dailykos.com — At his townhall meeting in Rochester, MI today, John McCain lied about his veteran's voting record saying, "I received the highest award from literally every veterans organization in America." The truth is, the recognition McCain has received from veterans groups is not "high awards" but failing grades. Check the record for yourself.

How is it that our greatest "patriots" come from states that rebelled against the US?

Only a man who has been in a war can truly hate war.Oh, wait...that's not true...maybe we should replace "war" with "America" and "veterans" respectively.

McCain is a DISGRACE to all Vets! He actually stood there and looked his fellow Vet in the eye and lied about his Voting record. To the man's face. McCain does not even deserve his current Senate position, let alone the presidency of the U.S.

I know he grew up in Jakarta, but to bring it up as if it was a reason not to vote for him *is* racist, whether you admit it or not.Oh, and I'm a bit older than you seem to think (I might even be older than you). It still doesn't change the fact that you were wrong about Obama losing the nomination, just like you're wrong about him losing the GE. As far as me being indoctrinated goes, f**k you. No one told me how to think, I learned to develop my critical thinking by reading Kant, Voltaire, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and other philosophers. I've studied the political histories of the US, France, Germany, Russia and (to a lesser degree) China. I've listened to both Friedman and Chomsky. So, again, f**k you and the high horse you rode in on.I haven't demonized you, you've demonized yourself with your racist remark and your irrational support of John McCain.

Well alright lets talk about the Obama plan to socialize health care. I don't want the government involved in my health care decisions. I don't want rationed health care. I don't want to pay for your health care if you decide to make bad health choices. From Obama's site Obama's Plan to Cover Uninsured Americans: Obama will make available a new national health plan to all Americans, including the self-employed and small businesses, to buy affordable health coverage that is similar to the plan available to members of Congress.WHO will subsidize this? YOU WILL WITH HIGHER TAXES! YOU ARE GUARANTEED COVERAGE! What will happen if you are covered no matter what? You will have NO RESPONSIBILITY to make yourself healthy. You can get up, smoke as much you want and have no consequences to your actions. Obama wants to let the Bush tax cuts expire which will mean a TAX INCREASE on everyone, yes including YOU! More than likely this will help pay for the subsidized health insurance plan but there won't be enough money because those who can afford to will take their money out of the USA until Obama is gone and his policies are reversed. Obama wants to raise the capital gains tax from its current 15% to around 28%What is a capital gain? Any return on an investment. If you happen to have a retirement program it will be taxed at a higher rate than it is now meaning it will be less valuable. What the side effect will be is less investment into the markets and ultimately a higher unemployment rate since the cost of starting a business will be higher as the investment is higher and the risk is greater. The returns will be less valuable. Obama wants to take from those who have and give to those who have nothing. It is called the redistrubution of income....a marxist idea. Tax more and give no incentive to those who don't have to work harder and earn more. IT is a regressive system to get punished for being successful. What incentive would you have to become successful then? Do you really want to live in your mother's basement all your life there stinkymonkey? Smoke pot all day and work at a quick shop for enough money to buy a new bong?!?!
