Yesterday I highlighted the names of Republican troop haters who voted (unanimously) in the Appropriations committee last week to continue to send troops to Iraq before they're combat ready and fully equipped.

Their shameless and, frankly, traitorous opposition to key provisions of the Defense of the American Soldier Act ought to have their constituents seeing red. And apparently, it does.

Blue Jersey, on Rodney Frelinghuysen

So in a nutshell, Rodney Frelinghuysen is another GOP poodle whose party line is simple: pin an American flag to your lapel, say you support the troops, and then vote to kill them.

Red State Rebels, on Mike Simpson

It's time someone started asking Mike Simpson who deserves his loyalty: the troops he's ordered into harm's way or his political party's failed policy.

Michigan Liberal, on Joe Knollenberg

Guess who recently voted against an amendment that would require our troops heading to Iraq to be equipped with the new body armor and certified combat ready? If you answered Joe Knollenberg, the same Joe Knollenberg who organized a Support the Troops rally the other day, you'd be correct.

Vote NO on JOE, also on Knollenberg

We have contacted votevets.org to see what we need to do to modify this so it can be run here so voters know see just how Knollenberg "supports" the troops.

The Albany Project, on Jim Walsh

At best, Jim Walsh (R-Bushland) doesn't believe that sending our troops into battle in Iraq without being properly equipped, properly trained and without being properly rested will get many of those troops killed. At worst, he simply doesn't care.

Montana Netroots, on Dennis Rehrberg

Dennis was told to vote for it on the party line and he did so. This was a party line vote in committee and Rehberg voted his party 100%. Could this be it? Could it be that Dennis Rehberg is a party tool? The alternative, as I see it, is that he doesn’t give a damn about the troops safety. In either case, he is putting the troops last.

Intelligent Disconnect, also on Rehrberg

Remember step three of the Dennis Rehberg action plan for Iraq, to vote against the interests of the American military? well, he's back at it again.

The Flypaper Theory, on Zach Wamp

In East Tennessee, in the town of West Gomp, there lived a mad Gooper called Zachary Wamp. He loved to kill soldiers, he thought it was fun to send them to war with an unloaded gun.

More Flypaper Theory, on Wamp

Q: What sound does an undertrained, ill-equipped American soldier make when he's gunned down in Iraq? A: Zach! Wamp!

Down With Tyranny! on Jerry Lewis and John Doolittle

[O]n the 15 votes regarding the well-being of our fighting men and women, the only time Doolittle didn't vote against them was on October 30, 2003 when he was absent-- and Jerry Lewis-- 3 absences but an otherwise perfect record of undermining the well-being of our fighting men and women.

There are no elected members of either house of Congress as dangerous to our country's safety and security as John Doolittle and Jerry Lewis.

UPDATE: ArchPundit on Mark Kirk

Don’t worry, troops. As soon as you get home, you’ll be a veteran, and then Mark Kirk will love you. I’m hoping and praying that you come home safe and sound. Too bad Mark Kirk doesn’t care.

The Daily Gotham, on Jim Walsh

James Walsh believes that American soldiers should be sent into combat unready, unarmored, unfit to fight. James Walsh does not realize, or does not care, that his ass-kissing of his White House overlord will cost American lives. James Walsh, ladies and gentlemen, is a pig.

UPDATE: Seems John Doolittle (R-CA) and John Peterson (R-PA) mysteriously "missed" the vote last week. Particularly mysterious because Doolittle was apparently at the markup, but just didn't vote. Hmm. Local bloggers, have any of you been able to learn why Doolittle or Peterson ducked their chance to Defend our American Soldiers?
