John McCain hates veterans. |
Edited on Sat Sep-13-08 01:21 AM by Elwood P Dowd
From Huffington, Vote Smart, DAV, and others........
Before the 2006 congressional elections, Disabled American Veterans published a list of how members of Congress voted on veterans legislation. The DAV rates each member of Congress from 0 - 100 on supporting "the interests of American veterans." I looked down the DAV's list of Republicans and their ratings, and I was overcome with revulsion when I saw just how much they do not care about veterans. John McCain's score for 2005 was 25 out of 100. In 2006, it was worse: he got a 20. It took my breath away. When it comes to caring for American veterans, John McCain and the Republicans are a total sellout. 284 Republican congressmen and senators were rated by the DAV for 2005. This was when the Republicans controlled both the House and Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, so don't ever tell me that Larry Craig and Steve Buyer were overly concerned about our needs. The highest score the DAV gave any Republican was 83. No Republican had a 100 rating, none were in the nineties. None in the seventies, one at 60 and six at 50. That's a total of eight Republicans--out of 284--that supported veterans' issues more than 50% of the time. That's a whopping 2.8% of all the Republicans in the Congress. 200 Republican got 0 ratings!! Thus, 70.4% of the Republican members of Congress got zero ratings from the DAV when it came to truly supporting America's veterans. In 2005, Barack Obama was rated at 92. In 2006, Obama was an 80. The DAV rated 239 Democrats on how they voted on veterans' issues in 2005. 154 were rated by the DAV at 100. That's 64.4% of the Democrats in the Congress, versus 0% of the Republicans. Thirteen Democratic members of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee were rated by the DAV in 2005. Nine were rated at 100, three were at 80, and one was at 60, the lowest rating of any Democrat in the Congress. Of the twelve Republicans on the House Committee who were rated, eleven were rated at zero, one was rated at 20. Thus, the average Democrat on the House Committee was rated at 92; the average Republican was rated at 1.66. In the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, the average score of the eight Republicans on the Committee in 2005 was a lowly 40.7, while the five Democrats' and the one Independent's average was 92. Here's what McCain has done for veterans recently: ● Did not support new GI bill legislation because he thought it was too generous and would result in soldiers choosing to go to school instead of reenlisting. This bill passed 75-22 and McCain was one of three Senators who didn't show up to vote. Only after the bill was attached to the war funding request of the Bush administration, did McCain vote for the Webb bill. All 22 votes against the bill were by Republicans. ● Voted against providing at least $19 billion for military health facilities, paid for by eliminating tax cuts for the wealthy. ● Voted against providing $2.8 billion to increase veterans' medical care. ● Voted against establishing a $1 billion trust fund to provide improvements to health facilities that treat veterans and military personnel paid for by allowing dividends and capital gains tax breaks, for those with incomes greater than $1 million, to lapse. ● Voted against increasing medical services to veterans by $1.5 billion in 2007, paid for by closing corporate tax loopholes. ● In April 2006, McCain was one of 13 Senators to vote against $430 million for medical services for VA outpatient care and treatment for veterans. Despite his vote against, it passed overwhelmingly, 84-13. All 13 voting against were Republicans. http://www.votesmart.org/issue_rating_detail.php?r_id=1898 Disabled American Veterans Rating 2005 State Office District Name Party Rating AK U.S. House At-Large Donald Young Republican 0 AK U.S. Senate Sr Ted Stevens Republican 33 AK U.S. Senate Jr Lisa Murkowski Republican 42 AL U.S. House 1 Josiah Bonner Republican 0 AL U.S. House 2 Terry Everett Republican 0 AL U.S. House 3 Michael