900 Iraq-Afghan. vets are amputees, 320,000have TBI & 300,000 PTSD or depression. Troop suicides double peers' rate. 1,000s suffer burns, paralysis, disease, near mortal wounds. 4,700: dead.

McCain said no to billions for VA health, TBI research, & PTSD care. He'd ration vets care for combat injured, leaving millions without care. He opposed New GI Bill: 'too generous.'

DAV: McCain with 20% of the time, Obama 85%.

Being a vet not same as being there for vets. Jim Hudson

Vietnam 69-70

[allgoo19]

Why is that Republican always seems to be pro-war, anti-veterans?

Am I mississing something? If you know of any video showing opposite, please post in "video response"

I can't think of any other reason but Republicans are driven by the war profittier.

[happyhead7]

I have a theory that Mccain is illiterate and votes with his party on most issues without reading the actual bills. How can a former Vet vote against Vets? How can anyone vote for this man? Mccain would be like the american version of North Korea's Kim Jong Il.

[MasterDemonic]

McCain and Obama are BOTH crappy choices for president.

They both will lead our country to ruin.

Who the heck is the other person that is running?

Obama is an idiot, and McCain has got his shit twisted.

They both piss me off.

I would vote for almost anyone other then those 2 ignorant pricks.

[JAGerst86]

Oh finally some little light at 5:33; McCain wasn't OPPOSED to this bill he just wasn't in attendance for the vote-something which my freshman senator Hussein Osama's done throughout his short political career, especially when he 'represents' me-Illinois for McCain.

[saint2sinner001]

Let's see, a veteran and former prisoner of war and did not attend a vote for the GI Bill??? Was old John McCain too busy changing is grown up diapers???

[MasterDemonic]

Obama supports 3rd stage abortion, which is where they kill the baby as it is actually being born, and he wants to teach sex ed to 5 yr olds.

As far as McCain not being there for the vote, he voted against it the previous few years.

McCain and Obama combined represent everything that is wrong in the US today. Their views are so screwed up that it's beyond belief.

[AFallenLord]

not taking a jab, just wondering-- who would you wanna see be president?

[islgrl292]

What a lying moron!!! For the health of the mother, & only to educate children against pedophiles. Get educated DA, & quit listening to Fox "so" called news, Repulbican talking points, or fatboy, drug adled Limbaugh.

[dwj91]

"As President, I will do everything in my power to ensure that those who serve today and those who have served in the past have access to the highest quality health, mental health and rehabilitative care in the world. The disgrace of Walter Reed must not be forgotten. ... Whatever our commitments to veterans cost, we will keep them, as you have kept every commitment to us. The honor of a great nation is at stake."

McCAIN country first? YOU LYING SELLOUT!!!!

[Scoppertop]

McSame -- we the people are tired of insulting jerk-offs like you and the rest of the GOP, that attack instead of answer a question.

WE KNOW ROVE IS ON YOUR TEAM!

[kybutler]

John McCain is clueless~

Barack Obama for president

[dwj91]

This is how veteran organizations rate McCain:

Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America - John McCain rating: D; versus Obama's B+

Disabled American Veterans - John McCain rating: 20%; Obama's rating: 80%

Vietnam Veterans of America - John McCain rating: 15 votes against/ 9 votes for; Versus Obama's rating: 1 vote against/13 votes for veterans.

[dwj91]

Why wil the media not look closer at this? Especially when he is challenging Obama about patriotism and leading troops.

[dwj91]

3/2006: McCain voted AGAINST increasing Vet-medical services $1.5 billion in FY2007.

3/2004: McCain voted AGAINST increasing Vet-medical care by $1.8 billion.

10/2003: McCain voted to TABLE an amendment for $322,000,000 for safety equipment for USforces. "Table"= vote never hits floor.

10/2003: McCain voted to TABLE a vote for $1 Billion for National Guard and Reserve Equipment in Iraq dueto:shortage of helmets, tents, bullet-proof inserts, & tactical vests.

