Every political news show and the Sunday morning shows make me want to vomit.
The ever so sincere and massive effort underway to BLAME someone as fast as possible rather than pass the VA Benefits Expansion Act filibustered by Republicans and Mitch McConnell, in person, on February 26, 2014 because.......Bengazhi!.......correction, Iran!,.....is criminal negligence.
The carefully crafted and widely supported legislation is sitting in every Senators file drawer.
Harry Reid has got to reintroduce the legislation, like yesterday. A political grand slam is at his fingertips.
Double dare to Republicans and candidate McConnell of the heated Kentucky Senate race to block it again.

(1,092 posts)I will wait and see if THIS bill is offered again before I look at what is in it. Just doing time management.

I don't know much about gun bill or immigration bills this decade either.
-
I figured they wouldn't pass, so why spend time on them.
-
I might look more at the Farm bill that passed. It was more of a fiasco imo this year, and same old trough feeders.
-
It was delayed months I think.. then swoosh..done.
