I figured out how the Republicans will explain the conditions at Walter Reed

[Hippo_Tron]

It's Clinton's fault.

[Erika]

1. Or some other inane and stupid remark

Republicans do Not do accountability.

[The_Casual_Observer]

2. They won't ever post about this thing.

[Elwood P Dowd]

3. One repuke has already told me it's the soldiers' fault

"They were not forced to join the military. They should have gone to college like me. Bush is doing a fantastic job. He can't help it a bunch of losers are coming back from Iraq and complaining".

I'm paraphrasing, but that's the gist of the conversation.

[Hippo_Tron]

4. Hey, at least he's honest about how Republicans really feel about our soldiers

[northofdenali]

9. Did you kick his ass?

If not, why not?

[Elwood P Dowd]

14. No, it was a phone conversation

I just told him he needed help and ended the conversation. What can you say to someone like that?

[guitar man]

13. I would have said

.."So.....then you agree with John Kerry about not getting an education and getting stuck in Iraq...."

and watch his head explode...... :nuke:

[Elwood P Dowd]

15. Good one, but I was so shocked

I totally forgot about that.

[Orrex]

5. Why would they even comment on it?

It's not as though anyone in the press will question them about it.

[Bitwit1234]

6. You beat me to it..

But on MSNBC today the commentator did not blame Clinton but he said that you couldn't blame it all on the present administration, that the previous administrations were equally responsible. Yeah, somewhat but the previous administrations have not systematically cut the vet benefits over and over the way bush has.

8. These were empty buildings

during the Clinton years because he was not smart enough to get us in a situation where they were needed.

[niyad]

11. the previous administration didn't get us INTO this illegal, unjust and immoral war--it really is

that simple.

[Caretha]

18. The previous administration

was not complicit in adding 20,000 + wounded soldiers to the system.

[dysfunctional press]

7. and the democratic congress- they don't care about out vets.

that's how they'll get us in 2008.

[KharmaTrain]

10. It's Our Fault For Paying Attention

...heck, just like the Repugnicans did to the Vietnam Vets, they want us to ignore the Iraqi vets as well. Outta sight outta mind ya know. This will especially be the case as the GOOPers look for someone to blame "losing Iraq" on and it's so easy to peg it on a broken down soldier.

Heck...we just ignore 'em, they'll go away :sarcasm:

The only thing worse that the selfishness and arrogance of this regime, is its cheapness.

[Monkeyman]

12. Already happen in the Swamp in the Chicago Tribune

The Replugs are blaming Clinton. I hit back saying Republicans held the purse strings since 1994 in the House

[B Calm]

16. Exactly. hard to blame the other party when congress was controlled

by cons..

[Hubert Flottz]

17. Dick Cheney got a $90,000 tax refund check a couple of years ago

Is how I'd explain it!

[MiniMe]

19. That, or "It is scheduled to be one of the base closings"

The administration had already decided to close down Walter Reed and move everything to Bethesda Naval. So why would they want to spend money rehabing a building that is scheduled to be closed. Um, perhaps because you are putting wounded soldiers in it? There is NO excuse for this.

[Canuckistanian]

20. Sandy Berger called off the contractors

They had the mouldy wall in sight, but couldn't get authorization.

Damn him!

[Hippo_Tron]

22. LOL

[madinmaryland]

21. The mighty Clenis strikes again.

:crazy:
