Who Supports the Troops more. Democrats or Republicans?

[Phred42]

The IAVA released the Congressional Report card the other day.

Here it is: http://www.veteranreportcard.org/reportcard.pdf

But the IAVA is non-partisan and does not include party affiliations in their data. I am an independent, but I am partisan right now.

I took part of the IAVA data, added Party affiliation and SORTED the data.

Here are the results - So who actually supports the troops?



update to add note:

NOte:
Obama missed 4 votes but never voted AGAINST the Vets
McCain missed 6 votes and voted AGAINST the Vets once.

3. K&R and bookmarked and THANK YOU!!! But, please...

help me see how those on the right will tear this apart.

I've been compiling military-related info all day to dispute the chicken hawk, chest-thumping crowd, and I want to be prepared.

For example, what was Cindy McCain referring to today when she said Obama voted against funding the troops?

Thanks! :)

4. Exactly the same reference Grampy used in the Debate.

Obama voted against one of the bills to continue funding the Occupation of Iraq BECAUSE THEY TOOK OUT THE TIMELINE.

Obama was for it before they removed the time line on getting out.

Obama has never voted against the Veterans (McCain has voted against the vets) - these are two different subjects

I'm emailing it to my Dad to show his Korean Vet buddies.
