“I beg my colleagues to sit down and let’s work this out. Veterans are dying. This is not a policy, academic issue here. This is the very lives of the men and women who are serving.”
Sen. John McCain, on the battle in Congress over how much to spend on reshaping the troubled Veterans Affairs Department. Though the House and Senate overwhelmingly approved separate bills in June to speed up veterans’ access to care, they still disagree on the price tag, and it’s unclear whether the legislation will pass in the few days left before Congress adjourns for its August recess.

COMMENTARY: McCain ‘sounds’ so sane, so rational in the statement at the top of this post. Alas, his actions ‘say’ something altogether different and that is where we MUST focus our attention … on the man’s actions — ALWAYS. Words, sound bytes do NOT make the man — ANY man [or woman].
