How about the story on the side bar of the page linked?

Gives some detailing on why some were against it.

That isn't fair to veterans from previous conflicts,” he said.

Vets from other conflicts already have programs in place. They could have amended it to include all veterans..

it's just another way to undermine the dems efforts to establish some unity in the partys if the repubs keep this profile there may be a conflict and it will be the next war here.

"However, Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., the majority leader, would not allow amendments, Coburn said."

Looks like my way or the highway attitude from Reed. Allowed amendments would have brought the issues up for debate to get party input and unity.

There's nothing wasteful about anything involving the care of veterans who've served their country. To assume the role of denying Vets for any reason is incongruous, unfair, careless, and senseless. How the (R) can spend so much money everywhere else i.e. Afghanistan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Bosnia, etc. etc. but find excuses NOT to spend any here on our own. Go figure.

There is also a secret message in this targeted directly at Colin Powell and his endorsement to the president. You've got to have the right eyes in order to see what's really going on here, four4me. The (R) are down right pissed now at Gov. Chris Christie and Mayor Bloomberg for their "sensible conduct". I have absolutely no sympathy for the females voting for Gov. Romney...they should know better. Obviously, they missed republicansagainstromney.com. He's been kicking women around for a very, very long time.

"I have absolutely no sympathy for the females voting for Gov. Romney..."

Whatsamatter Prickley, one of your hookers overcharge you again? LOL...
You, of all people to be talking about women's rights...
What a hypocrite you are.
How much do they charge you to to have anything to do with you, btw?

Thanks for including the part 4fourme conveniently left out, JAP.
Totally different story when it's all there instead of just one side.

@4fourme,
Mitt's never been in the military and neither has Obama, so what's the point?
At least Mitt hasn't presided over and supported the deaths of millions of babies like Hussein has, right?
Is that why you like him? The dead babies?
Or do you want to marry your boyfriend?

Four4me said:
oh and while were here neither Mitt nor any of his 5 son's ever served in the military.

The first rule of becoming ultra rich is just to think of yourself, no guilt, no compassion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first part- Obama doesn't even know how to salute, wasn't in the Military either.

The second part- You've pretty much described what obama has done in 4 years..

@rdgrnr,
Well I'll be ed!! If it isn't old Dumba** Foghorn Earhorn!!!! Whatsamatter, Foggie? Are you jealous because....I SAY, are you jealous because I've got tons more pu**y than you'll EVER GET??? You're really just an old dumbf*ck, you know that? You pick and choose what you wanna fu*ck with and run from the rest!! Not me. Tell you what, let's see what you think about our Special Forces and what they did in Colombia recently. Remember that? They were havin' a REAL GOOD time with some hookers, so, let's see just how hard you can come down on them, too.

Oh, and we don't know if they were (D) or (R) which should make your comments just the more interesting. C'mon, you old stale f*ucker...I know you can do it. You want a pissin' match with me? I'm ready to give you one, too. Both you and Mitt Romney are lower than a f*ckin' midget on its' knees AND DUCKING at the same dam* time!

You and Mitt believe that if a woman leaves her job and get's raped while on her way to her car, or, in her car, that she must therefore KEEP the child because y'all dumb f*ckers are so PRO-LIFE! You wanna strip the CHOICE of her deciding to TERMINATE an UNWANTED PREAGNANCY and HOPE that it SELF-TERMINATES! This is what Todd Aikin meant by "the body has a way of shutting it down". All of you people are dumb, self fulfilling idiots when it comes to women! Then, you try to have the nerve of being so "pro-women" by pretending to be so polite with the ladies here at LP. You sorry old f*ucker! What else you got for me...you dumba**???

