MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa - Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton on Sunday renewed her pledge to ensure the United States fulfills its obligations to veterans.
At the Iowa Veterans Home in central Iowa, Clinton said she was glad to be there during the holidays a time when "we all think about what we're grateful for and where we give to one another.
"Well, no one has given more to our country than our country's veterans," she said. "I believe that when you sign up to serve our country, our country must serve you with the health care, the compensation and the support that you so richly deserve."

Instead of attacking her Democratic rivals, Clinton targeted the Bush administration, which she said has slashed veterans' benefits. She added that she wants to help make up for those mistakes, and said she's already been trying to assist veterans.
"I cannot tell you how many veterans I've had to intervene for, go to bat for, cut the red tape for, who were being denied what was rightfully theirs," she said. "If you are entitled to a benefit, then under our law the president of the United States shouldn't stand in the way, the president should make sure you are given what you have earned and deserve."
Clinton vowed to enact a GI Bill of Rights to expand benefits such as education and housing to service members, veterans and their families.
"We are going to change the attitude, we're going to change the policies, and we're going to have a president who believes that honoring our veterans' service is one of the primary jobs of being the president of the United States," she said.

Oh sure!!
Even the dog has issues with Hillary's lies to the Vets.
During a question and answer session, a man asked Clinton how she'll pay for care for all the veterans returning from Iraq. "When we end the war in Iraq we are going to have a lot of money," she said. "We're going to use the money that we have been spending on Iraq $300 million a day and start taking care of our people here at home."
Typical Clintonian non answer answer. You'll note "veterans" was NOT in her response, but replaced by "people".
Gotta watch every word these trailer trash gutter dwellers utter.
Priceless!
YES, like Stalin loved his people....lying bitch.
“I cannot tell you how many veterans I’ve had to intervene for, go to bat for, cut the red tape for, who were being denied what was rightfully theirs”
Yeah, I bet she can’t tell us because she is a LIAR!. Hillary would climb a tree to tell a lie. She is the “anti-christ”.
I agree!
I'd believe it when I saw it, but I pray she never gets the chance!!!!
But is her word any good?
Just another snowflake in the Blizzard of Lies !
Hillary) Clinton pledges support to veterans...
vote for me....I promise to spend money on everyhting!!
and will break the promise as soon as in the White House!!!!
Didn’t one of the Clintons “Loathe” the military? Or was it both of them? Oh, and which one treated the military staff at the WH so poorly?
Its a good thing she’s not pinochio. She’d be dragging around a giant redwood by now.
Its a good thing shes not pinochio. Shed be dragging around a giant redwood by now....
don’t know about the piaps dragging around a redwood with huma, etc....but bj always seems to have his woody ready!!!!
Read Buzz Patterson’s “Dereliction of Duty” and you’ll see just how much disdain they both have for the military.
No one despises the American military more than Hillary Clinton. Always has, always will. She disgusts me.
Screw the lying bitch. I remember how the service people in the white house were treated when he and the pervert were in it. I have a long memory for things like that.
Like the Freeper said “Screw the lying bitch.” No two people in American history have run quality leaders out of the United States military than the Hildebeast and her husband. In the book “Dereliction of Duty” the author recounts how Hillary and Bill had military officers serving hors d’oeuvres in the White House to their liberal dope smoking buddies.
