I think the point she made was that the civil service protection afforded to the non-medical employees at Walter Reed contributed to a 'that's not my job to fix it' mentality. While it certainly isn't the Democrats 'fault' that Walter Reed was in shoddy condition, it is fair to say that civil service protection is a cause championed by the Democrats, for better or worse. After having spent a fair amount of time working in the Veteran's Affairs Hospital system, I assure you, many ancillary employees know exactly what and what isn't in their job description and trying to get tham to flex one iota beyond the published parameter is like pulling teeth. Of course, they have total job security unless they do something truly dreadful...the inertia of inaction is pretty impressive![]()
I hate to say it, but as a veteran, I've seen the above in action. It is the same way with Unions. Another 'democratic' convention. No wonder I'm a closet republican.Its been years since I've been to Walter Reed; I don't recall seeing any disrepair when I was there, but I wasn't hospitalized. I just can't believe it went on so long with out SOMETHING being done. What happened to good old fashioned work ethics?
Really makes me see red
Best place for her
I wonder if she collects royalties?:funn:

Fat Bastard would say "That woman is flat sexy"! no pun intendedOf course, Ann Coulter is mean. Why, just look at that pathetic chickey-wingey thing. For God's sake, someone please give this woman a hamburger!![]()
you da man, RevRiv, now about that Budweiser franchise so i'm not disenfranchised.I disagree, when the Right Rev Jessie and the even Righter Rev Al say use similar inflamatory speach they are applauded and the rep hierarchy is afraid to call for a public retraction / apology. And when (really IF) a retraction or apology comes, it's lame at best and usually back handed. I usually don't wade into these political threads cause they usually end up with everybody getting feelings hurt or feelings of animosity against someone you used to like. Just so you'll know I still like y'all![]()
