Reply #10: Time for an Alternative

[erpowers]

This is now the time for the Democrats to fight. Body armor may not have been able to help these soldiers, but maybe armored humvees would have been able to help. I mentioned the body armor for two reasons. One, 19,000 body armor kits have been recalled due to defects. Two, Randy "Duke" Cunningham just pleaded guilty to taking bribes of $2 million dollars from military contractors. With soldiers dying due to lack of material it is time for Democrats to point out what the Republican corruption has done to this country and to the military. Cunningham and other Republican sold out the military in order to enhance their pockets.

I think the lack of body armor and armored humvees is directly linked the bribery scandals. Instead of giving the contracts to the best company these Congressmen and Congresswomen gave contracts to people who would give them the most money. Now look what is happening to the soldiers. Now is the time to call the Republican out on their corruption and put forward an alternative to the American people.
