86. I am kinda confused here with your post.

You have only 2 Senators to vote for and 1 rep for your district. So, if they have voted for military funding in the past or run on military funding you will not vote for them? Okay, so if they haven't in the past or do not run on the issue, which I have never seen anyone do, then you will vote for them, correct?

Perhaps, if we have free and fair elections in the future, we can hold them accountable and NOT VOTE DEM! Though once again who campaigns on increasing the defense budget? I have never seen that brought up before, perhaps I missed it.

As for the defense budget, it is bloated but it is not used for waging WAR alone! It is for our homelands defense. This country's defense and the target tsf has put on our back. Our enemies will attack. Another 9 11 will most certainly happen with his warmongering. I want us prepared for that.

Me, I vote for a Democrat every single time.
