Republicans kill Veterans bill in Senate

[thraashman]

Republicans will sign it, but Reid needs to sweeten the pot. Add some things off their wish list and it will be a done deal. Without those things, what incentive do they have to sign off on it?

I don't know, helping veterans. Seems like a pretty sweet pot to begin with.

They could have passed it, except for Harry Reid.



Reid says it is my way or the highway and is not willing to let the republicans have any say at all.

Wait...so when republicans vote no on a bill because they didn't get to include unrelated things to it, it's not them saying, "my way or the highway"?

And not being allowed to include unrelated items on a bill is an issue for you?
