Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

Thirteen major military and veterans groups have joined forces to try to force one senator Republican Tom Coburn of Oklahoma to release a hold that he has placed on a major veterans benefits bill.
Coburn has been identified by Senate aides as the lawmaker preventing consideration of S 1963, the Veterans' Caregiver and Omnibus Health Benefits Act of 2009, by using an informal but legal practice of putting a hold on a bill.

"I am deeply proud of our men and women in uniform who are currently serving around the world to protect our freedom. They and their families deserve our thanks and admiration for all they have sacrificed in service of our country. As a member of the U.S. Senate, I intend to do everything in my power to ensure they have everything they need to complete their mission."...Tom Coburn

"Tom Coburn Put Anonymous Hold on Vet Benefit Bill"

If you like power, this is an awesome rule to wield.

Wounded soldiers really don't fight all that well so really why waste our precious tax dollars on them. More tax cuts for the rich during war time to honor our country.

This is bullshit that he would fuck with Vets like this. This seems like political suicide.
