When Buyer finished his one minute speech HUGE APPLAUSE!!
Waxman addressed Buyer "we allow veterans to keep their benefits but if they want to go to the exchange they can".
Then the speaker dressed down the republicans and told them to abide by the rules, all the GOP wanted was the answer "who was going to protect veterans!"
Pelosi said along with the leadership this would be addressed but alas last night his amendments were voted down in the rules committee. This is the most outrageous group of thugs that I have witnessed when it comes to the majority sitting as the gate keeper of laws of this fine country.
By the way MR WAXMAN I am so grateful you allow us to keep our benefits a right we earned serving this fine country.
Pelosi is possessed. That’s the only way to explain her. Get an exorcist, a good one, and be prepared for a fight.
I said years ago, that eventually, in the end, all we would have left is the retirement check. Now with the scum sucking pig in the White House, spending like a drunk muzzie terrorist, I doubt there will be money for that. So, enjoy old age, cause we ain’t gonna get a damned dime for the service we did.
The end game is to use taxes and regulation to force everyone onto the public "option".
I knew from the beginning that the military folks would be forced into this hell hole.
Pelosi is mentally ill.
In the event you are currently serving, know somebody who has served this is amazing and again with the way this is being pushed through nobody would know about it and this is why they are breaking their word and will not publish the final bill on the web for 72 hours.
If you get a chance pull up the C-SPAN video it is just amazing.
It’s bad. Take names and never forget.
No...Pelosi is EVIL.
My father-law is also retired Army, he has been going round and round with hearing aides, first set defective, then the second defective and it is now going on a year.
Oh the great military health care we have, and of course let’s not fix the military/veterans care let’s just increase the governments involvment and give it to everyone.
Thank you for your service.
Pelosi is an idiot...nothing more or less. You give her way to much credit.
When I called my local congress critter’s what they always said to me “it will not decrease our current care” so I guess they knew what they were fighting against and it is an uphill battle.
Healthcare opportunities for all folks oh yeah not our bravest to have choice. WOW
oathkeepers.org
But we’ll be able to send soldiers who fought in the illegal war to Muslim shrinks to “get their heads right.” :)
Oh, I know who has been naughty and nice, better terms for posting, and they will find pink slips next November. When I am certain my local congress critters are safe for reelection I going one state over to ensure that Skelton does not return and I am doing this for personal reason’s.
I HAVE JUST, ON ANOTHER THREAD, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2381078/posts WELCOMED HOME A YOUNG MARINE FRESHLY BACK FROM IRAQ. THIS IS WHAT HE COMES HOME TO? THERE IS A PLACE IN HELL FOR THESE !@^%#$@$#s.
I swear to heaven, hate is supposed to be a sin, but I just can’t help it.
Hating evil is not sin.
Oh, GOD!!! They announced that bam and his mate are going to attend the Memorial at Fort Hood. Somebody help me!!!
YES!!! I am hysterical!!!!!!!!!!!
How wonderful to weclome home our finest this way, FR, has always stepped up for our service member’s.
Having said that, when you see what the House is doing, when you listen to Rep Buyer and encourage that you do, and the response from the dem’s and the gallery you feel like saying &^%* and %^$%* and wanting to sling something into the TV, MestaMachine I understand your anger.
Yes, there is a thread, Obama will go to the memorial, while we do not support this Prez, they do attend events like this, Oklahoma bombing comes to mind.
My problem, Obama has used these events as a photo op so one just can’t believe he is going there for the grief and compassion of those at the installation.
Bush and his wife went yesterday, asked that it not be be covered by the press, that this was personal, and afterall they live about 30 miles from Ft. Hood.
