- marabout40, on 07/08/2008, -6/+95McCain: ‘I Received The Highest Award From Literally Every Veterans Organization In America’»
The recognition McCain has received from veterans groups is not "high awards" but failing grades:
— Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America gave McCain a grade of D for his record of voting against veterans. (By contrast, Obama got a B+.)
– Disabled Veterans of America noted McCain’s dismal 20 percent voting record on veterans’ issues. (Obama had an 80 percent.)
– In a list of "Key Votes," Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) notes McCain "Voted Against Us" 15 times and "Voted For Us" only 8. (Obama voted for VVA 12 times, and against only once.) - tbetz, on 07/08/2008, -5/+51One of these days, he's going to explode. The guy just can't stand looking at the truth in a mirror.
- flavioribeiro, on 07/09/2008, -9/+48Graduating 894th out of 899 from Annapolis, being an undisciplined student, a bad pilot, destroying 5 planes during training, getting shot down over Vietnam and being a POW doesn't make anyone a hero.
The man is a ***** liar. The way he treated his first wife is reason enough to reject him as a candidate. - inactive, on 07/08/2008, -6/+42Why does John McCain hate our vets?
- SoyJames, on 07/08/2008, -5/+34Start an email campaign and email this to all your friends and relatives. Spell it out for them. McCain's audience isn't going to surf over to DailyKOS to find out about his lies and deceit.
- MorganMghee, on 07/08/2008, -5/+33John still doesn't believe we can see or hear him.
- xenoc1de, on 07/09/2008, -4/+30– Disabled Veterans of America noted McCain’s dismal 20 percent voting record on veterans’ issues. (Obama had an 80 percent.)
I can't get over this. - inactive, on 07/08/2008, -5/+29Why won't they just let this confused old man go home?
- neognostic, on 07/08/2008, -2/+24Thanks @marabout40, I was about to dig the same info out that you posted. Pretty damning. He also voted against the GI reform bill, that would have given the current armed forces the same benefits he enjoyed when he was in the service, then claimed to have helped work hard on it.
- Yimyack, on 07/09/2008, -4/+24I just like how Republicans are so pompous that don't even care about when they are caught in lies. They've got this air of 'so what are you gonna do about it?'
Bush did it, Tricky Dick part duex does it constantly...now McCain. Kinda sad, used to like the guy. - Einchy, on 07/09/2008, -3/+19Someone needs to bring a TV with them so they can show everyone his lies when he is doing his whole "straight talk" BS.
- jmk4422, on 07/09/2008, -3/+16McCain's strategy during tough questioning is simple: Ramble. Just keep rambling on and pretend you're answering the question. Don't actually answer it, mind you, just act like you are and waste as much time as possible. Nine times out of ten the questioner will give up. For that rare one of ten person who's resilient enough to persist he will get "testy" (i.e. "pissed") like he does here.
Let's hold him to account though, people. If you ever get a chance to see him in a town hall, grow a pair and persist in your questioning. He hates it. - Cuchanu, on 07/08/2008, -5/+17Hey failing grades are ok as long as you don't drop out, right McCain?
- inactive, on 07/09/2008, -6/+18Anyone who votes for McCain is an *****.
- MJG2007, on 07/09/2008, -3/+15Without John McCain, the "Keating Five" would be known as the "Keating Four".
He's made a career out of convincing people he is something he really isn't. He isn't a "trailblazer" and his campaign should be called the "Double Talk Express".
Plus, he seems to be unable the grasp the world he inhabits in a way that makes me wonder if he hasn't gone a bit senile. - DrThunder, on 07/09/2008, -3/+15McCain doesn't what to give benefits to soldiers so they won't leave the military. That is cold.
- inactive, on 07/09/2008, -3/+15I guess he missed this group: http://www.vietnamveteransagainstjohnmccain.com/
- MorganMghee, on 07/09/2008, -3/+12Hard to get past the video though. I actually thought it was a spoof at first, a plug for Mccain, he was doing pretty good there for a while. But there whoomp there it is, and the flood of disparate contradictory facts...
- MJG2007, on 07/09/2008, -2/+10McCain is one of those people who cannot handle criticism even when it's deserved (in that respect the refrain of McSame is self-evident).
I wouldn't be surprised to find out they have to put him on sedatives to keep him from losing his temper every time someone questions him. It would certainly explain why he sounds like Grampa Simpson and why he seems to ramble on and on and sounds like he just got up out of bed. Even when he gives a prepared speech it is about as exciting as watching mold grow on cheese. - NelsonR, on 07/09/2008, -2/+10Now don't blame McCain. He thinks all vets are living in a the lap of luxury after marrying a rich multimillion dollar heiress. John we all didn't go down that path. Maverick my behind, he's Bush plain and simple, oh and elitist.
