I'll say that I whole-heartedly support our troops...I support paying them good wages(especially combat pay), giving them top-notch equipment, fully funding their health benefits and bringing them home to us ASAP.

I will criticize any government that lies to its people, sends them to die on false pretenses, leaves incompetent party hacks in charge of emergency management, ignores environmental crises and cuts funding for student loans and food stamps in order to hand wads of cash to the super-rich.

It should be known that my criticisms are over policies, not parties. Richard Nixon himself was one of two presidents to propose Universal Health Care (the other was FDR, but he cut his plan back to include only those over 65), and Clinton's welfare "reform" is largely responsible for increased child poverty in this country.
