A great big sticky paw and a... "shame, shame, shame" on all of the senator's who agreed to filibuster the extension of the veteran's bill!
These are the same people who would love for us to go back into Iraq and think we should NOT be leaving Afghanistan... oh sure it's alright to spend money to extend wars but heaven forbid that we spend any on the people who fought them... http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2014/02/27/GOP-filibuster-kills-bill-to-expand-veterans-benefits/UPI-83571393542368/

Yet another sticky paw to the House Of Representatives,just think of what they could have accomplished if they had used their time constructively as opposed to just dinking around! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/05/house-obamacare-vote_n_4907219.html?utm_hp_ref=politics&icid=maing-grid7%7Cmaing8%7Cdl35%7Csec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D451011