[dwj91]

5/2008: McCain voted AGAINST the Webb GI Bill.

9/2007: McCain voted AGAINST bill to minimize periods of time between deployment of units sent to Iraq.

5/2006: McCain voted AGAINST $20 Million to VA for health care facilities.

4/2006: McCain voted AGAINST $430,000,000 to VA for Medical Services.

[dwj91]

For all of you people talking about Countdown and Rachel, obviously you don't know what the purpose of this video is for.  It is to point out this guy is NO FRIEND to veterans. THAT IS A FACT!!!!! Need some proof I shall provide some.

[iamalbright2]

You are absolutely correct. I volunteer for a Veteran's Non-profit and everything that I've seen shows McCain has turned his back on our veterans. Driving around with a yellow ribbon magnet, does not constitute supporting the troops!

[beatbrain]

this whole video was intended just to prop up Obama

[Chslosers]

This whole media channel as well as countdown is. I used to like countdown and i still dont mind it with keith , but god this bitch is so snotty and anything involving any news about the republican party is sneered ... anyone realize that the MSNBC ratings have been going way down? Wonder why..

[Akerblad]

even calling that vet a moron doesn't get him an answer to his question..

[NObamma2008]

GOOD GOD YOU HIPPIE LOSERS! No one, including your beloved John Kerry, supports the troops more than McCain. This is nothing more than a political hit job. If you listen to the tape, McCain actually gives this loser a compliment by saying "they don't know something you know" suggesting that this moron is actually dedicated to something other than being a moron! However, the rest of us need not be so polite... McCain is a strong supporter of our troops active duty or other wise!

[HNK222]

Christ, you clowns don't give a rat's ass how many troops are slaughtered in this COMPLETELY pointless war of greed and avarice. Jim Hudson, is a "hippie" veteran who actually understands how McCain adheres to the GOP agenda of screwing over the troops, while enriching the corporate draftdodgers (Bush, Cheney, etc) making millions off Americans deaths! Only rightwing idiots think McCain's military experience is more important than his horrible voting record on veteran legislation!

[portlanddem]

I'm surprised that the Vietnam vet wasn't thrown to the ground by security just for merely, disagreeing with McCain since McCain is so anti-free speech.

[tvtownvideo]

McCain=Bush!

McCain makes Bush look like Gandhi!He cant wait to get the birds in the sky and as he has said, "Bomb-Bomb-Bomb-Iran"!

This country cannot afford another Warmonger!His temper is well known in the halls of congress!The American people have had enough of wars while our country is headed into dire straits!

[FieryLocks]

McJoke!

[DaCoach68]

BUSTED, YOU SENILE OLD FART!!!!!!!

[TheMFWIC]

There's only one reason I would never vote for McCain. He was a pilot. I've worked around pilots for 17 years and every single one of them I ever met was totally usless except to sit there and listen to the ceiling fan, and that's exactly what McCain will do in Washington.

[portlanddem]

LOL but true. Thumbs up.

The fact that McCain didn't even answer the question this veteran asked him speaks volumes.

All anyone has to do is go to google and search for both Obama's and McCain's senate voting records and look at how much anti-veteran McCain is and how pro-veteran Obama is.

How the hell is this race even close? Surely I think the media is playing McCain's card up so people will stay interested. CNN and NBC do it all the time.

[RepublicanforObama08]

I will NEVER vote for mc cain..mc old

[Malasubidude]

Bob Barr '08

[iamalbright2]

Do you want another 2000 election fiasco? If you care about this country's future you need to vote for Obama - he may not be perfect, but he has a team of leaders that will work to unite this country.

[tommyd110]

who? what leaders?jessie jackson jr?

[Jutubi00]

Vote Mc Cain!!!

He will bring you more

-government debts (Republicans are social conservatives!!!)

-more wars

-more poverty

don't vote for change, vote for Mc Cain, the real shame!!!

[TheNiceGuy87]

Go ahead John, play the POW-card. He can't even answer a simple question. F*** McCain and f*** everybody who is stupid enough to vote for this idiot!
