Double speaking, which used to be called talking out of both sides of one's mouth, is never a desirable quality to witness in anyone. I am especially troubled when I hear it so blatantly from someone representing me in Congress.

Congressman Tim Mahoney recently returned from visiting our troops and complimented them on their high morale and sense of purpose. Then he said it is time to put partisanship aside regarding our troops and make sure they get everything they need.

This from someone who just recently voted to cut our troops funding! Mr. Mahoney obeyed Nancy Peolosi and turned his back on some of America's finest. It's actions like this that gives politicians a bad name. Be a patriot Mr. Mahoney, not a Pelosi puppet.
