John McCain: Town Hall Meeting 07/07/08

2008-10-27T15:31:40Z

John McCain
Town Hall Meeting
07/07/08

TRANSCRIPT:
JOHN MCCAIN: "I see a person with a funny hat on that says Vietnam Veterans, so I'd love to recognize you first, sir."
[...]
QUESTIONER: "Senator, veterans and all Americans admire your service [...] but we know that you voted against—well, actually you didn't vote on the GI bill and you spoke out against it. We understand you have a difference on that but we [...] haven't heard an explanation of why you voted against your colleagues' proposals to increase health care funding in 2004, [2005], [2006] and [2007] when we had troops coming back from two wars."

MCCAIN: "[...] I have great respect for Sen. Webb and I appreciate his efforts. [...] The problem that some of us had [...] was that there were studies that showed that we didn't have incentives for people to become career military people. [...]"

MCCAIN: "With that all I can say is, I don't know what you're pointing to but I've received every award from every major veterans' organization in America—I've received every organization in America their awards—but sir I don't know what you're referring to [...] But the reason why I have a perfect voting record from organizations like the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion and all the other veterans service organizations is because of my support of them. But you can go ahead and respond if you want to. Go ahead."

QUESTIONER: "You do not have a perfect voting record by the DAB and the VFW; that's where these votes are recorded. And the votes were proposals [...] by your colleagues in the Senate to increase health care funding of the VA in 2003, [2004], [2005] and [2006] for troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. And you voted against those proposals. I can give specific Senate votes, the numbers of those Senate votes right now."
