Republicans hate Veterans.

Why is this message not blasted on every TV station in America?

You want to win the elections? You want to take back the house and keep the senate? Hire Don fucking Draper. Bring in an advertising genius, and get to work on the ads that would kill the Republican party's chances to win a single seat.

http://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2014/02/27/senate-heads-toward-showdown-vote-on-veterans-bill

"A divided Senate on Thursday derailed Democratic legislation that would have provided $21 billion for medical, education and job-training benefits for the nation's veterans. The bill fell victim to election-year disputes over spending and fresh penalties against Iran."

Yeah, because sanctions against Iran have everything to do with taking care of the guys who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I kept hearing Republicans whining about how the bill isn't paid for. WTF? You sent people to war on a borrowed budget now you can't borrow money to take care of them?

This is beyond sickening. It's disgusting and if the Democrats don't start taking the Republicans to task for this shit then they deserve to lose.

I'm not talking about going on some talk shows and telling the already informed people about what the Republicans did. I'm talking about a serious ad campaign, Plop Plop Fizz Fizz, burn that shit into the minds of the American Public, and keep burning it in until they are sick of hearing it.

Of course I could just be overly pissed off about the whole thing
