Sen Ron Johnson - VA Too Expensive To Fund. Why Serve If You Will Be On Your Own If Hurt.

As reported on Daily Kos this GOP Senator seems to think that taking care of vets is too expensive. So maybe the solution is that no vet comes back from a war. What does the GOP propose to do if they do not think we need VA. I am sure private insurance will cover the bill just fine.

The problem is that obstructionist GOPPERS have caused the problem in the first place. And their idea is to privatize the VA like everything else. Say we privatize Congress and make them work for no pay.

Lobbyists write the bills and Congress members get campaign funding for passing them.

He's great at pandering to Teabaggers, but in the real world he fails completely.

I read somewhere Johnson out-spent his opponents 5-10 to 1.

Combine that with hate radio, Faux "news," and the Teabaggers and they could have elected a slime mold.

The gop wants to take away veterans benefits but make war. How typical for chickenhawks and neocons.

Right after it came out He had first hand knowledge of former State Assembly Majority Leader Bill Kramer sexual assault in the first degree of a female republican staffer in the parking lot of a GOP event more than two years ago.
The unknown woman, for reasons not disclosed, held back on reporting Kramer to law enforcement provided he never assault another woman. Kramer was charged in March of this years for assaulting two different woman during a trip to Washington DC for a Wi GOP fundraiser.
Kramer faces 40+ years for criminal sexual assault.

Ron Johnson warned no one.
Ron Johnson felt party loyalty surpassed the criminal code of Wisconsin and the United States.
