On Wednesday, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives easily passed the Veterans Affairs Management Accountability Act (H.R. 4031) -- a new bill making its way through the federal legislature that would bring more accountability to the VA. The bill earned strong bipartisan support (390/33) with only Democrats voting against it. However, when Republicans tried to bring it up for a vote on the Senate floor, socialist Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT) objected on the grounds that although the bill had many “important provisions,” Senate Democrats needed more time to debate the merits of the legislation. They have therefore scheduled a hearing to discuss the bill sometime in early June. Apparently cleaning up corruption at the VA can wait.

And he wonders why we want him removed as Speaker...
A Twit.
I’m shocked Boehner is still House majority leader. :-)
I’m schicker Boehner got re-nominated. I hoped the GOP Congress picks another speaker next year.
The man is an idiot.
I’m shocked that Lerner isn’t in jail, seeing how Boehner himself wanted to know who is going to jail.
Either stupid or a liar. Actually, Bonehead, you’re both.
Did you think the dems really cared about the vets?
Is this something out of nothing? Did the House expect the Senate to vote on the bill on day 1 without anyone reading it? “On Wednesday, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives easily passed the Veterans Affairs Management Accountability Act (H.R. 4031) — a new bill making its way through the federal legislature that would bring more accountability to the VA.

Early Jnne could be next week.
If America “had a dream” to live prosperous and free,
Then the dream must killed, and consumed you see.
The Obamavultures continue feasting, while Boehner sits still,
“Both” parties know our pain as required collateral damage to fulfill.
What word did our Doormat Republicans not understand,
When Obama was first crowned The Tyrant of the Land?
Was it “Fundamentally” or “Transform” or “The United States of America?”
Why are these confused Leader Doormat Republicans still kept in power?
Why haven’t our TEA Party House Members sent Boehner to the back bench?
What does it take be it Benghazi, NSA, IRS, DOJ, or Delay to Death of our Vets?
Who are the Patriot House Members of “both” Parties to vote out Boehner?
When do We, the People rise up and declare that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!?
When do our elected House Members stand and deliver?
When does the well-deserved Impeachment of Obama begin?
When do our House Constitutional Checks and Balances kick in?
Back in DC, things are as calm as can be,
Obama lies, frames, blames, denies and delays,
Allowing the Obamavultures to feast as before,
While Boehner, Cantor, McCarthy, Ryan, and Issa,
Hold open the race to the bottom door - - - -.
It is time, - - - - time a change in 2014.
Yeah, right!
They didn't need "more time" to debate Obammycare, and this is a much simpler bill, besides Ol' Nan said we had to pass it to find out what's in it. So why not do the same with this bill?
What's wrong? Dems don't care for our wounded veterans?
Really? Shocked? I am sure Boehner is elated... Just like Dempsey: message to our former military: “shut up and die”.
Boehner is every bit part of the problem here.

“If you want to get out of the military and run for office, I’m all for it. But don’t get out of the military … and become a political figure by throwing your support behind a particular candidate. If somebody asks me when I retire to support them in a political campaign, do you think they’re asking Marty Dempsey or are they asking Gen. Dempsey? I am a general for life and I should remain true to our professional ethos, which is to be apolitical for life; unless I run.”
Another feminine idiot in power who aims the military guns at domestic target instead of the real problems of Islam, a China and Russia. I am sick of these political gun pay check warmongering traitors.
How many Senate bills are actually read by Senators now? (cf. "Obamacare") It would seem only those bills that do not advance the progressive cause must be read beforehand.
Well, there is precedent ...
which is worse in politicalese, being “shocked” or “chagrined”? /sarc
Pelosi told him to say that. Being ignorantly surprised works for democrats all the time.
Boehner: I’m “Shocked” Senate Democrats Blocked a Bill to “Hold VA Managers Accountable”
It’s time Boehner got his head out of his a—!
Well at least he isnt saddened. Like little Tommy Dashole..
He’s also shocked by the pink elephants in his bedroom, but what else is new?
Republicans should say this whenever they are in front of rolling cameras.
Why not point our that the LAST thing democrats want is ACCOUNTABILITY...?
