How out-of-control is partisan strong-arming in Congress? Partisanship is so rampant that McCain - a former POW - has a record on veterans' issues that's not even satisfactory.
It's ironic that a former POW would have such a poor record on veterans' matters, but a new report card by the nonpartisan Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America gives McCain only a 'D' for his Senate votes. Obama, meanwhile, scores a 'B'.
If you're an avid senator watcher like I am, the report gets even more interesting. The only senator to receive an 'F' is South Carolina's right-wing Jim DeMint. Yes, he's the hypocritical fascist who wanted to cut off funding for the city of Berkeley because of the city's antiwar views.
"Support the troops" isn't just a slogan, Jim, you moron.
