I see what you’re doing, Jeff — going on different blogs and saying the same thing over & over. Well, guess what? I’ll respond to your ill-informed non-sense that same way, too: The reason McCain did not/does not support the latest iteration of the GI Bill is because it allows for military members to get full scholarship and other benefits after only serving 3 years in the military. This version also allows for those 3 years to be in non-combat billets, meaning that a 3-year desk job in South Dakota or Virginia can get a serviceman or woman a full scholarship without even having been in combat. This Bill is not only costly, but it also encourages military members to get out after only 3 years service. It is a great inducement by the liberals in Congress to gain the favors of the young veterans, but it is an unfair proposal. My father served 20 years in the Navy, including on a patrol boat on the dangerous Mekong Delta during Vietnam. He’s 100% disabled from his service in the military and from having been sprayed all over his body with Agent Orange. He deserved his GI Bill, which he used to go to school after he retired. Webb’s GI Bill is not fair to those like my father and others who actually served, or are serving, in combat. That’s why McCain didn’t support the latest GI Bill. Get your facts straight before you try to discredit the honorable veteran.

To those of you who have family, friends, or relatives in the Armed Forces serving in Afghanistan or Iraq. It is imperative that I mention these facts below to you. I welcome you all to do your own research on this or Google it.

For a man to be an ex POW in Vietnam who has endured so much torture and punishment and who promotes “Country First” on his campaign, his history should lead him to do better for his fellow men and women in the Armed Forces but here are the FACTS below —

1) For every GI Bill that is proposed to Congress in favor of more spending for the protection of our troops, both in Afghanistan and Iraq, McCain has voted AGAINST it and Obama has voted FOR it.
2) For every GI Bill that is proposed to Congress in favor of deploying more armor and artillery for our troops, both in Afghanistan and Iraq, McCain has voted AGAINST it and Obama has voted FOR it.
3) For every GI Bill that is proposed to Congress in favor of giving more compensation and more medical benefits to our injured troops returning from Afghanistan and Iraq, McCain has voted AGAINST it and Obama has voted FOR it.
4) For every GI Bill that is proposed to Congress in favor of giving more compensation to our veterans of all the past wars, McCain has voted AGAINST it and Obama has voted FOR it.

Please look over these FACTS and do your own research. For a man to promote character, wisdom, and the love for his country; the facts don’t coincide with this man.

This Election 2008 is a colorless election. It is about two human beings that want to lead our country, either in the right direction or in the wrong direction. We have lived the wrong direction for 8 years and have been in the wrong side of history throughout that time. Do we want to live it again?

Like “good” Communists, they do not support the freedoms of those whose political philosophies vary from their own – democracy…for some. Their goal (whatever lunacy it might be) is to be achieved at any cost – whatever means to an end.

I thought the polite indifference with which John McCain handled these wing nuts was marvelous. The affable smile and patient waiting for the events to run their course spoke volumes about the classiness of the guy (and by association) the assembled masses.

As I recall, it was the evil Karl Rove who came up with the idea of chanting “U.S.A.! U.S.A..!” during similar outbreaks in 2004 convention, was it not?

Now you want to talk troubling, I have an 80-year-old mother who lives in San Francisco, is a member of Code Pink, loves Obama, and went on a couple of those take-off-all-your-clothes-to-end-an-unjust-war demonstrations they held a couple of years ago..

..I have sought professional help and my therapist says I should be o.k., thank you for asking.

Shandee: I have never condemned Bristol Palin, nor her mother on the pregnancy issue. What I condemn is the utter hypocrisy of the Christianist lunatics who are holding her out as a paragon of virtue because of her daughter's pregnancy. For more specifics, read here and here. I have a 21 year-old daughter. If she had become pregnant at 17 I'd be doing the same thing as Palin. Standing by my kid. My comment wasn't about Palin, it was about hypocrisy. Honesty is calling it when you see it, not just when it's done by the "other side." Note my blasting the left-fringe wackos, which I've done repeatedly on my site, as well as calling BS on "liberal" bloggers. It's about integrity, not ideology.

Bill Nance I don’t understand why a person who believes and teaches family values can’t have a daughter who makes a mistake? Isn’t it just a guideline? You can only hope your kids will take the things you teach them into adulthood. Why is that so far right?

I decided to quit responding to those like rotwang. What’s the point of arguing with someone with a mental disorder?? Why waste your time??

My wife and I were watching McCain’s speech on two different channels: NBC and FoxNews (don’t ask why) while listening to the NBC feed. My point is that while FoxNews avoided showing the Code Pink nutcases, NBC showed both of them.

The rent-a-crowd (who couldn’t even identify famous politicians, including famous liberal pols) were paid off, just like that retired General who couldn’t defend Obama when grilled by Meghan of Fox News.
