RINO Senator, John McCain has once again turned his back on US military veterans, choosing instead to fund visas for Afghani interpreters and their relatives, while imposing higher health care costs on our soldiers.
The legislation, given full support by McCain and proposed by New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D) will up the amount of Afghan Special Immigrant Visas for those who have helped the U.S. soldiers as translators and interpreters. With this amendment, the number grows from 7,000 to 11,000 and the spouse and children of the visa holder may also enter the United States.
Where will the funds come from to make these new visas possible? Congress has decided to hurt the veterans by cutting their health care benefits and increasing their co-pay for the pharmacy, while using the funds saved to make the visa program larger.
This is more of the same from McCain, the vet who should be ashamed of his pilfering toward his fellow military man or woman. There were recently nine Republicans who sided with the Democrats to sell out the vets, sadly McCain was one of them.
We expect the Democrats to sell America out. It’s news when one or a handful actually vote in the interest of the American people and in a manner consistent with the Constitution and the very survival of our nation.
It’s also newsworthy to report on Republicans who join the Democrats in their sellout.
In the debate over cuts to the budget and who would be affected, the Democrats naturally targeted America’s military. They recognize and largely oppose the anti-American behavior coming out of the Democrat Senate and White House. They are not the constituency of the Democrats, at least not as far as the Dems seem to think.

He’s a jackass!
He’s a traitor
Can this$#%&!@*bag fucker!!!!!
His is a disgrace to the veterans of this great land. He really needs to go away.
The question is why is John McCain doing this? What’s in it for him?
Fucking ridiculous.
When democrats were in control between 06 and 10, veterans were well taken care of. we suddenly had more counselors, we had access to housing, more doctors were hired, the schedule for some disabilities were changed to help veterans get more benefits. It wasn’t perfect but it was a hell of a lot better than when republicans were in charge. because when they took over in 11 we started seeing more cuts, slowly losing enough that congress created the Veterans Choice c**p. I lost gyn, and not many take VC because that is all they get, the VA sets an amount to what they will pay and not a penny more and the doctor can’t charge the veteran anything. Urgent care was farmed out so now I have to see a doctor that doesn’t know me and i have to fit an hour appointment into 15 minutes, because that is how long they have to assess the problem and get to the next patient. and the list goes on and on about lack of care under republicans. for the last half century, democrats tax and spend–increasing money to entitlement programs and republicans cut funding for entitlement programs.
McCain is a piece of s**t
As I sit in a wheelchair trying to fix my back, have been waiting since 1967. Senator getting all medical and 200 thousand a year takes away what small chance I have of getting it fixed. Va surgeon I got said that it’s above his head. They’re students practicing on us.
Don’t think he has done that. Study his stay in prison. He was a true leader then, he is old now and should go home and hang it up.
