On a previous blog I talked about the new GI Bill. Well the final votes from both houses of Congress are in. I can't believe it but John McCain didn't even bother to show up to vote and I'm ashamed to say that both of Utah's Senators and all three Congressmen voted against it! How in the hell can you claim you support the troops and veterans but the Democrats don't and then turn around and NOT EVEN VOTE, much less vote against something that HELPS veterans?! The icing on the cake is McCain's response to Obama's criticism of his no vote. McCain said that he won't listen to anything Obama says about veterans issues because he never served in the military. Ummm....what kind of shitty answer is that?! Thats like saying no one can criticize politicians (or anything else) unless you are or have been one! Not to mention McCain didn't even say why he thought his campaign events were more important than a vote on veterans benefits. But he still supports the troops.....*cough* bull shit *cough*
