Steve Pearce congressman from New Mexico spoke on the house floor just a few minutes ago about Operation Redwing and the heroes of Seal Team 10 and a horrific firefight that went down in the mountains of Afghanistan on a late night in June of 05. This story showed the courage of four very brave men and how three of them they gave their lives for this country. Marcus Luttrell was this lone survivor in this operation and thankfully was able to survive and retell this very important story. The courage of Marcus Luttrell and his friends and bravery shown by these men should give pride and a reason to all Americans why our military is so great. Mr Pearce told this story to show Democrats the military is very worthy off getting their pay even should the Government be shutdown.

Steve Cohen Democrat form Tennessee immediately came to floor afterwards and basically slammed the speech by Pearce calling it a scam and not worthy of being given on the floor and that it wasn't a worthwhile reason to include the pay for military. I was so shocked at the Cohen response I am unable to recall the exact words but I know surely the pundits on TV will have this speech on tonight if anyone at all is paying attention to whats being said on the floor. And if there are people watching then it should bring a backlash to the Democrats for so flippantly dismissing  this hero.

The lies being told on the house floor over this bill makes it hard for me to sit through without wanting to pull my hair out. Actual out and out lies being spewed with no shame being shown yet when it is finished probably the only place that will replay and explain those lies will be Fox News. The rest of the stations or news organizations  will look on this as one of those, "us and them", kind of debates and will not let the truth be told. Something has to be done by the citizens in this country. They must wake up or this country will lose the what is left of America.
