    McCains Poor Record on Veterans and the VA - Hypocrisy

     

    Is anyone else tired of McCain and the Republicans claiming exclusive rights to god and country?  They use vets for photo ops and then throw them away.  McCain and the Republicans with all of their chest pounding don't support vets.  Just do some research on McCain's voting history and the disgraceful record with the VA and vet's care.

     

    April 2006:  McCain was one of only 13 Senators to vote against $430,000,000 for the Department of Veteran Affairs for Medical Services for outpatient care and treatment for veterans.

     

    Check out the link below with a summary of some of his votes.

    Does the RNC stand for anything other than hypocrisy? I'd like to know.
