John McCan Kicker already got his GI benefits, why start caring now?

Absolutely, I can’t believe as outspoken as Whoopie is that she didn’t get in his face. I’m very surprised by that. She had the perfect opportunity too..

The same group of nutty right wing bloggers who badgered mccain for correcting himself about the non-existent links between iran and al-queeder will eat him alive and probably start shopping for fertilizer if he involves himself in anything involving democrats..

You can often see the soul of a man or a political party through their actions on an issue like this. We have been at war for five years. Thousands dead and tens of thousands injured. Yet, McCain can only justify his support or nonsupport of the measure as a means to entice our youth into joining for the war. A true patriot sees it as a debt paid to those who sacrificed. You do not need to consider whether similar benefits as given to those after WWII should be given to a war the McCain believes to be on the same level

You’re wrong. Co-sponsor is Chuck Hagel (R). You should try this new blog: TheZoo. There’s a post there on the subject.

**raspberry**

I just read it. Good one.

“You can have too much of a good thing”

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t McCain a co-sponsor of this bill? WTF?

Nope. McPander Bear is waffling. I think he’s too busy; what with spending his days talking out of both sides of his mouth, supporting the surge, declaring victory, and all. Whatever the reason he has failed to sign on to the Webb, Hagel bill.

Yes, he IS a co-sponsor of the bill, but that was before he sold his soul to the right wing. I figure that either he hasn’t yet received his marching orders on what position he’s supposed to take, or he’s trying to figure out how he can flip-flop on something he actually co-sponsored without insulting everybody’s intelligence.

And what’s truly hilarious about this is that it’s basically a no-brainer. It has bipartisan support, and it’s needed as an recruiting incentive (and unless the draft is reinstated, we either need to recruit more people or quit invading other countries). McCain isn’t going to lose enough votes by supporting this to matter.

The only reason the opposition can give is that if you give soldiers money to go to school, they’ll want to quit at the end of their enlistment and go to school. Fine. If this is McCain’s position, why can’t he just say so?

If he can’t take a stand on something this simple, how does he figure he’s going to function as President?

Perhaps what the Pentagon should be proposing is to allow active military to use the educational benefits. That way the soldiers could get an education and stay in the military.
