Florida Democrat Supports the Military… of Soviet Russia

July 2, 2008 by Joe 

Showing the true nature of modern day Democrats, Florida Congressman Tim Mahoney, through his congressional office staff sent out a postcard that was intended to acknowledge and honor the sacrifices of the brave men and women of the U.S. Armed forces, both past and present. But, knowing that 99.9% of all liberal democrats can’t bring themselves in their hearts to fully and honestly honor our troops, somebody on Mahoney’s staff made an “honest error.”

Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer wants Congressman Tim Mahoney, D-Palm Beach Gardens, to reimburse taxpayers for a mailing that featured an image of a former soldier of the Soviet Union’s Red Army.

“Is a taxpayer-funded mail piece featuring a Soviet veteran who defended communism really the way that Congressman Mahoney wants to ‘honor’ our men and women in uniform?” Greer stated. “Floridian’s hard-earned tax dollars should never be used to promote a communist veteran, whether it is a mistake or not, and it is time for Tim Mahoney to reimburse the taxpayers of Congressional District 16 for this ridiculous waste of money, not to mention his insensitivity and complete lack of understanding of veterans’ issues.”

Mahoney’s office apologized Monday for placing the decorated Soviet on an office mailing that was to honor “those who defend our freedom.” But it had no response to Greer’s comment about repaying taxpayers.

“This was an honest staff error,” said Charles Halloran, chief of staff for Mahoney. “We deeply apologize to those who were offended and we will take steps to ensure that this mistake doesn’t happen in the future.”

I agree with the “honest” part, in that modern day Democrats certainly honestly do feel more for Red Russia then they do Red, White and Blue America
