Liberal Veteran

May not be lounge material, but I went to the doctor yesterday.

He wants me to pursue permanent disability.

That's something of a body blow and hard to take in.

Basically, told me I am working myself to death and need to focus on my health and quality of life instead of my career.

I'm gonna need a bigger attorney.

So I guess I'll get to be one of the 47% that Romney hates.

But you only get one go-round on the planet. Maybe it is time for you to focus on you. I realize a person's career is part of who you are, but focusing on the rest of you can be a good thing.

maybe there's nothing he can do to get your vote.


The first think I thought of when I heard Romney's statement: That idiot is dissing disabled veterans. Romney probably thinks the Veterans Administration is a socialist plot, and everyone getting VA health care is a bum.
