McHypocrite Shows His Disdain For Regular Hardworking People
"First, he refuses to sign on to Senator Jim Webb's GI Bill and has introduced his own.
"But McMoney Bags' bill is a travesty.
"As Think Progress point out: 'McCain’s bill is more focused on career officers, not the entire volunteer military force,” giving the most benefits to those who serve 12 years or more in active duty (rather than those who signed up and have served since 9/11). McCain has stated that he opposes Webb’s more generous bill because of concerns it does not have “incentives for people to remain in the military.'
"Elizabeth Edwards said McCain's health care plan would exclude both of them because of their pre-existing conditions, her breast cancer and his melanoma.
"From a Wall Street Journal article, referring to Democrats wanting to help the almost 50 million Americans without health care, Elizabeth Edwards '...finds it ironic that Sen. McCain is so averse to it given that he has had nothing but such coverage since birth. A young John McCain was first insured as the son of a Navy man, then as a Navy officer himself and finally as a member of Congress.' "
Elite multimillionaire McCain, with fours homes and other properties, who receives a US Navy disability pension, has the arrogance to show contempt for regular hardworking Americans and organized labor.
From ThinkProgress: "Today, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) visited Worth & Co., a contracting company in Bucks County, PA, where he held a town hall. The visit is a slap in the face to the state’s unions, since Worth & Co. has been investigated by the state Department of Labor and Industry for “intentionally failing to pay the predetermined minimum wage” to its employees. The Intelligencer reports:
McCain, who has already drawn the ire of union leaders throughout this country, will be visiting a company that earlier this year was under investigation by the state’s Labor and Industry Department over employee wages. At the time of the investigation, company founder Stephen Worth said he was being targeted by union interests who were going after his non-union shop. Union members plan to protest McCain’s visit.
"Part of the state’s investigation focused on a subcontractor Worth had hired, that ultimately admitted to having underpaid its employees by nearly $26,000.
"McCain’s visit fits squarely within his anti-labor record. The AFL-CIO emphasizes that “there is nothing moderate about McCain,” who they call “a loyal ally of Bush who has consistently and perniciously voted against the interests of working families in his decades-long career in Washington.” Highlights of that long career:
– Helped block minimum wage hike in 2005 with John Kyl [LINK]
– Voted to filibuster minimum wage hike in 2007 [LINK]
– Compared unions to monopolies, during a presidential debate [LINK]
– Voted to block the Employee Free Choice Act in 2007, allowing workers to form unions [LINK]
– Skipped the vote on the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act in 2008, which would have made it easier for women workers to sue for equal pay [LINK]
"Just last week, McCain didn’t even bother to show up to vote on a war supplemental that extended unemployment benefits. He was the only senator besides Sen. Ted Kennedy — who is undergoing treatment for a brain tumor — who didn’t vote on the measure."
This hypocrite, McBush, whose healthcare has been covered his entire life by the government and who exhibits contempt for hardworking Americans by his abominable actions against them is unfit to be president.
