John McCain claims that his military service is one of his qualifications to be commander in chief. I seriously doubt his dedication to the American military. His voting record shows his lack of concern for our bravest men and women.

John McCain missed 10 of the past 14 votes on Iraq.

John McCain in September 2007: voted against the Webb amendment calling for adequate troop rest between deployments.

John McCain in July 2007: voted against a plan to drawdown troop levels in Iraq.

John McCain in March 2007 was too busy to vote on a bill that would require the start of a drawdown in troop levels within 120 days with a goal of withdrawing nearly all-combat troops within one year.

John McCain in February 2007 didn’t even bother to show up to vote against a resolution condemning it. For such a strong supporter of the escalation, McCain didn’t even bother to show up and vote for it.

John McCain in June 2006, voted against a resolution that Bush start withdrawing troops but with no timeline to do so.

John McCain in May 2006, voted against an amendment that would provide $20 million to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for health care facilities.

John McCain in April 2006, was one of only 13 Senators to vote against $430,000,000 for the Department of Veteran Affairs for Medical Services for outpatient care and treatment for veterans.

John McCain in March 2006, voted against increasing Veterans medical services funding by $1.5 billion in FY 2007 to be paid for by closing corporate tax loopholes.

John McCain in March 2004, once again voted for abusive tax loopholes over veterans when he voted against creating a reserve fund to allow for an increase in Veterans’ medical care by $1.8 billion by eliminating abusive tax loopholes. Jeez, McCain really loves those tax loopholes for corporations, since he voted for them over our veterans’ needs.

John McCain in October 2003, voted to table an amendment by Senator Dodd that called for an additional $322,000,000 for safety equipment for United States forces in Iraq and to reduce the amount provided for reconstruction in Iraq by $322,000,000.

John McCain in April 2003, urged other Senate members to table a vote (which never passed) to provide more than $1 billion for National Guard and Reserve equipment in Iraq related to a shortage of helmets, tents, bullet-proof inserts, and tactical vests.

If he believes that we should stay the course for as long as possible he should be willing to support the people he puts in harms way.

John McCain is not a friend of the American Military.

I wonder how far his mom and dad have to go to find a place to hide every time this moron opens his mouth…

peace

C’mon trolls, let’s hear your defense of this one!

But, but, but, Obama kills babies!

So, an AWOL Air Guardsman & 5 deferrment Dickstick are VFW heroes?

Gag me.

While mold is inhaled by troubled, sick young soldiers in another military base, Bushit world uses doublespeak to take credit for something they never did.

That’s like Condi saying Countries don’t invade another sovereign State in the 21st Century.

Liars, cheaters, chickenshits and blowhards; the lot of ‘em.

Watch the vid ; the moronic piece of shit is greeted with applause after delivering this line :

BUSH: Earlier this year, I was pleased to sign a piece of legislation that the VFW has long championed, a GI Bill for the 21st century.

I don’t mean to bad-mouth Vets ; but where in the hell was someone to yell out “You mean the one you threatened to veto , jackass?” ………..?

Vets risk their lives ; there isn’t one willing to risk irritating this sorry sack of shit with the truth ?

Or are the Vets pre-screened like every Chimpy function (which I suspect is the way it is)………?
