1. Shortly after this America voted more Republicans into the Senate....

You know,....to stop the black guy.

2. But Republicans LOVE and "support our troops"...

Until they come home, apparently.

3. Billions for weapons systems that don't work, except as pork barrel, but none for Veterans in need.

We cannot afford to educate, we cannot afford to medicate, We cannot afford, we cannot afford, we cannot afford...

Except for the carte blanche given to the so-called intelligence budget. Ricky Burr should be ashamed to speak on the Senate floor for fear lightning will strike him.

4. Costs trump health

Send our boy and girls to war. Build the most expensive military times ten in the world. Leave the damaged and mutilated bodies of war to recover on their own. The Republican party has for some time had a crisis of conscious. They might rail against funding the results of war but never the buildup to war. As with the costs of pregnancies. They are all about the life of a cell. When that cell has been delivered into the world its on its own. Shame seems to never find its way back to the shameless bigots that preach a gospel of loving as an institution that will take their place in funding what they themselves fail to understand is the result republican policy.

5. They will let you die before they will

pull a fucking tooth. I have begged them to just get the bad teeth OUT of my mouth. They don't have to give me dentures, please just pull the pain. Nope you don't qualify for dental. Then give me anti-biotics. Nope you need to get to a dentist. I can't afford a dentist. THEY DON'T CARE about soldiers. Doctors at the VA in Montana could care less. You will die before they make an effort to change or buck policy. And WHY won't they treat bad teeth as an emergency. WHO wrote the rules. But I go in tomorrow for hearing aids. The hearing won't kill me but the teeth will. 22 suicides every day and they wonder why. Maybe they need the hearing test.

6. Bad teeth?

Teeth probs? Its the Republican corporations that have been feeding you gmo wheat and cheap carbohydrates which digest to sugar. Never mind the sugar on top of the carbs too.
