According to the Veterans for Common Sense website, Senator John McCain voted AGAINST veteran's benefits.

Now he says, according to CNN, that "not taking proper care of veterans is a national 'disgrace'".

Will the real John McCain please stand up?

And like any piece of legislation in the Senate, there are tons of pork barrel useless crap that gets loaded on...could this possibly be the reason why??

Or could it have been a BAD piece of legislation???

Yeah....

I got a letter from the VA saying if I wanted $400,000 worth of life insurance, it will cost me $638 a month. I'm paying $29 a month through the US Navy's SGLI program for a $400,000 policy.

Gee...I wonder what I should do......? <sarcasm>

Former General Wesley Clark accuses him of this as well, according to CNN:

Senator McCain won't sign 21st Century GI Bill, according to Senator Jim Webb's site (link from senate.gov):

According to the site, 'Sen. John Warner (R-Va.), the former chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, signed on as a co-sponsor earlier this month.'

Of course John McCain doesn't care about veterans. And neither do Barack or Hilary. This is why they're applying for the job of POTUS.
