RE: VA Scandal Rocks Obama Administration

The real question is, of the people who died while waiting for appointments, how many of them should have actually been in the VA system? It's one thing if they were all suffering from war injuries. It's an entirely different thing if they had normal everyday acute terminal conditions.
If any of them had normal everyday acute terminal conditions they should have been using Medicaid, Medicare, a Medicare Advantage Plan, or the emergency room at the local hospital.
But if any of them were suffering from a war injury as their primary condition then the people who blocked them from getting their needed medical care should be thrown into prison for at least 30 years.
In the meantime the Repubs and TPs should stop whining about having to pay taxes to support the system. They are simply full of crap.

I support neither Democrats nor Republicans. However, no matter what wrongs the Democrats may do cannot compare to the gross negligence of the people that the Republicans support, and for that reason alone I would support Democrats over Republicans if my vote somehow miraculously meant something.

I don't think so.

I don't think so.
No. I just call out your deflection to Bush everytime a scandal arises that could potentially harm the democrats....and talk about gall, it takes even more gall for some of you guys to come on the forums and exploit teen and child victims of gun violence just to push your anti-second amendment agenda. Then you guys launch into rants about gun owning racist red neck white guys. Yeah, you're one to talk about cheap ploys. So you're saying that there's been no corruption and no gross mismanagement at the VA....and that this is something that we should just ignore?
I don't think so either.
