Would a real patriot vote against expanding healthcare coverage for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits?

Fourteen Republican senators said "Fuck yeah!"

Here's the info:

Veterans who are likely to benefit from the legislation include those affected by Agent Orange, in addition to the approximate 3.5 million post-9/11 veterans exposed to burn pits during deployments.

The Senate Republicans who voted against the bill include: Richard Burr of North Carolina, Mike Crapo of Idaho, James Lankford of Oklahoma, Mike Lee of Utah, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Rand Paul of Kentucky, James Risch of Idaho, Mitt Romney of Utah, Mike Rounds of South Dakota, Richard Shelby of Alabama, John Thune of South Dakota, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania and Tommy Tuberville of Alabama.

Senators Jon Tester, a Montana Democrat, and Jerry Moran, a Kansas Republican, introduced the bill. On the Senate floor on Wednesday, Tester said Congress had "a chance to do the right thing by their families and future generations of our all-volunteer military."

Mitt Romney of Utah? I wonder what was in the bill that he voted no. usually these bills contain other pork, which is why people vote no.

trying to find out whats in the bill is the real work....

yeah, glad it passed, but the most of the people affected are prob dead by now.

Again, why did they vote against it? Not a loaded or rhetorical question. I 100% guarantee there was some bullshit democrat pork added to the bill. So rather than playing the political game, saying that republicans voted against veterans, what was the real reason they voted against it?

The question is why. The answer is never what a liberal says it is.

Because they hate America? 🙂
