    burried

    This story deserves to be on Salon’s home page, not buried.

    As a member of the Disabled American Veterans I am quite distressed at some of the comments by the neo-cons. They do not speak for all of us vets as many of us are adamantly opposed to Bush’s policies and by extension McCain’s positions.

    Neither Bush nor McCain needed to concern themselves about paying for college, so why should they be concerned for the troops? They are not.

    Bush went to Yale as a legacy and McCain’s Daddy & Grandfather were Navy Academy grads who got him an appointment. BTW, McCain graduated sixth from the bottom. Just what we need, another intellectual lightweight in the White House. NOT!
