Webb On McCain: “He’s So Full Of It!”
Our troops deserve better than this! For all his talk, you would think McCain would know better. This is so tragic.
I really thought John McCain was a better man than this. But he’s no different than your typical republican scum. These men will continue to suffer… to do without… in the name of shitty republican politics. These people make me so sick.
GI bill sparks Senate war
From Annapolis to Vietnam and back to the Pentagon, John McCain and Jim Webb trod the same paths before coming to the Senate. Iraq divides them today, but there’s also the new kinship of being anxious fathers watching their sons come and go with Marine units in the war.
So what does it say about Washington that two such men, with so much in common, are locked in an increasingly intense debate over a shared value: education benefits for veterans? [...]
“There are fundamental differences,” McCain told Politico. “He creates a new bureaucracy and new rules. His bill offers the same benefits whether you stay three years or longer. We want to have a sliding scale to increase retention. I haven-t been in Washington, but my staff there said that his has not been eager to negotiate.”
“He’s so full of it,” Webb said in response. “I have personally talked to John three times. I made a personal call to [McCain aide] Mark Salter months ago asking that they look at this.”
