I've been swamped in my professional life recently and have not posted in several months - but enough is enough. As a veteran myself, I am incensed by McCain's one-excuse-fits-all remedy, so here is how to smack that twit where it hurts -- On VETERAN's ISSUES. Let's see him use his excuse for this.

I first posted this info back in February - I bring selected portions back as it is incredibly relevant now.

Ever hear Old McCain quote Washington? He uses the following:
"The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive veterans of early wars were treated and appreciated by our nation."
Too bad his record on related votes pales horribly compared to Obama or Clinton, and I suspect Biden, too.

But that was exactly the case as he demeaned Kerry in 2006 and through to today - his record on Veteran issues is abysmal - and that's being charitable. In fact, on the whole - in almost every measure, even the lowest scoring Democrat in Congress score as well or better than the highest scoring Republican.

Here is a nice synopsis

Disabled American Veterans
Key Votes - McCain Scores 28%
Key Votes - Obama Scores 92%
Key Votes - Clinton Scores 93%

Vietnam Veterans of America
Key Votes - McCain Scores 37%
Key Votes - Obama Scores 92%
Key Votes - Clinton Scores 88%

IAVA graded McCain a D, Obama a B+ and
Clinton an A- (unfortunately, this page no longer survives)

Apparently, MCCain wants to reap the rewards of being a POW while telling all others to go take a hike to the hot spot down below.

What a dick!

Spread the word.
