Now I can see why VETs Support McPain

[rpfan2008]

Because they can't believe he can do this to them

John McCain, who from the early 1980s worked hard to establish himself as one of the Senate's shining champions of Vietnam veterans' issues, completed his betrayal of the Iraq-era troops today. Brandon Friedman of vetvoice.com has the details:

Yesterday VoteVets.org delivered a petition with 30,000 signatures to the office of Sen. John McCain. Through that petition, we asked him to support Sen. Jim Webb's new GI Bill. And less than 24 hours later, we have an answer:

"Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, seemed to give a thumbs down to bipartisan legislation that would greatly expand educational benefits for members of the military returning from Iraq and Afghanistan under the GI Bill ..."

The reason for McCain's refusal to support the bill is about the most disturbing rationale one could imagine. ... Officials in charge of Pentagon personnel worry that a more generous and expansive GI Bill would create an incentive for troops to get out of the military and go to college....

Murdering McCain would be more patriotic then killing hundreds of "Islamo-fascists".

And everyone's upset about obomba's elitist comments??? How is this not all over the news?? Sheesh. I wonder how we got stuck with this piece of scum too.

I agree...

I bet an FBI agent will pick up on this Topic.

^^^ Occasionally I am genuinely scared by some of the members on this forum. I wonder just how crazy you guys are. I know that if somebody decided to do something like that, a lot of us would say 'it was a plant 'by the new world order' or some stupid crap.

THIS vet would never vote for the Madman!

I don't believe in "NWO" and I believe John Wilkes Booth to be one of the greatest patriots to have existed (though I disagree with many of his ideas).

We're all really, really crazy. You are too, though.

Media Manipulation!

I see where the media is starting to pay attention to McWar's short fuse.(Early stage of dementia)

this is just ridiculous...even Huckabee or Fred Thompson would have been better.
