201cWe are locked in an epic battle.\u201d In his response on behalf of VoteVets.org<\/a>, Ranyard doesn\u2019t mince words\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
