John McCain
Town Hall
Las Cruces, NM 08/20/08

TRANSCRIPT:

AUDIENCE MEMBER: Senator McCain I truly hope you get the opportunity to chase Bin Laden right to the gates of hell and push him in as you stated on your forum. I do have a question though. Disable veterans, especially in this state have horrible conditions, their medical is substandard. They drive four hours one way to Albuquerque for a simple doctors appointment which is often canceled. Our VA hospital is dirty it is understaffed, it is running on maximum overload. The prescription medicines are ten years behind standard medical care we have seven hundred claims stacked up at the VA office in Albuquerque some of them are ten and seven years old waiting to be processed in the mean time these people are homeless. My son is an officer in the Air Force, and I am a vet and I was raised in a military family. I think it is a sad state of affairs when we have illegal aliens having a Medicaid card that can access specialist top physicians, the best of medical and our vets can’t even get to a doctor. These are the people that we tied yellow ribbons for and Bush patted on the back. If we don’t reenact the draft I don’t think we will have anyone to chase Bin Laden to the gates of hell.

JOHN MCCAIN: Ma’am let me say that I don’t disagree with anything you said and thank you and I am grateful for your support of all of our veterans.

    One heart beat away! Who was born in 1884 and died of a heart attack in 1945 at age 61 ? Who was born in 1911 and died in 1981 of a heart attack when he was 70 years old? John S. McCain

    It’s really simple folks.
    IF you think the last 8 years of a Republican run government have been good for the country, then vote for John Mcsame.
    HE voted for Bush policies 90% of the time. Hardly a maverick.
    McCain and the RNC talked “change”, but from what. Themselves!
    Endless War, debt, recession, corruption, tax cuts for the rich, pollution, erosion of medicare, runaway health costs, torture, corporate welfare, the erosion of the middle class, runaway gas price
    More of the same.
    McBush.

    If we had a draft, people would care – I mean All of us would really care – not simply ‘discuss amongst ourselves’. If we had a draft, the boondoggle in Iraq would never have been attempted by the Bush right, and our decisive work in Afganistan would have been completed in months. If we had a draft, the brothers and sisters we send over and come back chopped up would, along with their close families, receive the care they need and deserve. If there was a draft.

    No, the Republicans will get deferrements. It’s the poor, the patriotic and the minorities who will get sacrificed.

  • pwnforfun says:

    It is a statistically proven fact that every election is mickey mouse gets the most votes. Technically mickey mouse wins every election.
    Therefore, it is my opinion that disney should rule america.
    Maybe then we wouldn’t have to worry so much about wars, just about sexual innuendos. LOL

  • MCinsane wants to stay there for 100 years.. ;-) )

  • Have you seen the thousands protests outside the DNC? It’s because Dems claimed they would get us out of the Iraq War, but have not done squat.

  • php2hax says:

    McCain and his butt budy Lieberman are seriously screwed in the head. Pretending they matter to Russia and the rest of the world. The world is ready to shit on their neo-conservative agenda. These retards seem prepared to bring us to nuclear war over a pissy colony of Georgians with an egotistical leader. Isn’t it time we had a leader with a brain rather than a pre-recorded series of catch phrases.

    John mccain shits on veterans just look at his voting record and that pompous shit eating smug look on his face as this women/vet was talking about how mistreated are vets are. I know a few good marines one who is still in iraq and none of them support this old bastard.

  • blueguise23 says:

    **** John McCain’s V.P. problem****

    John McCain can’t pick Tim Pawlenty. He’s weak, and will be “chewed up and spat out” against Joseph Biden.
    McCain can’t pick Lieberman – or Tom Ridge a Pro-Choice candidate – they’re both hated by Conservatives!

    He can’t pick “Mitt Romney” – there will be THREE BILLIONAIRES on the ticket John McCain, Cindy, & Romney and that will NEVER FLY WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!

    Our Economy is the worse ever, people are losing jobs and losing their houses!

  • dancerdog3 says:

    pimpjuice9304 – McCain has never supported any tax cuts for just the top 10%. Any tax cut he has ever discussed has always been for all. Of course, the top 10% pay much more in taxes and therefore would be more impacted by any tax change. It is dishonest to say a tax cut translates to a specific policy of rewarding companies for send jobs overseas.

    What you state is far more than an exageration. It is a lie.

    Warmonger? Iraq is getting much better, not a disaster.

  • cpmatthews says:

    she was obviously expecting an applause when she talked about osama.

  • Dancerdog Mccain has literally said them himself for example tax cuts for the top 10% would ultimately cause tax cuts for companies that move jobs overseas…its an exaggeration but its also the truth…Plus warmonger is argument is very true, this guy talks about wasteful spending but he still spends to spend rediculous amounts of money in Iraq, its a recipe for disaster

    McCain is a Neocon a Warmonger and probably belongs in a nursing home.OBAMA08
