Just because Lil' Bush says it, doesn't make it so

At a town hall meeting in Denver on Monday, a Vietnam veteran called-out Lil' Bush on his shameful voting record against veterans. But, you don't do that to John McCain. He was a POW and he can shit on veterans all he wants. Or better yet, he will just lie about it. Here's part of what he fired back at the vet.;
"I’ve received every award from every major veteran’s organization in America. I received every organization in America their awards. … The reason why I have a perfect voting record from organizations like the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion and all the other veterans service organizations is because of my support of them."
McCain knows full well he received a 'D' from the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, a 20 percent vote rating from the Disabled Veterans of America and the Vietnam Veterans of America have complained about McCain voting against them in 15 “key votes.”

Veterans need to know the truth about John McCain's record of voting against them.

Most of us do. A lot of you don't.

Here's video of the vet's slap-down of McCain from Think Progress.

So, did you watch the video? That vet was prepared for the little liar wasn't he? Had all the Senate Bills ... 'the specific votes, the numbers to votes', for the four years in row (2003-2006) he voted against veterans.

But the part I like is when McCain later admits that he does “not have a perfect voting record,” but then declared that questions about veterans issues were off limits: “I will be glad to debate a lot of things, but not that one.”

He doesn't want to talk about it. He doesn't want people to realize he very strangely, hates veterans.

And oh yeah, by the way, Barack Obama got a 'B+' from the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, and a 80 percent vote rating from the Disabled Veterans of America.

Funny how that always seems to be the case.
