As you can see his record is less than stellar, Y = Yes, N = NO and NV = No Vote He claims that veterans overwhelmingly support him for President, my only question is why? He does not support them as this record shows.
Then for giggles I thought I would also post the voting record from the Disabled American Veterans for the other Presidential Candidate Barack Obama

I realize this is a lot of data to comprehend, it took me about 3 hours to dig it out, but if I could do it, why hasn't any of the MSM reporters bothered to do it? Would it keep them from being invited to sit up front on the new "Straight Talk Airplane" and listen to Senator McCain, Senator Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman swap BS stories about how much they help veterans and the troops.
UPDATE: I highlighted Senator McCains votes to make it easier to read.
From these voting records it is obvious to me that senator Obama stands with and for the veterans and their families, Senator Mccain's record shows him to be a blow hard, he claims to support the troops and veterans, but his votes do not match his rhetoric, it appears he is just like President george W. Bush, claims to have compassion for the veterans, but when it comes time to fund them, it's like nyaahhhh we can't afford it. Senator Mccain you need to be renamed Senator McShame.