Preagnancy? What's that, numbnuts?
And you apparently don't know the difference between Special Forces and Secret Service either do you, Prickley? You embarrass yourself trying to address issues you know absolutely nothing about.
You can't run and read the newspaper real fast and come here and try to talk to us like you know something you dumbass bitch cuz we'll call your dumb ass out on it.
You better stick with paying women to touch your fat ugly ass and leave politics to people who know it and understand it, son. You can't fake it like you do everything else you long-winded gas-bag.
You're just a clown around here, a joke, nobody takes you seriously.
And the good part?
You know it.
Heh,heh,heh,heh,heh...
Now shine my boots and run along, boy.

again, @rdgrnr's dumba**,

I see Special Forces on sofrep.com. Not sure WTF you're smokin' along with that cheap a** tobacco, but you might wanna check your supplier. You've gotta do better than this 'cause it doesn't phase me a bit. There's nothing fake about me...at all. Know what? I actually take a lot of pride in being THE s**t around here because FLIES ALWAYS FIND THE s**t AND WANNA BE ALL OVER IT!

Your goal, every single day, is to find someone to contend with...politically. I can tell that you sincerely prefer me, and, I know why. Well, I'll oblige your old d*umb a** every chance I can get 'cause it feels real good havin' your gums to massage my ANACONDA! When the timing is just right, I spit that VENOM on your old FOGHORN A**!!

How illiterate can one person be? Just because I don't sit at my notebook, ALL f***IN' DAY LIKE YOU, waiting for all the latest political developments to come down makes me uninformed, eh? This is your WHOLE PATHETIC LIFE...EVERYDAY!! You look for ANTI-OBAMA/ANTI-DEMOCRAT sh*t all day long. Guess what? There's plenty of Romney/Ryan sh*t out there, too, but you're not postin' that, ARE YOU? When Mayor Bloomberg announced his endorsement for Obama, he basically NUTTED DOWN YOUR THROAT AND WALKED AWAY!!

Right now, Gov. Christie is gettin' ready to empty his balls in you, too, just like so many other (R) are but are keeping quiet while still playing along. You're not a true conservative, you're an erratic extremist who can't even swallow a whole load without f****n choking! Stop spittin' it out...it's meant to be swallowed!!

@Lonely Loser,
Wow, I bet you talk to your hookers like that too, don'tcha tough guy?
And it makes no difference to you that there are ladies here reading your foul-mouthed, vulgar filth.
I've seen a few guys from here go to the land of no avatar for a lot less filth than that.
I won't get down in the gutter with you here though... But in person? If you ran your foul mouth like that to me in person? I'd kick your friggin' teeth in, pal. Believe that.

@rdgrnr, again,

You clearly have an obsession with hookers for some reason or another. First of all, I never initiated this conversation...you simply attacked me AS USUAL and I'm gonna defend myself. If ANYONE should go, it should be YOU FOR ALWAYS ATTACKING ME EVERY CHANCE YOU GET. I keep up with all my posts, and, every time I've had to go rounds with you, YOU'VE ATTACKED ME EVERY SINGLE TIME. Have a look for your d*mn self, buddy!

Furthermore, I've ALWAYS BEEN TALKIN' TO SOMEONE ELSE, AND, WITH SOME SENSE AT THAT. You come after me. Just because you're all "PLATINUM-ED UP" doesn't mean you get to attack my decent, reasonable, and NON-AGGRESSIVE conversations with other members. I have never attacked you...it's always in defense. However, I've never ran to Todd crying about it, and don't ever plan to, 'cause I'm a big boy and I can handle myself. Soldiers don't cry, THEY FIGHT LIKE MEN!!!

By the way, filth can be interpreted in many ways...such as referring to anyone that supports, endorses, or votes for Obama as an INSUFFERABLE MORON. You're so weak that you can't even read a personal opinion on politics without responding, AND ATTACKING, the person who wrote it. When I do stop in, I read tons of anti-Obama links and posts and often never respond. It's a matter of choice, respect, and self-control. You lose control and choose to attack me along with many others here without warrant.

My initial post to this thread NEVER MENTIONED YOUR'S, OR, ANYONE ELSE'S NAME AT LP IN A NEGATIVE WAY. I was talkin' to four4me...to whom this blog belongs to. Just like Romney, again, you're WRECKLESS AND ALL OVER THE MAP...chasing me for no reason. Try again.

Apologize to Emily and sully and TigerAngel and all the other ladies who read this blog and don't deserve to have to put up with your unspeakable filth and perversion.
Do it now.

