And then think about Burr's record regarding Veteran's bills. I'll lay it out for you.
| S AMDT 2634 | Additional Funding For Veterans Amendment | Motion Rejected - Senate (43 - 55) |
Nay |
| S AMDT 1937 | Health Care for Veterans Amendment | Motion Rejected - Senate (48 - 51) |
Nay |
| HR 3082 | Continuing Appropriations | Concurrence Vote Passed - Senate (79 - 16) |
Nay
|
Just one of the many hypocrit politicians who are up in arms about Veteran's healthcare who have time and time again voted against caring for our Vets, no doubt sporting a "Support our Troops" bumper sticker.

He is making no friends with our Veterans. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]People are very angry.
âSenator, this is clearly one of the most dishonorable and grossly inappropriate acts that weâve witnessed in more than forty years of involvement with the veteran community and breaches the standards of the United States Senate. Your allegations are ugly and mean-spirited in every sense of the words and are profoundly wrong, both logically and morally. Quite frankly Senator, you should be ashamed,â Thien and Hamilton wrote.
...
Paralyzed Veterans of America National President Bill Lawson and Executive Director Homer Townsend Jr. wrote that Burr represents âthe worst of politics in this country.â
...
âYour attitude and actions reflects great discredit upon the United States Senate and every member of Congress should be embarrassed by your âopenâ letter. Only a politician would be so bold as to believe he or she knows better what veterans want and need than actual veterans themselves. You clearly represent the worst of politics in this country,â they wrote.
And the Disabled American Veterans wrote that it is clear Burr would rather have heard them call for Shinseki to resign than to hear how to actually fix the VA.

Poor Alec just keeps bumbling, stumbling, and tumbling. You could feel sorry for such a hapless soul, except that this isn't a person, but the soulless ALEC – the American Legislative Exchange Council. This secretive corporate front is behind hundreds of regressive and repressive bills that're being pushed through Republican-controlled state legislatures. Its bills and tactics are so venomous that 35 of ALEC's brand-name corporate funders – from Amazon to Walmart &n ...

The new Maine Governor, Paul LePage is making New Jersey 's Chris Christie look timid. He isn't afraid to say what he thinks.

Why Did Trump Meet With The RNC Today?Mar 31, 2016
After all, didn't he say he's being treated unfairly by them over and over and over and over 100s of times? Did he go to raise heck, stomp his feet in protest, threaten to run 3rd party again, or just plain threaten.... I don't trust him as far as I can throw him. Plus the rest of the world finds him ridiculous and a clown, so we're going from "the Messiah" to Ronald McDonald. ...
Ben Carson On Meet The PressAug 03, 2015
So, I am extremely liberal--by this venue's standards anyway. I was at a gathering of friends yesterday, and, yes, most of us are pretty liberal, there are a few strays, and we had a few jabs back and forth, but the point. I was told by one of my friends that I should watch Carson on Meet the Press...it was outrageous, funny, (all the other side political jabbing, you know how it goes, most of you do it with Hilary). I just had time to do it. This is the most reasonable I have seen th ...

Meet The Terrorist Behind The Next Women's March.Feb 26, 2017
bringing down President Trump: another women’s march. Which means another public instance of Trump haters shouting slogans to one another and mistaking it for constructive politics. What progressives need to defeat Trump is outreach, but all they have is outrage. On March 8, organizers seem to be aiming for a different vibe than the librarians-in-pussy-hats element that made the first women’s march after Trump’s inauguration so adorable. Instead of milling around Washington, organi ...

I Can't Believe I Agreed With Hillary On Meet The Press!!!May 23, 2016
I read an article today and had seen part of Meet the Press this morning where Hillary said Trump should release his tax returns. She's not the only one saying this and I can't believe I agree with her on that subject!!! Cokie and Steve Roberts also had a good article on Trump and his taxes in the local paper today. What gets me is the Trumpeters think it's okay for Trump to hide his taxes and it's okay that he's part of the 1% group, but in 2012 they were all ...

Moderate Republican Colin Powell Chooses Sunday's Meet The PressJan 14, 2013
and the use of transparent "code word" insults they'd be really disappointed if we all didn't understand. Contrary to how some in the GOP like to style him, General Powell is a conservative, but despite all the honors and respect he has earned he has the usual non-white conservative's problem with acceptance by today's GOP. He's not leaving, though. Like most of us, he understands that the GOP must change if it is to survive as a major voice in American politics. This ...
This Is Why Palin Wrote On Her PalmFeb 11, 2010

She is dancing to the tune of those 'whut brung her.' From an earlier post: For Palin defenders: At ...
