CNN

Good for them, since Obama keeps trying to make it seem he is all for vets. Yet another case of Obama saying one thing and doing another.

Yah, I said it.

I am a Vietnam Veteran and I want to know what McCain told the North Vietnamese.

Okay, let's release McCain's POW documents to the public.

Tell the truth this time.

Those of you so called veterans hiding behind this screed should be ashamed. If you are infact true warriors, show your self and make and defend your accusations in the light of day, not in some dark recesses making up this crap. McCain has missed many more veteran votes than Obama, and his sorry attempt to deep six the new GI bill was nothing short of disgraceful. Ask the disabled vets coming home from Iraq and Afganistan who would they prefere taking real care of them. I bet you were all a bunch of supply clerks.......................!!

I don't think that want to go there when the last time Mccain ahowed up to vote was April 8th for the 2nd year in a row he holds the worst senate attendence record...
John McCain missed 65% of the votes in the Senate last year while he was pretending to represent the state of Arizona. McCain's pathetic Senate voting record last year was the second worst in the Senate, only Senator Tim Johnson had a worse voting record..and he was recovering from brain surgery.
So far mccain has misses over 100 votes this year
And FYI he has the worst veteren voting records there is

Afghanistan was handled under the Main Committee by agreement. Hearings under the sub-committee would have been redundant. Obama's already explained this numerous times.

There are McCain supporters in the military also. These guys should be proud that Obama voted against a funding bill that did not include a timeline. One thing people must realize is that Obama will not vote for some a bill with a hidden agenda in the form of fine print.

Obama/biden 08

Just another slimy attack ad from the desperate GOP (Greedy Old Pigs)!

P---R---E----S----E----N----–T

W H I L E,,,,,,,,,,,A B S E N T

Here come the swiftboats....can you hear them? Can you hear them??? Nope, cause they're falling on deaf ears. Listen now you war mongering neo-con McCain supporters. NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY, YOU CAN'T STOP US NOW. YOU CAN'T. THIS IS OUR TIME. OUR MOMENT. YES WE CAN.

Let's hear about McCain's propoganda work while a POW.He wants that hidden ,Kinda like what he does to Sarah.

WHAT GARBAGE! WHY DIDN'T THEY INCLUDE MCCAINS RECORD OF SKIPPING EVEN MORE THAN OBAMA. GOD THE SLEASE IS GETTING DESPARATE.

My father, brother, and sister are vets, and the all support Obama!

This is like the pot calling the kettle black.

And how many votes has McCain missed? He's missed more than the senator who's out for medical reasons.

And Palin has the nerve to imply the Biden is old.

McCain mis 65% . What is the point of this?

why didn't those same vets run an ad about how the bush administration slashed veterans benefits and health care, and how McSame will continue bush's plan?

why didn't those same vets make an ad about Walter Reed?

WOW I bet most of his votes were voted as present!!!!!!!!!!

Get ready America if Obama wins we will all need second jobs to pay all the taxes.

There are just as many vets for Obama as McCain. I'm sure if you ask those who are in the military who is looking out for their best interest and I'm sure a great number of them will say Senator Obama.

Swift boat politics here we come! Maybe those vets should ask McCain why he didn't support the new GI Bill, or will the McCain campaign spin it to portray the new GI Bill as bad for vets? I thought McCain promised to run a clean campaign...but I guess that went out the window when his poll numbers started to slide. Just another politician we can't trust.

And how many votes did John McCain miss???

As a Navy Vet "I DO NOT APPROVE THIS AD" it is full of distortions!!!

Apparently the troops are smart enough to know who will bring REAL disaster to America instead of the fabricated disaster from the democRATS and the media.

McCain was a prisoner of war longer that Obama's been in the Senate!!

Priceless!! Yet this is the man you want to put in charge of the nation!!

Wait, wait, tell me again about how Palin isn't qualified, that always makes me laugh. Keep it up dems.

McCain/Palin 08!!!!

Veterans For Freeedom is nothing but a ruse. Poll the entire retired military population, and I'd bet my 401K that the majority of them have NO RESPECT for Senator McCain, as he has shown disdain & total lack of support for veterans returning home from battle.

Aren't there more important things they could spend this kind of money on? I'm not a vet but I'm guessing not all vets agree with this ad.
Why would any group that feels this strongly be afraid to tell who their donors are?
Take your money and help improve the services for our vets, not this crap.

I was wondering when the SWIFTBOATERS would come out of the woods....too bad that the Republican candidate doesn't have a better record they could exploit....

Well....McCain missed a lot more votes than Barack did...plus Grandpa also voted to cut funding in Iraq (when there was a vote for another version of this bill that had a timeline for withdrawal attached to it)........