Hell, I shouldn't have to put up with you calling me an insufferable moron, or, a parasite by sully! I never asked for, or deserved that! In fact, both of you attacked me with all the name calling! Just who the hell do you think you are dealing with? Some dumba** pushover? Man, you'd better try to get yourself some business...and her too!

If any deserves an apology, IT'S ME! Both of you started this whole deal...am I wrong? I have the whole transcript in front of me. Man, you are a piece of work! Call me all kinds of names and want me to apologize for defending myself? Yeah, that's a true extremist.

I said APOLOGIZE TO THE LADIES!
DO IT NOW!

You're pretty funny, ridge. As soon as I get mine, y'all will get one, too. I was insulted first, buddy...nothin' will change that. Yeah, that's foreign language to both of you. Apologize to a (D) after insulting him. Picture that! So, I guess this is where the original idea of being SUPERIOR comes in for you?

Actually, you owe four4me an apology for even starting this in his blog. Remember, you came after me in his blog? Yeah, that sounds right. Wow! You're on someone else's playground trying to call the shots! This is hilarious!!!

So you're gonna let the ladies read that filth you wrote and not have a care in the world about it or apologize, right numbnuts?
That's how you talk in front of women?
I guess they raise 'em different in Texas.
I was raised to have respect for women and to defend women.
But I can see you're one of them guys who has no respect for 'em and likes to push 'em around.
Makes you feel tough.
I hope you do get bounced.

Ain't no ladies reading anything I post. I'm a (D) remember? They hate (D)...don't wanna have nothin' to do with 'em so stop tryin' to bullsh*t me. If they read it, it's because you'll invite them to. At the end of the day, though, it never would've happened had you simply NOT ATTACKED ME with the same old HOOKERS PROPOSITIONS, or, just attacking me for general purpose. Just because of my political preference. Now, that's insulting to a lady.

You still don't get it, do you? You simply hate me without any justifiable reasoning. The second you saw I supported (D), you bomb rushed me. I didn't post for a while but, when I did come back to post here in this blog, you keyed in on me all over again...for no reason. But, I'm the one in the wrong??? You really, really do need some help ridge,

You got no pride and you can't be shamed.
You left your legacy up there on number 11 post and ain't ashamed of it in the least. Wow.
Tough guy with women - typical Democrat.
I just deleted most of what I wrote.
Never mind, I'm tired and I'm goin' to bed - with my wife.
Ramble on to your heart's content.

@Lucky Loser , don't feel bad. rdgrnr did the same thing to me. He and his cronies search the threads for people whose opinion is different than theirs and attack them. If you notice it is always the same idiots. They have no respect for other people's thread or themselves. All they do is spew racists rants in the guise of patriots. If anyone needs to apologize, it is that stupid old fart rdgrnr.

Geez would you two democrats like some cheese with your whine?

Oh, by the way if you're going to post a story in your blog, at least be courteous enough to post both sides so we can get an Idea what is truth and what is fiction.
                                                                                                                 Thanks.

MADDOG10, you are not the blog police. You don't have the authority or right to tell someone how to write or what to write in their blog. You don't have the background or expertise to offer your very limited advice dude.

BTW, I am neither democrat nor republican, I'm independent. So no party or demagogue can tell me how to vote. Plain and simple!

@lilspanky,
I'm an Independent too.
But the difference between us is you're with the evil one and nitwits like Lonely Loser standing on a mountain of over 50 million dead babies, shaking your fist at God and advocating for the return of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Do you know why God destroyed Sodom and all the Sodomites? I'm sure you do.
And now you stand here beckoning for the return of Sodomy to acceptance. Even to allow them to blaspheme and fornicate the Holy Sacrament of Matrimony.
Do you think it's a coincidence that what we're witnessing today was all written long ago?
Do you think you'll be held blameless for standing shoulder to shoulder with evil?
I won't judge you.
You judge yourself.

Interesting......what is this blog about? oh yeah, the GOP senators blocked the Veteran Jobs Bill. Yes, they blocked that bill and many others too. Good blog post 4fourme.

rdgrnr, that same God will judge racists and bigots. Got you worried now, huh!

