Why Veterans Should Not Support John McCain

Al Santoli -- combat vet of the Vietnam War and former Congressional investigator

Carol Hrdlicka --wife of a Vietnam War pilot shot down, captured, yet never returned

Mike Benge -- returned POW of the Vietnam War
andEleanor Apodaca -- sister of a Vietnam War MIA

explain some of the reasons that:

Disabled American Veterans (DAV) rates John McCain's voting record as only 20% in support of veterans, the lowest in Congress;

Iraq and Afghanistan American Veterans give McCain a grade of "D";
and Vietnam Veterans of America rate McCain's voting record on veterans' issues at 30%.

McBush voted to lower healthcare for Vets... when questioned about it McBush kept bringing up that he's a vet himself. Stop using the same fucken excuse!!

all you have to do is check the voting record

voted against GI bill

voted against making sure forces have adequate equipment

voted against more money for tricare

voted against better funding the VA

voted against giving coverage for mental conditions for returning GIs

and this is Mcsame - the dear OLD POW.

you can't support us troops if you don't support our reason for fighting. While obama was running around with Ayers the terrorist, McCain was being tortured for his country.

If you dig through the voting records in the Senate you will find that Democrats CONSISTANTLY

vote FOR veterans benifits.

Veterans best friend in the Senate is Jim Webb.

And guess what party he hails from?

I don't understand why people would vote Republican, especially for John "Keating Five" McCain. The Reps. are for the rich and not the poor and middle class. Reps. give big tax breaks to the rich, while the poor and middle class lose social programs.

The trickle down theory doesn't work.

Reps. are for big oil and fear. They love war and make huge money off it.

Reps. say they are for small gov. but they sure are big on cutting civil liberties. And they spend us into big debt all the time.
