Election 2008

Some of us had this discussion a few months ago about McCain being a POW and a vet. Some of you didn't like the idea that I was put offish about his status being more concerned about what he did in office as opposed to what he did during the war. Fine...cool. BUT...like I said, you served your country years ago...what are you doing NOW.

Just did a lil digging and what I find is bothersome. For someone that has the status and position to do something for those that has been in some of the same situations as he is/was....he looks like he doesn't show any love for fellow vets.

the link shows in numerous cases, he has voted against bills that in many cases could probably help a lot of vets and even voted FOR a bill that would outsouce jobs from Walter P Reed Medical Center.

Here is the link: http://www.aflcio.org/issues/politics/mccain_vets.cfm

Status doesn't mean everything....

I'm so glad McCain & Obama put their crap aside today and will not be showing their negative ads on TV.

Yes, but wouldn't it be better if they just stopped showing their negative ads all together? I think that would be a much honorable way to pay homage to the victims of 9/11

I wish. Frankly, I'd be so much happier right now if I didn't have to endure their ads everytime I watch TV or listen to the radio. Still, I understand why they are playing them but I don't have to like them. Other than the news, I DVR most of my shows and then forward through the commercials.


One last note, I really thought that neither candidate was going to speak at any of the events today but I saw John McCain speaking at one of them (not sure if Obama spoke).
