Disabled Vets: GOPers throw us to wolves


It's good to see that the GOP can always spew yet another bullshit lie about their love for the military (via FightingDems): Based on votes cast in 2005 on issues of concern to the Disabled American Veterans (DAV), House & Senate GOPers, combined, have an average rating of 10% with many scoring zero, while Dem senators and reps score an average of 92%. The House Veterans Affairs committee: the 14 GOPers have an average DAV rating of 1.53% while the 13 committee Dems average 92.30%. In the Senate Veterans Affairs committee, GOP members have an average rating of 47% while their Dem colleagues average 92 %." Oh yeah... the GOP will send 'em off to dangerous places like war, but if they dare to come back mangled and in need of help, the disabled vets are given the GOP finger and told to piss off. Just visit Vets for Justice if ya doubt that the prevailing GOP belief is that disabled vets are bums, and that the VA benefits they earned are a form of welfare.
