For all we know, those were bad bills, or veterans benefits were ancillary issues attached to other bills.

I was about to ask was there further explanation on why it was voted down.
I hate it when either candidate says "So-and-so voted # times AGAINST this awesome thing" without offering an explanation as to why they voted against it. Like - John McCain voting against funding for the war because it had a timeline, not because he didn't think the troops needed funding.
People think it's so cut and dry but it never is - with all the pork added in to some of these bills it's almost impossible NOT to pass them if you don't want to get flack later on, because it can be turned around any which way that you voted against something that's important to however many people.
