VoteVets’ quid pro quo

| September 6, 2012

Found this over at VoteVets’ Facebook page (they’ve shut down their VetVoice blog for some reason and moved to FB);

Well, of course VoteVets supports Duckworth; when she went to Shinseki’s Department of Veterans’ Affairs, she was on the board of VoteVets and took all of their frontpage bloggers with her, no less than five. That’s why they’ve had to shut down their blog; everyone left to go to work for the DVA.

Aside from providing hiring opportunities for VoteVets, what else has Duckworth accomplished? Well she ran Illinois’ Veterans Department. From folks I know in Illinois, she accomplished absolutely nothing and the few programs that she did start, she stole the credit from her employees. While she was at DVA, she selflessly volunteered to use her 9-11 GI Bill while she was supposed to be working for veterans (and getting paid by tax payers) so she could iron out the bugs in that particular program. Big of her, huh?

VoteVets has changed their mission statement to allow them to contribute to the campaigns of non-veterans like Claire McCaskill and Harry Reid. but, they still include this line in their statement; “VoteVets.org PAC has three primary goals: Elect Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans to public office – regardless of party….” So, which Republicans have they ever supported? None. In the last election, they told me that they supported Senator Chuck Hagel (NE-R), but that was a lie. VoteVets never existed during any of Hagel’s campaigns for the Senator of Nebraska. So the answer to the question is “None”. Ever.

I agree totally with the above comments. VoteVets has degenerated to a new low on their pathetic Facebook page, and they even ban writers who disagree with their view of the world too much. Believe me! Censorship by a “progressive” group? Nevertheless, how many people here will go to their Facebook page and give some blow-back? Well?

I’ve tried posting and calling them out on their hipocracy and I noticed that they delete all posts that disagree. I am a member of many conservative pages on Facebook and they don’t delete anyones comments.
