Then and now

I just read TSO’s post below about the mighty (disappointed) VoteVets and the dicksmith statements last night. TSO quoted dicksmith;

We deliberately seek out Veterans who might otherwise have problems gaining traction. We support Veterans who otherwise would struggle for exposure.

But a scant few weeks ago, Jon Soltz was quoted at Congress.org as saying;

“We vote for who is going to win….

So dicksmith says they pick underdogs, after their candidates get creamed, but Soltz says they only back winners.

And if anyone at VoteVets is wondering why they have no credibility and why their endorsements don’t help their candidates, it’s because they make completely truth-vacant comments like this;

Senate majority leader Harry Reid, a man who despite the demonizations of the right is out paced by none in the Senate as a champion of Veterans will be re-elected in Navada:

Yes, Harry Reid, who spent eight years trying to pull the funding for deployed troops engaged in combat, who told us that the surge had failed before it’d even begun, who rams defense spending for unwanted programs down DoD’s throat at the expense of the troops is a champion. Harry Reid, the guy who took more draft deferments than Dick Cheney.

You complete morons at VoteVets threw $600k into the Reid campaign for a non-veteran while that money might have helped one of your REAL veteran candidates. Am I glad you did? Absolutely. But I think it makes the case that you’re nothing but a bunch of dick-licking phonies led by the biggest phony of them all.

You fucks don’t care about veterans, all you care about is your own fragile egos and lining the pockets of your cheap suits.

ADDED: And oh, yeah, your VoteVets candidate, Tim Walz, the phony veteran who pretended to serve in Iraq during the last election, credited his win to his perfect rating from IAVA without mentioning VoteVets at all. How’s that endorsement look now?
