| The Republican minority has a lagging past to overcome in the Veterans arena, and even with every stroke of Lady Luck on their side, it may not be enough to deceive America yet one more time to keep the Presidency out of the hands of the Democrats. Republicans have shown themselves for far too long to be crippled in quadraplegia with Disconnect, Cover-Up, faker website posts, grandstanding in empty news releases, and just in general looking the other way as Veterans took their turns to stand before them to OUT a bungled and malpracticed VA agency while they all sat in a Stupor of silence. No More! Veterans have been burned too long, and it is the injustices of now that has a yellow brick road all the way back to those days of the Republican majority and how pleading voices got the cold shoulder of Republicans who were only concerned with putting on a good face while invoking our names as Veterans and then giving us Bills that we didn't want or failed to speak on our mounting crisis. In 2005, I stood at a podium giving my very first presentation before the staffers of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, with Steve Buyers very own people sitting in a line of chairs before me, as I spelled out the issues of suffering and ordeal that we were faced with in trying to advance the chemical exposure patients of the Fort McClellan contamination zone to the internal powers at the VA agency. There they all sat, Buyers own Aide Jeff Phillips, and Len Sistek lead staffer of the House Oversight Subcommittee, looking at me and taking in all the information. They all got up and that was that, and they were never to be heard from again on the Fort McClellan issue. From 2005 until now, nobody at the House Veterans Committee lifted a finger to us to even include us in a part of the process. We were never invited to participate in any House hearing, nor asked to deliver any written statement for the record on our issue. We were given a succession of promises: one after another after another, you know--- much the way the VA does, and then in the final scheme of things, Zero Zip and Nothing at all for an outcome. The million dollar question was never asked of the VA: "Why can't you just manage or supervise anything?" The entire wheel-spinning machinery of Capitol Hill spends all of its time reacting to, running from, throwing a band-aid upon, and giving press interviews on the unending crap factory of the VA, too often caught up in it's very own firings and resignations to even be aware of all the many LAYERS of victims they are leaving behind in the mounting heaps of malpractice, unqualified staffing, and VA processes that only a Moron would dream up. Steve Buyer never had what it took to ask the VA point blank, "Why Oh Why does the entire Capitol Hill have to create and then legislate an entire BATALLION of advisory committees, and oversight groups to perform the very same work that VA managers and supervisors are supposed to be doing who are already on the payroll???" This continues to be the most pressing question by those who look inward to the VA and find nothing but a Zoo, nothing but chaos, nothing but charades to nowhere, and nothing but dumb asses filling up their days with whining excuses!!!! When was the last time Steve Buyer stepped up to the plate and said: "Hey VA, grow up and get it done or we will have somebody in there tomorrow who CAN!!!" But no, all we ever got from Steve Buyer was tomorrow's website headline which skirted all that was wrong. Jim Nicholson was hailed in our faces time and time again, sometime just within HOURS after we had outted the next biggest scam known to mankind at the VA that was neatly placed on our activist agendas. Ya have to be pretty THICK I would say to have a women veteran stand in front of your entire staff and give a 10 minute rundown on the town wide contamination zone hazards still lurking to this very day surrounding the entire base of Fort McClellan, Alabama now don't ya think?? Just how many of YOU would sit in a chair like you were watching the latest yogurt commercial after a presenter just finished giving you the big picture of a hidden patient population waiting to be identified at the VA?? You see this has always been the problem with the Republicans: first hide, conceal, omit, and refuse to speak on any of the chemical exposure Veterans at all no matter what contamination source they were caught up in. This included the unspoken on Edgewood Test Veterans. And THEN, they would turn around and put out faker and phoney website headlines advancing the idea that PTSD was actually the biggest medical population. It was a game of deception by the Republicans, to first not speak on one group, and then advance the agenda of the other group as if they were the "lead medical population". This is one Hell of a way to run a MEDICAL operation, now don't ya think? This then allowed them to "ration" out budget money and make it all look like the medical patients were not suffering at all from the relentless and unending budget cuts that were sending VA Hospital nurses straight into exhaustion. Veterans had good reason to swing over to the Democrat majority in Congress, and now Steve Buyer and the rest of all who he protects at the VA agency, may very well hear from us again for the next presidential election in November. Just ask yourself Steve, just how DUMB does anybody have to be to hear about the contamination zone at Fort McClellan, Alabama and then turn around and do nothing at all about it for the Veterans who are caught up in this crisis?? Inquiring Vet-minds want to know. This message has been edited. Last edited by: McClellanVet, |
