Veterans' group gives Obama a much better grade than McCain....Freepers go postal.
These are responses in a thread about Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America Action Fund's grades for senators, which gave Obama a "B" and McCrazy a "D".

:P



This is a real barf alert. The left has no shame. They really think people are idiots.

Any true veteran loathes Obama. After all, military service involves honor, integrity, and the ability to perform actions to perfection.

Ridiculous.

DeMint is one of the only Senators with intact values and a clear conscience. Even folks who don’t agree with him have to respect that.

This leftist group used to be called Operation Truth. Same old crap. New more “patriotic” wrapper.

“IAVA did not credit McCain for the bill he sponsored with Graham and Burr because the group opposed it and threw its full support behind Webb’s bill. “

Then they are useful tools promoting Democrats and not policy. Soviet agitprop at its finest.

Anyone who tells you he is ‘influential’ probably isn’t.

Here’s all any Conservative needs to know about Barrack Hussein Obama:

Special Interest Group Ratings:

Planned Parenthood - 100% Support
National Right To Life - 0% Support
NARAL - 100% Support
Americans for Tax Reform - 0% Support
ACLU - 83% Support
NEA - 100% Support
NOW Hags - 100% Support
Citizens Against Government Waste - 13% Support
Gun Owners of America - 0% Support
NRA - “F” Rating
Federation for American Immigration Reform - 0% Support
US Border Patrol - 8% Support
Unions - 82% - 100% Support
Population Connection - 100% Support (These are the ‘Zero Growth’ freaks)

- Opposed the Defense of Marriage Act; would work to repeal it in the U.S. Senate; would not vote for any legislation that would restrict the ability of gays and lesbians to marry.
- Opposed the Born Alive Infant Protection Act four times in Illinois. A similar bill passed the U.S. Senate 98-0. The Born Alive bill would have prohibited a baby from being born alive but left to die according to the mother’s wishes. Obama inexplicably opposed this bill not once, twice, or three times, but four times.
- Obama took almost $90,000 in bundled contributions from the Council for a Livable World. The council is a well-known anti-defense organization.
- Obama puts rigid ideology before what’s best for the people of Illinois, and presumably he would do that as President as well. He has on several occasions made public his opposition to the NAFTA trade agreement and his belief that it must be negotiated. All the while thanks to NAFTA, Illinois exports $1.3 billion in agricultural goods to Canada.
- Obama refused to vote for a bill in the Illinois State Senate that would have increased penalties for drug traffickers.
- Obama voted against a bill that would have delivered the death penalty to gang members who murder first responders.
- Finally, just in case you thought it couldn’t get any worse, Obama was the only member of the Illinois State Senate to vote against a bill that prohibited early release for sexual predators.

Can’t kill the innocent fast enough, can’t free the guilty soon enough!

Here’s all any Conservative needs to know about Joe Biden:

Special Interest Group Ratings:

National Right to Life: 0%
Sportsmen and Animals Alliance: 0%
The Humane Society: 100%
National Tax Limitation Committee: “F” Grade
Americans for Tax Reform: 10%
National Association of Manufacturers: 0%
ACLU: 92 - 100%
NAACP: 100%
Iranian American PAC: 100%
NEA: A+ Rating (Teacher’s Union)
League of Conservation Voters: 100%
Family Research Council: “O” Rating
Citizen’s for Global Solutions: A+ Rating
Jews for Peace in Palestine & Israel: -1%
Brady Campaign: 95-100% (Gun Grabbers)
NRA: “F” Rating
American Immigration Lawyers Association: 100%
AFL-CIO: 100% (Near 100% ratings on ALL Unions)
Center for Security Policy: 21%
Population Connection: 100% (These are the ‘Zero-Growth’ freaks)
All “End Poverty Now By Throwing Money Down a Rathole” groups: 100%

This guy is to the LEFT of Obama, if you can imagine it!

Another astroturf artifact to wave in front of the peasants. I wonder how many will actually believe any of this?

Influential, non-partisan my rear end. Needs a huge BS meter on this one.
The truth is this, John McCain is having Sarah Palin revamp her vaunted Moose hunting skills into the biggest Jack-Ass hunt of all time. And there's nothing but a target rich environment for her with the MSM and in Washington, DC.


Knock 'em down, field dress 'em, skin 'em, and send what's left packin'.


SARAH PALIN IS DRAWING HUGE CROWDS AT RALLIES ALL ACROSS THE NATION

They are leftist shell organizations meant to play the old soviet role of providing disinformation to the public.

8. I am a Veteran that supports Obama and
agree that Obama deserves a much better grade than McSame. I find it unbelievable how little McSame supports his fellow Veterans. I can see where one might think otherwise but McSame's voting record indisputably speaks for itself.

13. These people are willing to let our sons, daughters, aunts, uncles, mothers, fathers stay
in Iraq indefinitely if it furthers their political agenda. They are anti-American scumbags.

15. That's pretty funny
when most of these keyboard kommando cowards wouldn't actually go into the military.
