Hypothetical questions don’t require hypothetical answers, it doesn’t solve anything.
*chuckles*. ican'ts afraid to answer a simple hypothetical question....why am I not suprised.
So, what you're saying is that they should vote for it no matter what and damn the consequences or what their constituencies think?
From your post you are telling me the majority of Republican constituencies are willing and agreeable to refusing care to veterans for no other reason than as a childish payback? Really? And you consider this an appropriate use of the power our congressional representatives wield? You think that one side should vote down something that most of them see as appropriate, something they agreed with when it was introduced, voted for the first time because they knew it was the right thing to do?
There were also amendments they wanted rot include to improve the bill, so I was right. They just give these things noble-sounding titles because that know that useful tools will use the title exactly the way the OP did. Such shallow-thinking out of the internet age.
Useful idiot example two. Can we send her back to a system that she might actually understand and be able to process?
Hmmm...so the bill passed in June with a Senate vote of 84-14 and a house vote of 342-88. It was sent back for a minor technical problem which did not affect the spending in the bill. The second time around the senate vote was 55-42 which because of the filibuster rule effective killed the bill.
I'm guessing you probably approve of Big Bird, Green Eggs and Ham and Elmo, too, you liberal poster, you. WTF is it with Texas and Cruz and Abbott? And why does my brother want to live there?
Brother is a Vietnamese immigrant housed by my parents through his high school years. He went on to become an engineer for Honeywell. Fathered 3 current physicians and has retired as a successful, Asian-American in our wonderful country that rewards those who work hard, take advantage of our public education system (local Minnesota high school, U of M, etc.) We end up where life takes us. Franken liked Cruz because he had regular fodder for his comedy routine because, frankly, the Honorable Senator from Texas is a joke.
I can only speculate. He was transferred there (by his employer) when his daughters were young. He instilled the same work ethic in them that he had when he arrived here at age 14 after being smuggled away in the night by a father that wanted the best for him and his future. Texas has a climate that is more like home and once he'd put down roots, the politics of the area were a cake walk in comparison to what he experienced as a child in the 60s and early 70s in Viet Nam. My guess is that he is more about family and education than about the current politics of the state or the country. He is healthy and wealthy as a result of a solid background and some support along the way. He's in close proximity to his 3 physician daughters and their future families. It will work for him, I'm sure.
