Hey this is scary. Last night Olbermann was channeling Ricky Riccardo and now you are. Spooky. Hey, you weren’t watching football were you?

No, I don’t watch football.

I wanted to know what’s up with Obama going to Joe the plumber’s house and attacking him. Why is McCain saying this? I haven’t heard anything about this.

It seems he has a few to use in balance of his voting record:

On awards:

McCain was closer to the truth when he said that he has “received every award from every major veterans’ organization in America.” He won the 1995 Congressional Award from the VFW and that is the only award the group specifically gives to legislators. In 1992, McCain also won the VFW’s Americanism Award, which is “awarded to an individual for outstanding contribution to Americanism principles.” Other past winners include former AFL-CIO President George Meaney, NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle, actor John Wayne and the company FedEx.

The American Legion gives out a Distinguished Public Service Award, which McCain has never won. But he has won “at least three or four Legislator of the Year Awards earlier in his career” from the Legion’s Arizona office, according to state Legislative Chairman Paul Griffin.

Finally, McCain said that he has “been endorsed in every election by all of the veterans organizations that do that.” The two major groups McCain mentioned earlier – the VFW and American Legion – do not endorse political candidates. However, the VFW has a PAC that has endorsed McCain in every congressional race in which he has run since 1984.

I guess since McCain is a veteran commonly considered a “war hero” a lot of people take his support for veterans for granted. Nobody not the media or his opponent has the guts to call him on it. Hopefully most veterans keep themselves up to date about the candidates voting record

received every award from every major veterans organization.

maybe he DID at one time or another, years ago…

has anyone compiled that list?

If there was a list don’t you think mccain himself would have made it public? He makes many claims that he doesn’t back up, like that he knows how to win wars….that one alone is enough to make you laugh out loud.

Does he think we veterans are stupid and that we do not keep an eye on who actually votes for and against us?

I have 2 schools of thought on this: 1, he knows he has lost most of the current veterans’ support but wants to get the ‘old farts’ (me included, from Vietnam) to buy into his crap. or 2, he ACTUALLY believes his own crap.

Neither answer works for me!

Obama raised 150 miilion dollars the headlines told us. . . but where did that money come from? Wallstreet.

Funny, I don’t work on Wall Street and $250 of that 150 million came from me.

i don’t care enough to do it, but it would be interesting…

Fred, DrxJ, dbadass,

I flag clusterfcuktim every time I see him and he seems to be protected by TP. Maybe paying them for his advertising?

I doubt it. He would show on the sidebar instead of posting in the threads if that were true, like green recovery’s advertisement.

$50.00 of that came from me. Piss off.

Right now McCain is telling the same lies about Obama going to Joe the Plumber’s house and attacking him. The man has not a shred of decency.

Shaaaayne, you have some ’splaining to do. What did I miss?

Your’s is not spam, it is about the issues of the day.

You also have real thoughts to post, not just sound bites to exuse posting something to sell.

You have my support.

The Obama campaign has been raising money from small donors like me from the beginning. Trust me I don’t expect any special favors for my $300. Surprisingly though with the last $50 I received a t-shirt, 5 buttons, a magnet for my fender and a lawn sign. But I’m guessing you aren’t interested in the facts.
