VA scandal

I was looking for a thread on this but didn't see it. Wasn't sure what everyone thought about it. Regardless I think we all can agree that Corrine Brown may be the biggest idiot out there. Gotta love her "not one single complaint".

Maybe her reconnaissance mission included everywhere but her home district? Go gayta's!

 

Death panels?

 

Corrine Brown is both the best and worst example of democracy that mankind may ever see.

 

People should do time over this

 

Well said

 

How she gets elected, I don't know.

 

I used to live in Maxine waters district. She got 85 percent of the vote the last election despite the fact she should be in jail. Guess people just vote for who they are used to

 

I firmly believe that gerrymandering is one of the greatest problems of our "democracy". 90% of the politicians don't have to worry much about anything beyond the primary and, every 10 years, the party in power gets to manipulate the maps in their favor simply because they have a majority. That's in large part how dipshits like Waters, Brown, etc. get elected and never have to face the consequences of their actions.

 

Agreed

 

Low information voters who vote on name recognition is also a factor.

 

Agreed, but each party has some culpability for allowing dipshits to repeatedly get nominated after failing to be worthy representatives.

 

Also true. A lot of good people could do these jobs, but don't want to put up with the bullshit or do things like beg for money.....I mean, fundraise.

 

Completely agree

 

The VA in East TN is run by idiots, too. Live in Knoxville, less than 5 miles from a VA facility that provides the care you need? Get in your car and drive 100 miles to Johnson City you stupid old man. Want to appeal that? Go **** yourself.

 

Obama 2008: VA will be 'leader of health care reform'
He got that right. The ACA is heading toward the same path as the VA.
