McCain Lies About Veteran's Support

http://thinkprogress.org/2008/10/20/mccain-lies-to-veteran/

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) held a telephone town hall meeting, in which thousands of Nevadans — according to the McCain campaign — called to listen in. Among some of the hostile, pointed, and critical questions came one from a veteran, who challenged McCain on his voting record regarding funding for the Veterans Administration and veterans priorities: Q: I know you voted for lesser increases, and sometimes they were so much less, and our VA desperately needs the money. Can you tell me why you would vote for less money for the VA when theres a war going on? M: Well of course I have not and Im afraid Ive been endorsed by the VFW in every election that Ive been in. I have been — received the honors, the highest honor and awards from all our veterans organizations for my consistent support of them. I dont know what youre looking at, but the DAV, the VFW, the American Legion, all of them have given me their highest awards for my consistent support of them.

It's pretty sad when you have to keep lying about supporting our troops over and over again and hope the American people are too stupid to realize it.

This guy's a terrible liar.

One thing is for sure McCain is Saint Paul to Obama's Lucifer in lies or trying to score partisan political points. Pinocchio is more honest than Mr. Hope and Change........

That's Republicans for you. They think the average citizen is too stupid and naive. Republicans are pretty out of touch with the world and the American people. McCain has gone on record of saying that he for the most part disagrees with what the American people want. Then again...you can't trust politicians.

This is the McCain/Palin Jedi tactic.
