Please excuse my failure to disguise disgust towards this guy….

At a VFW in Kansas City, Missouri, McCain called our countries care of it’s veterans a disgrace. That’s certainly true. Who would argue otherwise?

He went on to say that if he’s elected, McCain will do everything within his power to ensure that veterans receive “the highest quality health, mental health and rehabilitative care in the world.”

Excuse me, Sen. McCain. May I remind you for a moment that you:

• Voted AGAINST an amendment providing $20 billion to the VA’s medical facilities. [5/4/06]
• Voted AGAINST providing $430 million to the VA for outpatient care “and treatment for veterans,” one of only 13 senators to do so. [4/26/06]
• Voted AGAINST increasing VA funding by $1.5 billion by closing corporate loopholes. [3/14/06]
• Voted AGAINST increasing VA funding by $1.8 billion by ending “abusive tax loopholes.” [3/10/04]
• Voted AGAINST a $650 million increase in veterans’ medical care funding. [8/1/01]

If he didn’t vote for the care of our nation’s veterans in the past, why would he endorse it as the President?

Food for thought.