Who the frig died and left you in charge half witted professor?
When I replied to the blog it wasn't your blog I was replying to. It happened to be four4me I was replying, so put your nose back on your face and move on smedley..
And when I replied I said , If you're going to post at least be courteous enough, So mind your own Frigging business until they let you out of your cage smedley.
Oh, nobody is going to tell you how to vote, wow, who cares how you vote, I'm sure nobody on this blog cares or gives two Sh**ts what you do.
If four4me has got something to say about what I wrote in his blog, he can say it to me, he doesn't need a half used music teacher to speak for him, So go drum that to someone else smedley.
If you've got a beef with me smedley be man enough to take it up with me, instead of hiding behind someone's skirt, Wuss...!
And I've got the background and expertise to know what I'm doing. It's evident, that you don't. Your expertise is that of lack of common sense and the ability NOT to mind your own business..

You're right lilspanky, God does judge racists and bigots and I'm not the least bit worried about it.
He looks inside our hearts and I know what's in my heart and on my soul.
And it's not racism or bigotry or hate or the blood of innocent babies.

MADDOG10 and rdgrnr, keep lying to yourselves. You two don't have anything better to do than search threads looking for a fight with someone. rdgrnr, you bite off more than you could chew when you bothered Lucky Loser for no apparent reason. He got you good. Now there are two people that will not take any crap from you deadbeats. BTW MADDOG10, I taught algebra, which is far too advanced for either one of you morons.

four4me, I apologize for using your thread for nonsense.
MADDOG10 and rdgrnr search the threads to pick fights, then take over the thread with nonsense. Both are just two lonely old men with two much time on their hands. I will not use your thread to respond to anything else they might say.

Correction "too much time"

The only deadbeats we have here are you smedly. You taught what? a moronic geek as you teaching algebra, OM isn't that the creme dela creme for such a thumbnailed ignoramous such as you smedly.
I would love to know the graduation ratio, verses the dropout ratio to those you taught. My guess is you lost more than you won.
More so like right here smedly, you know with that smug attitude and what you called your students. Geez did any other geek hang with you during your tenure smedly? Oh, thats right you were the manipulater in school as well as home right?. You know how you think you manipulated folks here smedly. How many have told you to mind your own business smedly, maybe with your manipulation of numbers you could come up with a percentile on that.....      You are Pathetic...!   

@lilspanky,
Lonely Loser "got me good?"
Heh,heh,heh,heh,heh...
That was rich...
You must be about as smart and discerning as he is.
Have you got a thing for hookers too?
Send him a PM, he invited me down for a roll with 'em all expenses paid and I politely declined.
It's probably right up your alley cuz it sounds like you two think alike.
If you like to use and slap women around you'll really get along good with him.

OK Mr. smedly here's an equasion for you to tell us.

1UDb
____    -1 R   +9 m = 1 O \/

1UDg

Since you taught for 31 years, you ought to be able to tell us what this equates fairly easy.

No need to apologize to me i figured it would get hijacked and turned to some kind of love hate thing but when Obama wins tomorrow i sure do hope i won't have to listen/read about them whining for another 4 years.

BTW i got my kidney stones removed today thanks to the VA hospital and to all the tax payers who also support the fact that this is basically free healthcare. You could call it Obama care since its basically the same thing free health care. And i had to beg the doctors to be gentle with me this time as they have a knack of just going at the job with reckless abandon, three weeks ago they had a go at trying to removing the stones and couldn't get them out so I've been losing about a shot glass of blood every time i urinated.

This time they spared me by giving me the good pain meds Oh Boy they got me HIGH HIGH HIGH to the point i thought i was tripping. So i wish to thank all the presidents past and present and the American people for creating the Veterans health care system.

Please stop all the name calling and act like adults your all to intelligent to keep going at it all the time. It's getting old and boring.

four4me, I hope you feel better. Politicians get packages that set them for life and most start the wars but don't fight in them, like Bush. Veterans deserve better. Get well.

four4me, get well soon.
