AMERICAblog: Make sure you ask McCain why he opposed the GI Bill - he didn't even vote for it

  • tlsintx · 1 year ago
    only a GOPer asshole with a rich wife and 8 or 9 houses would say the GI bill for veterans is too generous.

    He just thinks they should get their own "Sugary Honey" like he did.

    Hey, if he can do it anyone can!

    Hey! A little sympathy for a senior. Don't you know the values for those houses are falling like a stone? Why he's even having trouble paying taxes on one!

    That's easy. You are only considered a "war hero" in Republican eyes if you've milked government benefits for 20 years while in the military during peacetime, and end up serving your country during war as a POW (well, except for 20 hours of flight time). If there is one thing the conservatives celebrate, it's imprisonment.

    Isn't that, after all, what the whole eventual concept of the Great Wall to Keep The Brown People Out is all about? They'll sell it to us as keeping others out, and eventually use it to keep us all IN.

    Yeah, the MSM will ask Obama "why he doesn't support the surge" until they're blue in the face, but I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for them to ask McCain THAT question. Pass the barbeque and donuts, please.

    If the truth every comes out it will be immediately covered up with the righty talkers with how liberalism destroyed America.

    He is also responsible for sealing the POW records. Just search him on google and look at the POW families who want to stone him.

    Where are the Obama ads outlining this? We need to FIGHT.
  • gwpriester · 1 year ago
    It's pretty obvious what the McCain campaign is going to be. An all out assault of swift boats. One after another after another.

    The temptation is to return the favor. Except instead of lies and distortions, focus on the truth.
  • FunMe · 1 year ago
    You post got me thinking. Perhaps an Obama ad goes something like this:

    "Are you tired of the LIES of McCain especially in his ads.

    When McCain runs his ads, he resorts to lying:

    Case:
    Fact:
    (name 2-3 examples)

    The reality is this:
    When Obama runs ads he will tell you the truth about McCain:

    Case: McCain says he supports the troops.
    Fact: He voted (actually he did not vote for the bill that would help veterans.
    (name 2-3 examples)

    VOTE OBAMA 2008!

    Let's just hope more indictments come down on the heads of these bastards...and I'll bet there something, somewhere on McBush, too.

    He got away with a slap on the wrist for the S&L debacle, and that's fair game for the Dems. We need to stop being so nicey-nice and bring out the big guns.

    " I'd say that maybe he was at the gym playing basketball instead, but, I'm gonna go with water aerobics."

    Weeeeeeeell,, that's a stretch.

    He was actually taking a lot of those dolls that Mrs. McDruggie gave him to ease the pain he was having with that pimple. Turns out it was not a pimple!

    As McCrazyCain says: "stay out of the sun!" Isn't that supporting the troops?
  • KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago
    When, when, WHEN will the Obama campaign wrap his shrivelled ballsack around that wrinkly neck of his on this issue--there is enough McCain anti-veteran voting record material for a dozen spot ads!

    in a strange twist of fate... the Ace Hardware in Hillcrest (SD's gay ghetto) is claiming their exploded paint cans look like a Jackson Pollock painting... they're keeping it.

    When is Obama going to start fighting back? There is so much ammunition out there to use against mcshame and they won't even have to lie or make stuff up! You can't make some of this s**t up! The mcshame campaign keeps throwing stuff out there, true or not, and Obama sits back and won't do anything. I am growing so upset by Obama and his advisors. When are they planning on starting to fight back? The idiot people out there only remember the mcshame ads and if Obama doesn't start rebutting some of the lies the idiots will get the idea that the lies really are true. If Obama isn't going to dispute them they must be true. What the f**k is Axelrod et al doing? What are they waiting for? They don't even have to look for things to throw at mcshame. It keeps falling at their feet.

    BTW the talking heads are beginning to explode trying to figure out who Obama is picking as VP. No one yet meets with their (talking heads) approval. lol Wish the Democrats would just say who they have picked and let's get on with it. What's the big mystery? Wanna bet mcshame will chicken out of the debates? He knows he is no match for Obama. Or does he.

    My feeling, or at least my hope, is Obama's waiting until the debates to nail McCain on issues such as these. We all know McCain is going to try to appear as the wiser, elder statesman during the debates, be as condescending as he possibly can, pat Obama on the head and tell him to run along and let the grownups handle things. What Obama does need to do is point out EVERY time McCain contradicted his own statements regarding support for the troops, contradicted his own record on voting, or NOT voting in the Senate for support for veterans. And we all know there's a endless supply of examples where McCain contradicted himself and completely distorted the truth about statements or votes he's made. McCain will say or do anything at this point, then deny he said it, then claim he always said it but never said it, if it means a vote. What Obama needs to do is let McCain keep giving himself all the rope he needs to hang himself. I think the reaction to ads like the like one regading visiting the troops was so over the top, the msm is starting to see this miserable s.o.b. for who he really is. He's sold his soul, if he ever had one to sell.

    Once again! When McCain was mouthing off to the media this week, why didn't someone have the balls to bring it up?
