GOP Attack Dog Mauls Sanders For Helping Vets

I can't make hide nor hair of the reasoning in this article, but I do find the timing of the attack on the eve of the first debate quite interesting

http://www.gopusa.com/commentary/2015/10/12/how-the-bern-burned-the-vets/

My recap to save you the click:

1) CNN should attack Sanders for "mishandlng" the VA.

2) Sanders defended VA "bureaucrats" against Koch brothers' funded attacks.

3) That proves that Sanders is a lunatic who needs to be committed.

4) The fact that Sanders helped craft a law for vets that includes a private-car option proves that socialized medicine cannot work (except in every other country, of course).

5) Veterans want more healthcare choices.

6) Sanders' campaign website's failure to mention that the law he helped to craft includes a private option proves that he did not learn that this proves that all socialized medicine is doomed.

7) Sanders' campaign's promise of "Medicare for All" proves he does not realize all socialized medicine is doomed.

8) Sanders' lukewarm support of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki proves something else really bad.

9) Some Repuke activist called Sanders "an apologist for the VA."

10) Sanders is to blame for the fact that the VA was underfunded, undermanned and overused. The fact that he worked hard across the aisle to address this successfully against long odds is meaningless.

If this is the best attack Repukes can mount, I look forward to a Sanders' landslide in the general election.