Rogers Republican 0 AL U.S. House 4 Robert Aderholt Republican 0 AL U.S. House 5 Robert Cramer Democratic 40 AL U.S. House 6 Spencer Bachus Republican 0 AL U.S. House 7 Artur Davis Democratic 100 AL U.S. Senate Sr Richard Shelby Republican 33 AL U.S. Senate Jr Jefferson Sessions Republican 33 AR U.S. House 1 Robert Berry Democratic 80 AR U.S. House 2 Victor Snyder Democratic 100 AR U.S. House 3 John Boozman Republican 0 AR U.S. House 4 Mike Ross Democratic 80 AR U.S. Senate Sr Blanche Lincoln Democratic 92 AR U.S. Senate Jr Mark Pryor Democratic 92 AZ U.S. House 1 Richard Renzi Republican 0 AZ U.S. House 2 Trent Franks Republican 0 AZ U.S. House 3 John Shadegg Republican 0 AZ U.S. House 4 Ed Pastor Democratic 100 AZ U.S. House 6 Jeff Flake Republican 0 AZ U.S. House 7 Raúl Grijalva Democratic 100 AZ U.S. Senate Sr John McCain Republican 25 AZ U.S. Senate Jr Jon Kyl Republican 42 CA U.S. House 1 Michael Thompson Democratic 60 CA U.S. House 2 Walter Herger Republican 0 CA U.S. House 3 Daniel Lungren Republican 0 CA U.S. House 4 John Doolittle Republican 0 CA U.S. House 5 Doris Matsui Democratic 100 CA U.S. House 6 Lynn Woolsey Democratic 80 CA U.S. House 7 George Miller Democratic 100 CA U.S. House 8 Nancy Pelosi Democratic 100 CA U.S. House 9 Barbara Lee Democratic 80 CA U.S. House 10 Ellen Tauscher Democratic 100 CA U.S. House 13 Fortney Stark Democratic 80 CA U.S. House 14 Anna Eshoo Democratic 100 CA U.S. House 15 Michael Honda Democratic 100 CA U.S. House 16 Zoe Lofgren Democratic 100 CA U.S. House 17 Sam Farr Democratic 100 CA U.S. House 18 Dennis Cardoza Democratic 60 CA U.S. House 19 George Radanovich Republican 0 CA U.S. House 20 Jim Costa Democratic 60 CA U.S. House 21 Devin Nunes Republican 0 CA U.S. House 23 Lois Capps Democratic 100 CA U.S. House 24 Elton Gallegly Republican 0 CA U.S. House 25 Howard McKeon Republican 0 CA U.S. House 26 David Dreier Republican 0 CA U.S. House 27 Brad Sherman Democratic 100 CA U.S. House 28 Howard Berman Democratic 100 CA U.S. House 29 Adam Schiff Democratic 100 CA U.S. House 30 Henry Waxman Democratic 80 CA U.S. House 31 Xavier Becerra Democratic 100 CA U.S. House 32 Hilda Solis Democratic 100 CA U.S. House 33 Diane Watson Democratic 100 CA U.S. House 34 Lucille Roybal-Allard Democratic 100 CA U.S. House 35 Maxine Waters Democratic 80 CA U.S. House 36 Jane Harman Democratic 80 CA U.S. House 38 Grace Napolitano Democratic 100 CA U.S. House 39 Linda Sánchez Democratic 100 CA U.S. House 40 Edward Royce Republican 0 CA U.S. House 41 Jerry Lewis Republican 0 CA U.S. House 42 Gary Miller Republican 0 CA U.S. House 43 Joe Baca Democratic 100 CA U.S. House 44 Ken Calvert Republican 0 CA U.S. House 45 Mary Bono Mack Republican 0 CA U.S. House 46 Dana Rohrabacher Republican 0 CA U.S. House 47 Loretta Sanchez Democratic 80 CA U.S. House 49 Darrell Issa Republican 0 CA U.S. House 51 Bob Filner Democratic 80 CA U.S. House 52 Duncan Hunter Republican 0 CA U.S. House 53 Susan Davis Democratic 100 CA U.S. Senate Sr Dianne Feinstein Democratic 92 CA U.S. Senate Jr Barbara Boxer Democratic 92 CO U.S. House 1 Diana DeGette Democratic 100 CO U.S. House 2 Mark Udall Democratic 100 CO U.S. House 3 John Salazar Democratic 60 CO U.S. House 4 Marilyn Musgrave Republican 0 CO U.S. House 6 Tom Tancredo Republican 0 CO U.S. Senate Sr Wayne Allard Republican 33 CO U.S. Senate Jr Ken Salazar Democratic 92 CT U.S. House 1 John Larson Democratic 80 CT U.S. House 3 Rosa DeLauro Democratic 100 CT U.S. House 4 Christopher Shays Republican 20 CT U.S. Senate Sr Christopher Dodd Democratic 92 CT U.S. Senate Jr Joseph Lieberman Independent Democrat 75 DE U.S. House At-Large Michael Castle Republican 0 DE U.S. Senate Sr Joseph Biden Democratic 92 DE U.S. Senate Jr Thomas Carper Democratic 92 FL U.S. House 1 Jeff Miller Republican 0 FL U.S. House 2 Allen Boyd Democratic 80 FL U.S. House 3 Corrine Brown Democratic 100 FL U.S. House 4 Ander Crenshaw Republican 0 FL U.S. House 5 Virginia Brown-Waite Republican 0 FL U.S. House 6 Clifford Stearns Republican 0 FL U.S. House 7 John Mica Republican 0 FL U.S. House 8 Ric Keller Republican 0 FL U.S. House 10 C.
