About McCain:
His voting record should be front and center but the heart-string-pulling stories are what the American people get their feelings worked up over.
Apparently many like being told warm and fuzzy flag wrapped stories with which to shape their views rather than the cold hard truth about McCain; as evidenced last night at the RNC.
His "Nay" and "Not Voting" on Veteran's Issues are where we get a better idea of who he really is:
– Voted AGAINST an amendment providing $20 billion to the VA’s medical facilities. [5/4/06]
– Voted AGAINST providing $430 million to the VA for outpatient care “and treatment for veterans,” one of only 13 senators to do so. [4/26/06]
– Voted AGAINST increasing VA funding by $1.5 billion by closing corporate loopholes. [3/14/06]
– Voted AGAINST increasing VA funding by $1.8 billion by ending “abusive tax loopholes.” [3/10/04]
