Waited to type something but Everyone on this thread has done excellent and am nearly without words to express my disgust for the zer0care administration and his media menions. Am saddened though, like all here, in that evil won another one against our Military Women and Men and so many died waiting.

It's because the dems, libs, don't care. Vets historically are not a dem or lib voting bloc so they are treated as such.

We're supposed to be a government for the people, by the people but it has evolved in the last 100 years, to a government for the voting blocs of dems, libs, for the voting blocs of dems, libs. Everyone else be damned.

You are welcome. Those numbers make all the more sickening, reprehensible, and criminal what the VA has done to vets. This puts the lie to the excuses that (as one example) the situation where vets had to have 3 bloody stool samples before they could get a colonoscopy (which resulted in some getting to stage 4 inoperable cancer) was due to “cost cutting”. The “cost cutting” was not lack of funds but so the administrators could get their bonuses .... as was the finagling of wait times. Charges should be brought for criminal negligence at a minimum - homicide for those who died as a result of this.

The new Dim talking point will be that Obama acted decisively and fixed the VA and we need to move on...

“Cited lack of $$$...but we all KNOW that VA spending has increased over the years...”

And a carryover surplus of between 500 million to 1 billion dollars each of the last 5 years. This so called man knows nothing but lying.

My full agreement CGato. So many shots have been taken at our Veterans, for decades, by politicians and currently the shots taken have become death warrants placed upon so many of our Veterans by politicians primarily as your post names them (dems and libs). Saddens me to no end. Once upon a time, I and mine lived in a Nation that Loved our Veterans and did what was right and proper, now I and mine live in a Nation that gives bonuses to those making our Veterans wait for life saving measures and causing many of our Veterans death. Saddens me to no end.

It makes me so sick. Illegal aliens and Gitmo prisoners get Cadillac Care compared to our brave and precious veterans who have been allowed to DIE.

ya, cancer of inequality, sheesh.........

Bill and Hillary have raked in over $100 million since Bill left office. I love it when these liberals in the allegedly evil 1% lecture us about income inequality. (sarcasm)

I want to have a debate about inequality. Specifically, what is bad about inequality? Shouldn’t skilled people who needed experience and training to get those skills, be paid more than hired help at fast food places? Don’t skilled employees contribute more to their employers than random hired help, and thus earn the higher pay they get paid?

10 to 1 says he either replaces him with a retired BLACK general, or a female, who will of course be asian or black. The head of the VA is one of those gubment jobs that under Obummer will always be a minority hire. And if the liberals favorite disabled vet by the name of Tammy Duckworth wants to resign from her Congressional seat it will be her. She’s the best of all worlds, female, disabled, half-asian, and of course an Obummer stooge. That she has no experience at all in health care matters not. You see the Kenyan never uses experience in the field when picking someone for high paying gubment jobs. He knows he had no qualifications for president and was still elected, not once but twice, so he picks his minority buddies for top level jobs, experience be damned.

Forget about the girlfield, how about Petraeus? Oh, I forgot, he’s not female or black. But since he’ll be Hilly Clinton’s VP pick, ‘WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE”!!

He'll probably stick some Republican hack in there now, so the GOP backs off and the press will praise his bipartisan efforts.

What go-along-to-get-along types are available to sit in the seat and do nothing important? Pataki? Tom Kean? Colin Powell?

“Scapegoat found, problem solved.”

NOT.

Arrests, murder charges, obstruction of justice, etc.

You pegged it, Duckyworthless was head of something to do with the VA here in IL.

I detest the woman, I will have to go read and recall what her role was with the VA, but I do know it was fraud with complaints and if I recall correctly, she was in some kind of trouble with it. Damn

The greatest liar in the world, mac daddy, would have done more to correct this mess but he only found out about it in the news paper.

Time to move on to more important problems like his planning for golf outings, parties, tax payer vacations, visits to the bath house and the ever present phony photo-ops.
