Why aren't Obama and other democratic leaders all over the press lambasting republicans for their constant refusal to help veterans?

No wonder vets get such poor treatment: one party doesn't care about them and the other party is too timid to call them out on it.

Rash Limpbutt tells them so. Yecch.

Not only does the puke party not care about them, but they're just one more group to lie to, get their support, then kick in the teeth. But blame PBO and dems.

Definition of evil, purposefully lying, using and destroying people for your own ends, while pinning it on someone else.

Democrats controlled congress and the White House. GOP'ers are bad, but Democrats are not blameless. They knew in 2007 about the huge problems at the VA.

The Senate was controlled by conservative Democrats with gigantic egos (such as Lieberman).

Getting the votes to pass the ACA and the stimulus bill was difficult. Doubling spending on the VA without savage cuts elsewhere was not going to pass after those two.

So should we have let the economy get even worse or abandoned healthcare reform for another generation?
