Speaking of Patriotism - Why No Mention Still Of McCain Taking Credit for GI Bill He Opposed?
The bias of the MSM is amazing. Here is McCain taking credit for the GI Bill that was supported by Webb and Obama. McCain is the only Senator without a health problem not to vote on the bill. Before this, McCain was outspoken in his opposition to the bill. Yet, for some reason, can't find any of the MSM covering this.

Its just sad really how much the MSM props up McCain.

2. Because it was secretly opposite month
So mcbush was saying the opposite of what he really believed to honor the spirit of the month long celebration.

OK so it's lame. But, it's still better than any answer mcbush or the msm could come up with
