Why Won't McCain Sign the GI Bill?

Back




Faced with unprecedented filibusters, the only way to ensure Senate passage of the GI Bill is to get 60 co-sponsors. So far, John McCain has refused. The same McCain who insists he supports our troops. The same McCain who is voting lockstep with the Bush administration (who have also resisted this bill). We need to get John McCain to lead -- to sign now and signal to other Republican leaders that we should be strongly behind our vets.

Sign the petition demanding John McCain sign on as a co-sponsor to The Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act (S.22 & H.R.2702):

Frank Rich on Media Bias:

In six weeks of TV news reports this summer, Obama's coverage was 28 percent positive, 72 percent negative. (For McCain, the split was 43/57.) Even McCain's most blatant confusions, memory lapses and outright lies still barely cause a ripple, whether he's railing against a piece of pork he in fact voted for, as he did at Saddleback, or falsifying crucial details of his marital history in his memoirs, as The Los Angeles Times uncovered in court records last month.

McCain is a pig. If it does not have pork in it for his rich friends he is against it.

Mission Statement of Vietnam Vets AGAINST MCCAIN:

"Vietnam Veterans Against John McCain was formed to dispel the myth of "Straight talkin', principled, maverick war hero" John McCain. Through more than two decades of investigation of his behavior,... we have come to the unavoidable conclusion that he is unfit by virtue of his temperament, character, dishonesty, and emotional instability to serve as President of the United States or in any other position of public trust."

thats true My Grandfather met his wingman whe n MCcain was shot down and he said he was an errigant, stuck up, cocky jerk who thought he knew everything just because his father was a Adimaral.

So you know:
McCain placed more than 100 American troops in Iraq into deadly danger as he used them for human body sheilds as he strolled around a Baghdad market. If any had died, it would have been his fault.

McCain has publicly stated the reason he is against benefits for our troops is because they won't stay in the military.

McCain received a grade of D from the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America

McCain recieved a 20 percent vote rating from the Disabled Veterans of America
