By Bush’s way of thinking, each and every suicide is another freeloader that won’t weigh down the system sucking medical care for the rest of their lives. They have performed their service, they can be discarded like another empty bottle of Jack Daniels.

Broadheads for Bush.

Top management at VA are almost always political appointees. Yet the VA, like other federal agencies, posts most of their job offerings so that only people in the agency can apply.

Top management at VA are trying to pretend they can do the job they are supposed to do (which is increasingly impossible) with reduced funding.

Top management at VA are pretending that the “war on terror” is not taking a super-heavy toll on the members of the military who are actually struggling to hold their own as an occupying force in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The fault lies at the very top — the Bush administration.

specialist f – that’s a powerful song indeed. Too bad its pearl of a message is lost on the swine.

Yea hold your breath. Two Dems calling for the resignation of someone working for Bush.

Wait for that, I’m going home.

The same question should be posed to the White House and all of their cronies.

Sam Stone came home,
To his wife and family
After serving in the conflict overseas.
And the time that he served,
Had shattered all his nerves,
And left a little shrapnel in his knee.
But the morphine eased the pain,
And the grass grew round his brain,
And gave him all the confidence he lacked,
With a Purple Heart and a monkey on his back.

Chorus:
There’s a hole in daddy’s arm where all the money goes,
Jesus Christ died for nothin’ I suppose.
Little pitchers have big ears,
Don’t stop to count the years,
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios.
Mmm….

Sam Stone’s welcome home
Didn’t last too long.
He went to work when he’d spent his last dime
And Sammy took to stealing
When he got that empty feeling
For a hundred dollar habit without overtime.
And the gold rolled through his veins
Like a thousand railroad trains,
And eased his mind in the hours that he chose,
While the kids ran around wearin’ other peoples’ clothes…

Repeat Chorus:

Sam Stone was alone
When he popped his last balloon
Climbing walls while sitting in a chair
Well, he played his last request
While the room smelled just like death
With an overdose hovering in the air
But life had lost its fun
And there was nothing to be done
But trade his house that he bought on the G. I. Bill
For a flag draped casket on a local heroes’ hill.

Repeat Chorus

AND, the Democrats should drive this issue hard. They should take it to the media and make an issue out of it, not stand by and wait for the media to do it for them.

it’s a betrayal of our veterans and a slap in their face. Let’s hear some outrage, Democrats! !! Do you have it in you?

Oh,I forgot, Pelosi is “Table Phobic”…..

I’m glad that Akaka & Murray want the whole truth and nothing but the truth. They are not going to be able to help fix the problems in the VA without the facts. Hopefully, they can start saving the lives of these brave and lost veterans. Give them back hope and the proper care they so richly deserve.

Not. Gonna. Happen.

This d-bag should be permanently stripped of any and all medical licenses he possesses and be asked repeatedly if he was told to lie and hide those stats and by whom ……….
