I cannot believe how immoral, irresponsible and hypocritical our Republican leaders in congress are. Its beyond sad. It's blood boiling. Just like conservatives wrap themselves in the flag as they burn the constitution, they shout "support the troops!" as they spit on our veterans' service to Americans.

Disabled American Veterans rates our elected representatives in Washington based on their support for veterans' issues. Their ratings for 2005 are as follows:

• Rep. Jim Oberstar: 100

• Rep. Betty McCollum: 100

• Rep. Martin Sabo: 100

• Sen. Mark Dayton 92

• Rep. Collin Peterson: 60

• Sen. Norm Coleman 50

• Rep. Gil Gutknecht: 20

• Rep. Jim Ramstad: 20

• Rep. Mark Kennedy: 20

• Rep. John Kline: 0

Luckily, at least two of those republicans aren't going to be sent back next year. The rest of congress' ratings can be found here

I'd like to see the party averages. Who's got a calculator?
