VoteVets creamed all over themselves<\/a> again in reference to the VA’s handling of the GI Bill fiasco. This time, their legislative director, Brian McGough, gets his chance to suck up at lightspeed;<\/p>\n

Today, the Department of Veterans Affairs again showed it is willing to quickly adapt and move to meet the needs of today’s veterans. By offering veterans waiting for their GI Bill benefits the chance to go online to get them sent on an expedited basis, the VA has made a tough situation for veterans a lot easier. This is the kind of quick action that has been missing from the agency for the past eight years, and gives us great hope for the future of veterans care under this administration. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Funny how that “past eight years” thing keeps slipping in there, huh? I doubt Brian or dicksmith could qualify that statement, though – it’s more just a knee-jerk spewing of a phrase than anything substantive.
\n
\nNever mind, really, that it’s the Shinseki Administration that couldn’t pay veterans on time in the first damn place. What has really changed in the past few weeks that the DVA “suddenly” gets an idea to fix the problem? Didn’t veterans complain enough before dicksmith talked to them on the phone? <\/p>\n

The folks at Warrior Legacy Foundation<\/a> were helping veterans get their education benefits for weeks before dicksmith sniveled on the phone. In fact, I watched Matt and Jimbo on last Thursday night getting a veteran’s information to help get the ed benefits straightened out – at the pub, on the street. How many had VoteVets actually helped?<\/p>\n

But the part at the bottom really gets me;<\/p>\n

VoteVets.org is the leading progressive, pro-military organization of veterans, dedicated to the destruction of terror networks around the world, with force when necessary. It primarily focuses on education and advocacy on issues of importance to the troops and veterans, and holding politicians accountable for their actions on these issues.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s all one big lie – as Blue Cyclone pointed out yesterday<\/a>, VoteVets’ membership is less than 5% veterans. They aren’t dedicated to the destruction of terror networks – especially by force. It doesn’t focus on education (except Jon Soltz spending all of his time in college to work on his doctorate in art appreciation) or veterans issues – they’re more worried about Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, Energy Policy and Labor Issues than anything that even remotely has to do with Veterans.<\/p>\n

The only politicians they hold accountable are Republican politicians. When is the last time you heard anyone at VoteVets condemn John Murtha? Dick Durbin? Never! But they get their panties in a wad when Rush Limbaugh calls Jesse MacBeth a phony soldier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
