Help me here. I don't understand. This is from the Washington

Post on 3/1/07:

"In 2004, Rep. C.W. Bill Young (R-Fla.) and his wife stopped visiting the wounded at Walter Reed out of frustration. Young said he voiced concerns to commanders over troubling incidents he witnessed but was rebuffed or ignored. 'When Bev or I would bring problems to the attention of authorities of Walter Reed, we were made to feel very uncomfortable,' said Young, who began visiting the wounded recuperating at other facilities."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/02/28/AR2007022801954.html?sub=AR

This is the reason that was given, and which exists on video tape, for his not debating his opponent in the 2006 Election:

"Congressman Young was unable to be here today, because on the date that we arbitrarily scheduled to tape this debate, he was already scheduled to be in Washington for his regular national security briefing and to visit the Marines and soldiers at Bethesda and Walter Reed Hospitals."

2006 is like AFTER 2004, right? "Stopped" means halted, discontinued, ceased or something like that, right?

2. One lie/excuse was to humanize him perhaps. I now wonder if there
was even a nat'l security briefing that day.

Nice find!

6. I will have to ask his opponent the date of the debate. She also
furnished the quote, which is exactly the way I remembered it, but I didn't have the tape.

15. I just sent this e-mail to Young, I'll copy Keith in:
Help me here. I don't understand. This is from the Washington Post on 3/1/07:

"In 2004, Rep. C.W. Bill Young (R-Fla.) and his wife stopped visiting the wounded at Walter Reed out of frustration. Young said he voiced concerns to commanders over troubling incidents he witnessed but was rebuffed or ignored. 'When Bev or I would bring problems to the attention of authorities of Walter Reed, we were made to feel very uncomfortable,' said Young, who began visiting the wounded recuperating at other facilities."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/20...

This is the reason that you gave, and which exists on video tape, for not debating your opponent in the 2006 Election:

"Congressman Young was unable to be here today, because on the date that we arbitrarily scheduled to tape this debate, he was already scheduled to be in Washington for his regular national security briefing and to visit the Marines and soldiers at Bethesda and Walter Reed Hospitals."

2006 is like AFTER 2004, right? "Stopped" means halted, discontinued, ceased or something like that, right?

So, Bill, who are you lying to?

Proud of your boys Bill? Being written about in the paper and all... I can tell they want you to quit wasting your money on the wounded and spend it on them.