Also, what's with running a pro-McCain ad in CA......Grandpa won't win CA anyways....can the Repubs afford to throw money away at this stage!

Obama is my hero......he knows how to lie better than even a Clinton.

Please. McCain has missed over 60% of the votes in the Senate, more than any other senator.

Obama received a B+ rating from veteran groups, while McCain received a much lower D rating.

Obama was for the GI Bill, and McCain was against it. Next?

Obama/Biden '08
God bless America!

Obama-leaning groups should launch a barrage attacks attacking the pathetic people who produce these ads, publicly humiliate them and maybe they will think twice before swift-boating. The whole sink to their level by attacking McCain doesn't help Obama at all.

Does anyone remember who didn't vote for the GI bill?

Here comes the Swift-Boat Sleaze Team. Does McCain have enough integrity left to denounce them?

Please take a look at Obama voting record and McCain voting record on veteran affairs and that will tell you who has OUR interests at heart.. If you think it's McCain..haha FAT CHANCE... Please go to the Washington post it has their voting record, and look at it for yourself..

OBAMA/BIDEN '08 '12

To All the wonderful Veterans in the world – don't you know it is Obama who will get your benefits for you, don't you know that John McCain voted against benefits for you, Don't you understand ? He wants to be POTUS really really badly..and will step over anyone, including you, to get there, Give me a break

And McCain has skipped a LOT more votes in the same period of time. But, they don't tell us THAT!

Vets? Barak Obama, has two Toto's. But they are females... Barack Obama pretends he believe's'! In more defense of the USA..
I also was a Vet . Voluntary, Expectations, of Tenacity

What Veteran's are they talking about WWII Veterans? Cuz we "the Iraq War Veterans" have Obama's back...just like he has ours.

Hoah!

Obama/Biden 08!

Oh, that's right. CNN only posts comments from Obama supporters and those who bash the right. I should have known better.

I see, this is okay, and rev wright ads are okay, but a group of NURSES get together and put out an ad about McCain's age and everyone screams "bad form"

How do you spell Hypocrite?? GOP!!

Do people know the meaning of "swiftboat" or do they just repeat it over and over because they think it sounds like they know something? I know most people don't really know what is really happening. It is much easier to just repeat the lies of the mainstream media than it is to do some independent research and find out the real truth. There are more lies out there than people will ever know but people will always believe "their" side because they refuse to look to independent sources or to accept anything that goes against their belief system. I guess that explains the same old lies being repeated for 40 years. Too bad the people don't want to wake up from their Stepford ways.

I don't know if you notice but if you look at that picture closely, you'll see Honest Abe in the back!! Now that is cool...

Well, I'm out!! Gotta leave and see these baseball games...

Later guys!

... uh and how many did McCain miss?

What's next? John McCain has more torture scars than Obama, therefore he's more capable of dealing with mortal enemies? Bwahahahaha!!!

So essentially this ad paints Senator Obama as unpatriotic and lazy. Smell a racial stereotype anyone?

Keep attacking, Keep it up! KEEP TRYING! TRY HARDER!!! PUT YOUR BACK INTO IT!!! Lie, steal ideas, cheat! Throw the kitchen sink at us!
COME ON!!! DO YOUR WORST.
We can take it! BUT YOU CAN'T STOP US

VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS
VOTE FOR OBAMA

Before anyone takes this ad for truth, he/she may want to actually look at their records.

McCain has a horrible record when it comes to supporting our veterans.

You know the old campaign strategy... project your weakness as though it's your strength. Well, this is a perfect example.

I love how liberal just make up facts. 85% – you just made up that number. Hopefully there are enough sensible people who will consider Obama's lack of action on anything in the next 30 something days – but you guys can claim victory now if you would like. I am doing my duty as an American and showing to vote for John McCain. Obama has never lead or changed anything. PERIOD! We'll see how this plays out.

IF THEY CAN'T FIND THE TRUTH, THEN JUST MAKE UP A LIE! It's typical republican rhetoric. They are so terrified that old pasty face will lose the white house, that they will stop at nothing to make sure they trash Obama as much as they can. What they don't realize is that people aren't listening to their lie anymore. They have more important things to worry about.....like losing their homes and life savings because of the selfish arrogant republicans in the white house that have done these terrible things to the people of this country. Wake up and accept the fact that you are going to lose the white house republicans!

The only sheep I see around here are those who are wanting Obama to win. He is the biggest liar and most self-centered cretin to show his face in years. He doesn't give a rat's tail about the soldiers. He wouldn't even talk to them or spend time with them (except for a few photo ops with some black soldiers in Germany) when he was on his tour abroad. He ignored them almost completely. BTW, has he ever done anything to help that brother of his yet? The one who lives off a $1 a month? No...you all are the sheep. Makes me ill.

