Secretary Shinseki MUST GO!!!! [View all]

I don't care who did what earlier, Secretary Shinseki must go. I am a veteran and I can think of no greater betrayal of all veterans sacrifice than what is going on in the VA now. This is a nightmare and someone in the government must pay. PBO needs to demand Secretary Shinseki resign immediately. I agree with Congressman David Scott and John Barrow of Georgia......It is time Mr President, please ask for this embarrassment to resign.

Generally speaking, 435 sitting members of Congress are wrong. MohRokTah May 2014 #9

yes, they are probably wrong, they certainly are wrong in their opposition to gay rights JI7 May 2014 #17

Why would you think that being a "sitting congressman" indicates more knowledge or honesty tblue37 May 2014 #63

Access to more information AnalystInParadise May 2014 #73

But sitting congressmen also have very powerful incentives to *ignore* facts tblue37 May 2014 #75
