Why Won't McCain Support Our Vets?

2008-11-20T06:27:17Z

Robert Lopez served 8 years in our military, fighting in Iraq as a tank commander. He was told he'd get his whole education bill paid for when he got out of the service, but like so many others, Mr. Lopez has faced the bleak reality of a government that has turned its back on its veterans.

That is why Senators Jim Webb and Chuck Hagel proposed the new GI Bill, which would bring back WWII-style standards of providing vets with full tuition, room and board. And that is why 51 senators have signed on, including 9 Republicans like John Warner, giving this GI Bill tremendous bipartisan support.

But it isn't enough. Faced with unprecedented filibusters, the only way to ensure Senate passage of the GI Bill is to get 60 co-sponsors. So far, John McCain has refused. The same McCain who insists he supports our troops. The same McCain who is voting lockstep with the Bush administration (who have also resisted this bill). We need to get John McCain to lead — to sign now and signal to other Republican leaders that we should be strongly behind our vets.

Robert Lopez thinks John McCain ought to stand in his shoes to know how difficult it is to be a vet and have to pay staggering education costs. THIS is your call to arms. Pass the video along and implore your friends to sign the petition.

Vote Vets, WesPAC, and Brave New Films feel passionately about giving our veterans the support they rightly deserve. Our government owes our troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan the opportunity to receive full educational benefits. These patriots have fought hard for our government; it's time our government started fighting hard for them.

McCain Camp Fears VoteVets

2008-02-27T17:13:27Z

Here's a copy of the e-mail that Rick Davis, McCain's campaign manager and lobbyist-in-chief, sent to constituents in response to yesterday's VoteVets ad. Gotta love the irony that Davis says "there's no limit to what the [Liberal Left] will spend." And didn't those smear merchants at The NY Times endorse McCain once upon a time? How quickly we forget.

Republicans Use Rush's "Phony Soldiers" Attack To Raise Campaign Funds

Any lessons to be learned here Democrats?

Yes, nobody with a sound mind can be as shameless as these thugs. But the condemning our own, when these traitors say and do far more unpatriotic things every day, has to stop.

Major General John Batiste On Rush Limbaugh

2008-10-24T03:29:30Z

Not "on him" like that cyst on his ass that kept him from serving in Vietnam while being in favor of the war for everyone else. You know, so we could become trading partners with them 20 years later.

But I digress. Watch the video while one REAL soldier addresses one REAL sleazy, corpulent, drug-addled, Viagra-pumping, thrice-married, Central American sex tourist.

Watch General Wesley Clark and Jon Soltz of VoteVets explain what a disaster an attack on Iran would be.

Now I know two war veterans don't know as much about battle as say, Bill Kristol or Charles Krauthammer, but what the hell, give it a watch.

As Clark says, "every day we don't talk to Iran, they are one day closer to a nuclear weapon."

Wow, rationality, ain't it grand!

Pssst...Bill Kristol, BTW, works for The Weekly Standard, which is owned by, you guessed it, Fox owner Rupert Murdoch. And Kristol and Krauthammer are both contributors to..wait for it...wait for it...did you get it? Yeah, Fox.

Go tell FoxNews how you feel about their trying to start another war. Sign our letter and stop them!
