"If the name Bill Hobbs is attached to it, you'd better check the facts." - Me.

So seems to be the case in the battle over who loves veterans more, the Democrats or the Republicans. This stems from the Veterans day announcement by the State House and Senate Democratic Caucuses, that they would be introducing legislation, Helping Heroes Act of 2008, to create a new grant for veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan battles, to supplement their GI Bill. Bill Hobbs, who recently took a job as Communications Director for the TNGOP, was quick to respond that the Republicans offered a bill to do this earlier this year, and their bill was better.

Now, I realize I'm a little late to the game on this, but considering that the debate still rages on (at least in the comments over at VV), I figured I'd do the best I could in tackling the subject and trying figure out who is right and who is wrong.
