GOP Abandons Injured/Disabled Vets
I was reading Representative Louise Slaughter's blog entry on the GOP efforts to cut funding for the VA and it just made me mad. Why kind of animal makes up the Republican party? First I will happily disclose that I'm a son of a veteran, who gets his medical care covered by the VA. I think you'd be hard pressed to find even anti-War protesters that would begrudge these past generations of soldiers the access to critical medical care, but such notions are completely alien to the Neo-Conservative Republicans these days. They would rather put soldiers in body bags than to care for them after the war is over. They want a massive standing army, but they don't want to pay for the long term costs of maintaining it. It's just completely foolish to abandon these soldiers who fought bravely for their country, because you are only concerned about the wars you are fighting today. It's a plain disgrace. If you live in the districts represented by one of these brain-dead morons you should give them a call an tell them to protect our veterans.
