     As far as McCain’s oft-repeated claim of having a “perfect voting record” from veteran’s organizations:

 

·        Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America gave McCain a grade of D for his record of voting against veterans (Obama got a B+), while the Disabled Veterans of America gave McCain a 20% vote rating. The Vietnam Veterans of America compiled a list of key votes, and found McCain voted against the group’s position 15 times and with the group eight times. (Obama, in contrast, voted with the VVA 12 times, and against it only once.)”

 

·        “As for the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars — with whom McCain claims to have a ‘perfect voting record’--both groups vigorously supported Sen. Jim Webb’s (D-VA) GI Bill that McCain tirelessly opposed.”

 

     As a veteran myself, I ask you to check out John McCain’s record on veteran support.

Veterans should not vote for McCain just because he is a veteran--any more than senior citizens should vote for him because he is old. Check out his record. What you will find is a lying, two-faced hypocrite.
