When we voted for Jim Webb, he said he would stand up for Virginia residents, and promised us he was a moderate. How can they betray us and support this???

In my opinion most politicians running for office will tell you anything to get your vote. When they get into office it's a different ball game. It doesn't matter what the issue is whether it's taxes, spending, health care, medicaid, medicare or the war on terror. Speaking of the War on Terr-or the commander in chief said he would give the Generals whatever they needed to get the job done. It's been 52 days since The Head General asked for 45,000 more Troops to complete the job to secure Afghanistan.The letter is still on Obama's desk & no troops!!! Lets get the General what he needs.Now!!!!
