McCain is getting $58000/year disability, in addition to his full salary and medical benefit sas a US Senator.
You'd think he would donate that to a serviceman that really needs it. Instead, he has voted against a new 'GI BIll' for our brave soldiers in this ill conceived war.
This is after he made propaganda videos for the enemy.
Manchurian canidate?
Just curious.... would you have been willing to trade places with John McCain as a POW?
Let's take it one step further - maybe all us retirees should turn in our pensions to help pay for unilateral health care or illegals getting a break on tuition? Don't the illegals deserve to get an education on our dime???
I sure would like to hear your answer on if you would have traded places?
If John McCain didn't vote for a GI bill it was because there was some sort of flaw or pork barrel issue associated with it. It is easy to spin anything.
So far there are 202 GI bills that have been introduced into the 110th Congressl Which one are you referring to? Give me a bill number and I will research it to find out why John McCain did not support it.
I will use Govtrack.us for my research.
BOs biggest asset is his lack of experience in the senate. He only has 2 congressional sessions he has been in the senate for. AND this last session he has spent most of his time running for president!!! Since the 3rd Q of 2007 he has missed 64% of the vote.
In all fairness, McCain's record is no better - obviously they are both running for president. The difference is that McCain has served his constituency as a US senator since 1987! BO can't make any such claim. He is a rookie senator... still wet behind the ears!
BO was 26 years old when McCain became senator!
Please don't make up crap if you can't prove it. For example - being tortured and being forced to make a video. Where is you decency and patriotism as an American in support of captured and tortured POWs or any American citizen who ends up in the enemies hands??? I can make an argument that you are giving aid and comfort to the enemy when you slander the good name of an American heroe. What does that make you?
