It is an idea that my wife thought up 25 years ago when her dad (WWII vet) was receiving awful care from the VA hospital. Instead of having crappy VA hospitals, allow veterans without insurance to get care under their VA benefits at their own doctor. To make sure that it doesn’t become another Medicaid-like program, allow ONLY veterans who are unemployed or cannot get insurance through their employers to use it.

I was there this AM. No phoniness about her. Her concern is genuine. For the cynics, why would she fake it with so much to lose? She gave each of us veterans the stage to say why we supported her. I said that the last time I was this engaged in a political campaign was for Ronald Reagan and I expect the same result for my efforts.

Ran into a heckler before the press conference who started yelling at me about Joe Miller wanting to privatize VA. Truthfully, I didn’t have the foggiest idea of what he was talking about, and said so. Well, that really set him off. I calmly asked him if politics has forced us into yelling at each other. His answer was anemphatic, hate-filled YES.

Knowing a lost cause and with more important things to do, I decided to ignore the temptation. I suppose it was too much to ask him to take his head out of his seat and listen.

First time I have come face-to-face with the enemy. Time to lock and load, figuratively.
