Rep. Bartlett (R-MD) says VA data theft risk is acceptable (WHAT)

[Monkeyman]

Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD) really know how to put his foot in it.

In a meeting with veterans,VA Secretary Jim Nicholson was doing the soft shoe reasuring everyone that the VA was on top of the data theft issue and that it wasn't going to happen again ya right.

Then here it come Bartlett put in his two cents;Mr. Bartlett said the huge volume of information the VA handles opens up the department to security problems,but that risk is worth the benefit the VA provides veterans. (What)

No Mr. Bartlett ,the risk is NOT worth the benefit!!Was Bartlett asleep? Was he even aware he was speaking to veterans/ Or is he just like every other replug a non- caring num nuts.

I hope this link works guys here you can see the replugs voting records on veterans

3. Sadly, this crackpot is the Rep from my part of the State . . .

After years of living in Northern California (predictably progressive) or overseas (still able to vote for federal candidates), it's a real comedown to have jerks like this pretending they know what's best for ME.

As an example of Mr. Bartlett's reasoning, he's more than once come out in opposition to contraception. I'm not talking abortion here, but contraception!

Oh yeah, he's a homophobe as well. Sheesh!

The VA and the government and the country gets the better end of the "deal" with veterans. If you don't think so then you go to Iraq. Now. Motherfucker.
