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

McCain likes to talk about how he's was a tortured vet, so that means he's good on veteran's issues. No, it means he was a tortured vet. In order to see how good McCain actually is on veterans' issues, you need to look at his actual voting record on those issues. Just last month, McCain opposed the new GI Bill for our vets because he thought it was too generous. Too generous? What's too generous for our troops who are willing to die for our freedom? Well you'd have to ask John McCain, because he's the one who said it. In the end, the bill became law anyway, in spite of John McCain's and George Bush's objections. But McCain, the guy who never misses a chance to say how HE'S the one who supports the troops the most, didn't even bother showing up for the vote on the GI Bill. He was busy going to fundraisers in Los Angeles at the time (hope he wasn't in Hollywood). Much more important. Never forget that fact - when our troops needed John McCain, he didn't even bother showing up. I'd say that maybe he was at the gym playing basketball instead, but, I'm gonna go with water aerobics.
