It's not that it's an invented conspiracy (though conservatives have a tremendous collective hard on for invented conspiracies). It's that it's one of those things, like the deficit, that conservatives only care about when they think it's going to score them points with voters.
It won't. People outside of the echo chamber understand that the same shit was going on throughout the last five GOP administrations. Remember Walter Reed Hospital?
That's not to say that this administration shouldn't be held responsible for not taking action. Absolutely, they should. But we have a lot of stone-throwers in glass houses, and it is totally and very obviously artificial outrage from the right when most of those stone-throwers are campaigning on the promise to deny health care (or take away the health care they now have) to millions of Americans (which include around 250,000 veterans). Who is going to be fooled into thinking that conservatives actually care about the health of veterans, other than the simpletons who already believe it?
