The U.S. House of Representatives voted 326-90 on Tuesday to prevent a reduction in cost of living increases in pensions for military retirees under age 62.

Too late. That horse has left the barn. I personally know several people who normally tune out politics but heard about the GOP cutting vet pay. The GOP can never walk back the stupidly of Ryan-Murray. Idiots.

It does not really matter. He has caused himself to be labeled a liar with no creditability left so his voting is meaningless.

Your not much on subtle sarcasm tinged with irony are ya?

All the drama for nothing. I knew it. I said it the minute that they passed it that they would never let this happen. Man I should become a political analysis because I am pretty dang good at this type of thing.

Time for a true second party. There is no difference between the current two fiscally.

My rep, Mike Kelley, PA3, will now try to trumpet how he voted to restore the pensions of the retirees. You will never hear him admit that he voted to cut them in the first place.

A true quisling, this buddy of SteveLaTourette, Republican Main Street, will once again aattempt to pull the wool over the eyes of the voters of the district, and claim the mantle of the Tea Party.

I think it is going to be a long summer.
