You're right. Monies have been cut to the VA Hospitals during the last administration.

I don't know how Obama or McCain stands with this issue.

ok so what people want to hear is NOt veterans being cared for?

as for color it IS an issue if hes racist.


How can a person that is half white and raised by a white family be racist?
For many whites he is just black, that is how they have classified us. Many people in my family would be considered white if they lived in any other place in the world. This country has a deep and sorted history of ,a drop of black blood is all it takes. That is why you can tell them till you are blue in the face, me is half or mixed of whatever but all they will see is a color.

I don't care if he is 100% black or 50% black. I just don't understand how people can think he's a racist when he shows nothing but integrity and intelligence.

But you've already judged him based on his ethnic background... seriously look up racist in the dictionary.

ANYTHING is better than Bush.

I don't get it either, but somehow they like to lable him everything he is not and frankly some of what he is accused of being fits much better on the other guy.

my care extends to the hospital insisting what i have is something other than what all my symptoms suggest sinc eit owuld cost them millions to compensate a single soldier afflicted with it. ntm my knees and ankles are uselss almost but i got a 0% rating because theyre able ot hold my weight. then i have low freq hearing loss in ym left ear, but i was told i wasnt "deaf enough" to be compensated. i cant even have someone on my left side talking to me and hear it. i love my country and id go right back to iraq for it, but i need ot know im going to be taken care of afterwards.

No, but I did growing up in one, and there is nothing I can do to change the past. Alot of churches like that get you under the "guise" of christianity and really they are hate mongers.

Besides I looked up the author of the article you quoted and he works for Fox News, the least reliable news source known to man.

I don't agree with everything that my Pastor says. Some big issues like stem cell research. I am for it and the Pastor is not.
