But perhaps more significantly, the group’s national co-chairs, who will advise Romney on veteran policy if he is elected, include James Nicholson, former secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) under President George W. Bush.


Some veterans advocates say Romney’s decision to tap Nicholson, who abruptly resigned from the VA in 2007 amid controversy, as well as Anthony Principi and James Peake, who also presided over the VA during George W. Bush’s two terms in the White House, could signal that Romney will embrace some of the policies of the Bush years, which were widely considered to be tough times for veterans.


“A Romney presidency would be a disaster for veterans, as evidenced by whom he’s chosen to advise him,” says Patrick Bellon, executive director of Veterans for Common Sense, a veterans’ advocacy organization. “I think these choices should give all Americans pause. How can voters support a candidate who is showing so clearly that he learned nothing from Bush’s failures? It would be a mistake to trust people like Nicholson who failed veterans in such epic fashion.”


Nicholson, a wealthy attorney, decorated Vietnam veteran and former chair of the Republican National Committee who served as VA Secretary from 2005 to 2007, said in a statement on Romney’s website, “Veterans have served our nation proudly for decades. They deserve not only our respect and admiration, but top quality care for the rest of their lives. Mitt Romney will work tirelessly to ensure that veterans and military families are always cared for. That is why I am proud to join him in his campaign to keep America strong and prosperous.”


But the “top quality care” to which Nicholson refers was reportedly hard to come by when he ran things. A cover story in Newsweek in March 2007 reported that the VA under Nicholson was an overloaded bureaucracy that was unprepared for the onslaught of troops returning from war and was failing America’s wounded.


USA Today reported that same year that the VA’s clinics and hospitals suffered from hundreds of problems, including worn carpet, damaged floor tiles, leaking roofs and****oach infestations.


“Gov. Romney will bring a new approach to the White House and look for every way possible to help our veterans,” responds a campaign spokesman. “He cares deeply about veterans and takes this issue very seriously.”


While at the VA, Nicholson, who could not be reached for comment for this story, reportedly defended a budget measure that sought major cuts in staffing for VA health care, cut funding for nursing home care, and blocked four legislative measures aimed at streamlining the backlog of veterans benefit claims.


Nicholson, a devout Catholic who also served as President Bush’s ambassador to the Vatican, was also criticized after an electronic file stolen from the home of a VA analyst in May 2006 revealed Social Security numbers and other personal information for more than 2 million U.S. military personnel.


Nicholson told Congress that the VA would offer free ID theft protection for one year to those affected by the theft, but once the data was recovered, the VA reportedly rescinded the offer.


When Nicholson resigned, Paul Rieckhoff, executive director of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, the largest group representing veterans of America’s two post-9/11 wars, said, “The VA under Secretary Nicholson has been woefully unprepared for the influx of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, consistently underestimating the number of new veterans who would seek care, and failing to spend the money Congress allotted to treat mental-health issues.”

Seals have to do everything short of dying to be worthy of being called one. they're also expected to follow orders unconditionally. guess this one found a conscious along the way

politicians are placed into power, not elected. Obama had to lie, steal, cheat, fake, fraud, kiss ass & become a complete puppet to be where he is today. have you even read all the executive orders he's made?

"I should have checked my facts" is a sign that you realize you need to check your facts.

watch this & tell me i'm still wrong about what's going on. you're constitution is going to be null & void very soon

why am i the nut when i'm only going after the truth? i think you're all nuts for rationalizing everything & doing absolutely nothing about the tyranny going on all around. there's tons going on - just pick one thing & do something about it already.

As for the arms treaty - it regulates the TRADE of small arms, not their possession or tracking in individual hands. There is no threat to the US second amendment

everybody knows that his dad wasn't a natural born US citizen. Barry was born in Kenya then grew up in Polynesia & Hawaii. he should be impeached yet nothing... at least put his VP in charge until this thing is taken care of

i stayed quiet over the Colorado shooting because i was more concerned about my parents this weekend. all i'm going to say is it reeks of a CIA set up. it's just in time for the UN gun treaty to be signed on Friday not to mention an excuse to get the TSA into the theaters. it seems quite obvious that the shooter might have been under the influence of mind control as well as hallucinogens. he was cold, calculating and firing at random then just gave up at the end.

Holmes was denied training at a facility so they replaced him with a hired gun or 2 to take his place while he was high on psychotropic drugs in his vehicle. my guess would be they used Russian troops that were stationed under the Denver airport since April. they could take out Americans in cold blood without remorse.

Nice catch!! Symbolizing the trauma it took to inspire the alter persona of Batman!! Excellant! Also the massacre took place on 7/20. 7+2=9. 9 is the number of death in illuminati circles.
