According to the Daily Caller<\/a>, Germaine Clarno, a federal employee union president, and, of course, a Democrat, in Illinois regrets that she didn’t go to Senator Mark Kirk with her concerns about how vets were being treated because she didn’t want to talk to any Republicans.<\/p>\n

Clarno\u2019s tale of haunting regret is at least the second case of people connected with VA unions admitting they did not speak up about life-and-death issues because the idea of talking to a Republican was too distasteful.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Clarno also admits that number of veterans had died waiting for treatment, while she tried to talk to Democrat politicians who didn’t seem interested. Including our old friend, Tammy Duckworth;<\/p>\n

The two women then went to Rep. Tammy Duckworth, a disabled veteran Democrat who also represents the area and was an official at VA before being elected to Congress, but since was a new lawmaker without leadership roles on any committees, she did not help. Clarno and Nee said Duckworth wouldn\u2019t even read a report about the situation at Hines.

\u201cIt was really upsetting. This isn\u2019t about, you know, whether you have a D or an R at the end of your name. This is about the VA, this is about protecting the men and women who fought for our country,\u201d Clarno said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m pretty sure that Ryan Zinke nor Duncan Hunter let their junior status impede their work for veterans and the active force, but then we’re talking about Duckworth, aren’t we? She got her’s, so the rest of you can wait. Duckworth was in the VA and didn’t do anything for veterans, so let’s send her to the Senate now. I’m constantly told that the treatment of veterans isn’t a Democrat or Republican issue, but, it looks like I’m not the only one who thinks it is, am I?<\/p>\n
