Senate Republicans About to Screw Veterans -- All for a Campaign Ad

It takes a lot to say that Senate conservatives have just made their most craven move in many years, but that's exactly what is happening.

In an effort to force a vote on increasing sanctions on Iran, the Senate Minority is trying to attach the measure to an otherwise non-controversial bill that would help veterans, immensely. And, they're willing to kill the veterans legislation, unless they get their way on making Iran sanctions a part of it.

Many are asking why. Is because of lobbyists? Is it just to muck up the works to keep President Obama from signing a veterans bill? The president did say he would veto increased sanctions on Iran, while nuclear negotiations are ongoing.

No, the answer is simple: campaign ads. The Senate Republican caucus is willing to throw veterans under the bus, just so they can run campaign ads.

3. Democrats can run Campaign Ads also.

Poisoning the Veterans Bill would be a good subject for an Ad. Also interfering with Administration diplomacy might make for another good angle for a Campaign Ad.. Until they take the Whitehouse they should stick to Domestic concerns. The Great Majority of the American people want Obama to create foreign policy. If they wanted Republicans to do so they would have elected a Republican President...

4. So true. The GOP started to attack Obama's foreign policy once they saw how leaving

it unmolested was winning him a second term.

And the Old North State covered in military history and protected by bases galore starts it's decent straight to hell, Over My Dead Body!