- VicHislop, on 07/09/2008, -2/+10At the end of the first video, I couldn't believe what a sarcastic prick he was being to the questioner. Seriously, can he not handle something as simple as being confronted with a question about clarification on his voting record?
- AtHomeBoy2000, on 07/08/2008, -4/+11whoh! really?
- cheezintern, on 07/09/2008, -2/+9Why does John McCain hate America?
- Matri, on 07/09/2008, -2/+9Well, if you ignore the ones who disagree with you, then you've got a perfect grade.
Simple, really. - MorganMghee, on 07/08/2008, -2/+8I'm sending to my local news stations, let's see which airs it.
- Stormwern, on 07/09/2008, -4/+10Maybe he got the awards 40 years ago. He should have run back then, hard to run on "I used to be respected".
- BizGirl1, on 07/09/2008, -5/+11Okay people. Let's be nice to the crypt keeper. A little dementia was bound to set in sooner or later. In Bush's case it was sooner.
- jmk4422, on 07/09/2008, -2/+7Wow. I read a lot of comments here on Digg. I rarely reply to any or offer my own. But what you just said? How can I not take this opportunity to ask this obvious question:
What was the number of the short-bus you rode to school everyday through 12th grade? Just curious. - Pittance, on 07/09/2008, -0/+5Mccain doesn't hate them. He just doesn't give a damn about anybody but himself and those who pay his checks. (note, the taxpayers do not count).
- Yimyack, on 07/09/2008, -2/+7I thought vampires didn't have reflections.
- Biohazard6601, on 07/09/2008, -10/+15lies from a republican? really? i never would've thought... oh what about oil in Iraq?
- inactive, on 07/09/2008, -6/+11Hey *****,
Take your bumper sticker Republican talking points and go ***** yourself.
Just because you were too dumb to realize that voting for Bush would be a disaster, doesn't mean we have to respect your ignorant ass. - sizzzzlerz, on 07/09/2008, -5/+9Yeah, teh truth. It burns!
- inactive, on 07/09/2008, -2/+6That's ok, we know you're a moron.
- nailedtonothing, on 07/09/2008, -0/+4As a veteran of the Iraq War, I give John McCain an F. How does a man who claims to support veterans turn down increases in veterans benefits at every corner only to protect the profiteering of the private contracting firms and the highest earning businesses in America?
- DrThunder, on 07/09/2008, -3/+6"Marxist like Obama" ?
Obama is a very middle of the road Democrat not this leftist socialist Fox News tries to depict him as.
It is funny how today Obama is the most Liberal member of the senate according to the right and four years ago it was Kerry. Weird how that works. - radiantstorm, on 07/09/2008, -0/+3The old goat will say A N Y T H I N G to win votes.
- bshock, on 07/09/2008, -1/+4I don't really think you can say that McCain "lied." To lie, you actually have to understand what you're saying.
- inactive, on 07/09/2008, -4/+7Get your head out of your ass and get off the liberals vs. conservative *****. The lesser of two evils is still evil. Ever heard of the tactic of divide and conquer? Do a little research and see how you're being played.
So, do you vote for Satan or his next in line? Either way, you end up with the same result.
There is no doubt that the activities to dumb down our population have succeeded. I read comments such as yours and cringe. - inactive, on 07/09/2008, -3/+6He didn't destroy five planes during training.. he destroyed them over the totality of his military career. He was still a ***** pilot when he was actually out there doing the job.
- karmicwizard, on 07/10/2008, -0/+2McCain 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.
- cheezintern, on 07/09/2008, -2/+4yup they got 'em....oh wait, that's WMD's
- CoolHandLuke70, on 07/09/2008, -1/+3McDouche!
- interbeing, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2Wow, you are a ***** moron, you started out ranting about Obama and it somehow turned into a hit piece on Noam Chomsky. It's true that you might not agree with what Chomsky has to say, but I can guarantee you that his work is far more fact based and cited than whatever right wing hate blog you happen to have copy and pasted your "observations" from.
- normalkid0615, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2ron paul? still?
- stinkymonkey, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2Blugill, how is Obama Marxist? I guarantee you will not reply.
- Yimyack, on 07/09/2008, -1/+3The president shouldn't regurgitate.
- homah, on 07/09/2008, -1/+2ffs this isn't a party issue. THEY ALL LIE.
- stinkymonkey, on 07/09/2008, -1/+2And you got my vote for the mental Hospital.
- Pittance, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1Good effort, but good luck. Your news stations dont take the internet seriously. They still think its for the 100,000 geeks that live in this country. Instead of the 100,000,000+ average people who surf daily. (numbers were conservative).
