You are feckless and don't recognize a man that served his country his entire life. What the hell is your problem? Are servicemen freeloaders now Kenneth? You should be ashamed. BTW Where has Obama worked? Sure he turned down big job oblah blah blah....He went right into the political machine working for ward bosses and pimping of the government. He never has a job that didn't have a government check.

"McCains cradle to the grave health care plan paid for by taxpayers or that he has been supported by the US Government his entire life." It's worst than that. McCain is the ultimate hypocrite when it comes to double and triple dipping. Take for example McCains $23,157 annual Social Security, plus his $58,358 military retirement, plus his $161,708 government salary. From cradle to grave, McCain has not only receive full medical insurance from the taxpayers but also triple government checks while he passed legislation that deprived teachers, policemen, firemen, civil servants, etc. from receiving two earned retirement checks. Now many may argue that this just happened and it was not done deliberately. He served his country and then entered politics after his military service. His triple government handout--Social Security, military retirement, and gov. retirement all came naturally and as a consequence of his careers. So why did McCain help pass the WEP (Windfall Elimination provision), and the GPO(Government Pension Offset.) These two pieces of McCain legislation deprives civil servants, policemen, school teachers, etc. from receiving their full Social Security pensions. In fact, they generally loose up to 60% of their Social Security if they work as a teacher, a civil servant, or a policeman after they retire. The repeal legislation for the WEP and the GPO is now before both the Senate and the House. The House bill has over 300 co-sponsors and the Senate bill has 35 co-sponsors. McCain is opposing the legislation. So McCain help pass the original legislation that stole some 50% of SS benefits for millions of Americans but exempted himself and other congressional leaders. Now McCain, as he collects three government checks monthly, is fighting to deprive elderly teachers, policemen, firefighters, civil servants, etc. from receive their full Social Security benefits as he does? That shows extreme hypocrisy on the part of McCain . He triple dips but passes legislation that stops teachers and policemen from getting their full Social Security. Also notice the name of the legislation that McCain pushed---Windfall Elimination Provision..What a joke! McCain triple dips and receives some $230,000 in government retirements and then turns around and strips teachers, civil servants and policemen of 50% of their retirements because he calls it a WINDFALL. McCain gets close to $250,000 by triple dipping and turns around and calls it a windfall when civil servants, policemen and teachers get $1000 in Social Security. The average Social Security payments for teachers and policemen who retired at two jobs is approximately $1000 month. They lose $500 of this retirement because of McCain's support for the WEP and GPO. WHAT A HYPOCRITE! The two pieces of legislation that McCain opposes are HR82 and Seante 206 McCain refuses to support legislation that would repeal the WEP and GPO and give teachers, policemen, firemen, and civil servants the same benefits that he receives. www3.capwiz.com
