John McCain has been personally contacted in regards to the Cold War Victory Medal many many times. Every one of his aides has been contacted at one point or another. His friends have been contacted. His family members have been contacted. While many of these folks offer kind words of support or outright support the issuing of the Medal, still John McCain does not. Still John McCain refuses to even respond to America’s Cold War Veterans. We have been to his offices in AZ and DC, his meetings, his town-halls, we have had members ride on bus tours with McCain . . . and still we are forgotten and ignored. He only parades about the Veterans when it is politically expedient.

I don’t support everyone serving from 1945 to 1991 including civilians (I guess federal workers), that didn’t serve during wartime, ( we already wear the National Defense medal), getting a medal either, do you?

It seems another area has been uncovered where Juan and Obama agree, since Obama refused to attend the recent ceremony in Europe honoring the end of the Cold War, and Juan opposes a medal honoring those who served during the Cold War.

Almost every vote they complain about was a spending bill McCain opposed.

McCain is largely a fiscal conservative, and while I agree that if ANY special interest deserves money, it’s veterans, I still think that there is a limit to the money we should devote to special interests, even veterans.

I have NO idea about what the actual bills were about, so I’m not defending the votes he took against any particular bill.

I’m just saying that without detailed information about the bills and alternatives that may have been voted on, you can’t tell whether these were good conservative votes, or bad ones.

This morning on our local WMAL talk show, the announcers said that McCain was a “big-government” conservative, and Hayworth was a “limited-government” conservative.

But Hayworth voted FOR the medicare prescription drug benefit, and McCain voted AGAINST it. Hayworth voted for the Bridge to Nowhere that Palin and McCain opposed.

There are a lot of reasons to oppose McCain. But Hayworth attacking McCain on government spending is a losing proposition. Hayworth and McCain both have excellent “scores” on the issue.
