McCain and his real record with veterans

I wrote a lengthy Kos diary yesterday that was based on Senator McCains voting record on military and veteran issues since 2001. It shows his NO notes far outwieghing his yes votes for programs that help veterans and military members and their families.

John McCains voting record on military and veterans & Barack

Bottom Line is that Senator Mccains claim to support veterans does not match his voting record, shame on him.

McCain is confronted by a Vietnam Vet about his voting record at a town hall meeting and as usual Senator McCain, obfuscates the issues, ignores his poor voting record by claiming he has received the highest awards that all veterans organizations can award. He refuses to explain his grade of D from the Disabled American Veterans on his voting record of their issues, he ignores the 20% record of voting for American Legion sponsored legislation, and he does not even touch his record with the Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) he voted yes 9 times and voted No 15 times on their issues

Yet he has the gall to say that veterans organizations totally support his candidacy for President, why, Senator Obama has a B+ from the Disabled American veterans and similar high percentages from the other major veterans groups.

I am a totally disabled Infantryman, SSG, 11B3M, from Vietnam to Desert Storm, I support Barack Obama for the fact that he actually DOES support veterans and their families, he has respect for the men and women that wore this nations uniforms in service to the nation, somehow that same reciprocation is NOT available from Senator McCain.

All I can say the Senator Mccain is you need to change your name to Senator McShame....
