more on the repugs' version of "supporting the troops"

Breaking: Webb amendment protecting U.S. troops fails.

Senate conservatives filibustered Sen. Jim Webb’s (D-VA) amendment that would require troops to rest for as much or more time as they are deployed. Today, it failed to get the 60 votes needed (56-41) to move forward.

UPDATE: Bob Geiger has more on the vote.

More proof that the Dems are the ones who are really trying to support the troops and are being stopped by the obstructionist repugs, who use the catch phrase, but are unwilling to do anything to back it up.
