After reading this post do you think Hillary Clinton is out of touch with veterans?

2015-10-28T20:45:48-04:00

Hillary Clinton demonstrated how out of touch she is with veterans’ issues when she went on some guy’s show on MSNBC and told Raymond, or Rachel, or whatever his name is that “issues within the VA have “not been as widespread as it has been made out to be”” according to CNN. John McCain shot back;

“I don’t know what Hillary Clinton’s view of what ‘widespread’ is but facts are stubborn things,” the 2008 Republican presidential nominee said on a conference call with reporters.

McCain also took issue with Clinton’s claim that Republicans have made the VA partisan and want to use it to privatize the VA. In doing so, McCain noted that he worked with her Democratic rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders, to pass a VA reform bill.

“Now Hillary Clinton, in her blind ambition, has injected partisanship into the VA issue and that is disgraceful,” he said. “She owes an apology.”

Sen. John McCain lambasted Hillary Clinton on Wednesday for her controversial comments about the Veterans Health Administration, calling on her to apologize for what he described as "disgraceful" remarks.

Well no surprise here SGT Private RallyPoint Member since we are talking about the master of deceiving about what is going on in her mind. While she is a brilliant strategist Hillary Rodham Clinton has been hamstrung at key points in her career by circumstances out of her control. She has been able to cover up her emotions while her husband the Presidential philanderer so putting on a professional act in front of Congress is sheer child''s play for her. :-)

The true SITREP was probably in one of the emails her staffer didn't send to her.....Good job Senator John McCain for calling her out on this issue.

She is not so much out of touch as she really does not care. This lady has her own agenda, and it is not good. She lied about findings on Watergate as she lies now.

Privatizing the VA would be the goal of the Republicans, I can't say that would be good for the veterans.

I was living in Watertown NY (Ft. Drum, NY) back in the 90s when the Clinton's decided that they wanted to push Hilary into the senatorial "spot light". I was 16 (ish) years old then and having had the brief oportunity to speak to her I can tell you with 100% certainty that the only interests that this woman ever has had in the forefront of her mind have always been her own. She doesn't care about the military, veterans, the police, fire fighters, medical personnel, etc. unless we meet a need to an end. She has never served her country and was wishy-washy (at best) during any time she spent in a government position. She's a lier and she has zero ability to tell right from wrong, which, I might add, is something even my 4 year old understands.

She was never in touch with the military in the first place. Making a statement like that is beyond contempt and ignorant of facts. Spoken like a true recipient of the $600 haircut who can shut down an establishment to get to the front of the line.

She is only spewing something that has been fed to her.
I seriously doubt that she, or any other politician, has any real clue what is happening at any VA clinic, hospital or other establishment.

SGT Private RallyPoint Member The Honorable Senator / Secretary Clinton is out of touch with Veterans, average citizens, law enforcement, gun owners, and most of the human race. She splatters vituperations and slanders the persons who have died so she may continue to bloviate.

Mrs. Clinton is totally out of touch with veterans. She along with several more in office could care less about veterans or placing them in harm's way. As a true politician she will say or do anything refence veterans to get the public to render her their vote. Once in office, the mere thought of veterans is the least thing on their mind. A prime example is the projected raise for the military this coming year. Most veterans that are deployed are having to pay someone to come to their home to repair things or even lawn maintenance because they are not there to take care of those items. That costs extra money. The members of Congress get an automatic raise every year. A BIG raise at that. Did they even consider the hardships for the veteran or his family while he is deployed? NO, flat no. We need to clean house in Washington D.C.

She is the closest thing this nation has to Party Apparatchik Elite. She has no moral conflict with sending her "inferiors" to their death if it brings her more wealth and power. Why would she "order" military people in the White House to NOT wear their uniforms? Ask yourself why.

HRM is as "in touch" with anyone as any other politician or "professional liar" could be. Do you have money? Do you have a famous last name? Do you run or own a large business? Can you make million dollar donations to my SuperPAC? If so, we (ALL) want to hear from you. Note nowhere in there did I mention Did you serve your country (No being a "professional" Liar in office does not count)? Do you have all of your limbs or mind working? Are you working in a position that requires you to bust your ass for long periods of time for pennies on the dollar possibly away from home for years at a time? Did you put the interests of others before yours and want to see others succeed? Are you stuck with some of the worst "caregivers" this side of the equator? If so we really DO NOT want to hear from you. But to those politicians on both sides of the coin, it's ok Bruh. You don't owe me sh*t that I didn't earn the hard way.

She was never "in touch" with the military or veterans, so she can't be "out of touch". She despises everyone that serves or has served. My best friend's sister was an E-5 in the communications center at the White House during the last year of the Bush 41 Administration and Clinton's first year or so. She said the derision the Clintons and their staffers had for the military was palpable.
