A Question for the Republicans in Congress

So, Obama wants $83.4 billion to fund the military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

To any Republican in Congress who opposes this spending, but supported the same spending when Bush was president, I ask the following question: If you are not a partisan hack, then why are you suddenly against this military spending? You had no problem when it was a Republican war.

Just as Nixon made Johnson's Democratic war into a Democrat/Republican war, so Obama's call for billions more to fund military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan instead of to fund a withdrawal means that he has turned a Republican war into a Republican/Democrat war. Both parties are war parties. Both parties are socialist parties. Both parties are evil parties.