Here we go folks.. they're cornered, losing, and all they have left is spew.

McCain has missed more votes than anyone else in the senate. Look it up. 64.5% of his votes....nearly 20% more than Obama. Some people are getting desperate.

Sorry losers, but this veteran supports Obama. McCain has done nothing for veterans!!!

Is anybody going to run an ad where Johnny voted against the veterans and getting them more help, like Obama and the other democratic senators did. Johnny voted against it. That great POW I am from the Vietnam ea, he is a POW, like thousand others, NOT a hero.

McCain has lost his dignity. I wasn't going to vote for him anyway but I used to have some respect for him. His new slogan should be "McCain First, Country Second."

I don't understand why veterans are running this add. John McCain does not even support the veterans' bill that gives veterans more benefits. I think veterans of this war need more benefits and do not understand how they can support McCain. Obama is not even ati-war he wants to redeploy the troops to Afganistan to finally complete the mission of killing Bin Laden..This verterans' group must be getting there advice from Rove of how to lie. I am a veteran of the first Gulf War and do not support McCain because of his lies..

You vets make me sick..Lies,Lies,and more Lies.

it will be quite interesting to see if obama's poll numbers go up after these ads since we all know by now that they are blatant lies. the desperate will do anything to win. they are wasting their money. will someone please let them know that the people with access to the internet have already factchecked these statements?

McCain missed votes, too. Furthermore, the ones he (McCain) voted on, he usually voted WRONG and against the best interests of the American people! Besides, doesn't matter how McCain voted, he can't remember any of them! He'll have his staff get that info to you.

I am also a Navy vet from the first Gulf war and wish to express my disgust with a bunch "vets" who are too cowardly to reveal themselves or their sources of money. It seems to me that there is another group of individuals who parade around in disguise throwing out hateful and inaccurate messages, and who also will not reveal themselves for fear of being branded racists and idiots. I have to wonder if the "Vets for Freedom" keep their sheets clean and white as well.

Obama needs to target Vets in a more aggressive way. I know that there are Vet groups out there that approve of and endorse Obama-Biden. He needs to make this truth known to the general American Public.

This is a great ad and so true. I be Obama is regreting those Present votes now. LOL

This is what we should care about:

Our soldiers in Iraq have contributed more to Obama's campaign than to McCain. That speaks for itself.

For the rest, get some sleep! We all need a break from this campaign. Good thing is Obama will win in 30 days and we can all get back to our normal lives.

If you guys want to risk having Palin handle the war in Iraq, that's your prerogative.

McCain has missed a higher percentage of votes in the last two years than Obama.

Vets for Obama will counter this ad. By the way – why are the songbird's military records sealed?

Obama/Biden '08

I am a military brat, served in the military, and now work for civil service and I DON'T WANT MCCAIN AND PALIN IN MY CHAIN OF COMMAND.

Meka what branch of the military do you serve in. 85% is a bit of an exaggeration and pure propoganda. BTW they love this Commander-in-Chief.

when the econmony is in peril, these time wasters are wasting precious time and hard sought money to sell misleading stories........................................what's next?

Obama/Biden 2008 till the damage is fixed

Obama/Biden 08

Boy! are they reaching! Let's see how many votes McCain has missed in his very long career with two presidential elections.

Here comes the war... it was so far a pretty much one sided personal ad war with McCain against Obama... Now we got the Nurses and Vets joining in and getting DIRTY here!! The games are begining!!

Idiots.

McCain has voted against every single bill meant to improve veteran benefits. Obviously he thinks it's OK to place our troops in harms way, but not OK to take care of them if and when they come back.

The false claims of this ad have already been fact checked so I won't even say anything to them other than they are false.

Are they realise that everything they are saying in their ad has been said before by McCain and FactCheck has proven that they were all lies?

Only voters that are not being informed could believe this ad...to me, it's just a waste of money since I know for sure and with fact that they are lying.

Sad tough!

The statement is misleading check the facts people, check the facts!!! Already proven by Politico and factchek.org that the statement is misleading.

I wish everyone was HONEST in these ads. They point out Obama's absentee rate yet McCain's is actually much higher.

And they completely misrepresent his vote on troop funding to make it sound as if he actually wanted to hurt the troops. Luckily, only the dumbest of the dumb will fall for this ad.

He has no experience, and even in the little experience he has, he was not taking part in it!

How can he be president of the US? Another four years of an inexperienced guy? More of the same?

MIA and POW in Vietnam. This (John S McCain) person did not learn the written methods and when he was in Air he was the biggest screwup and was downed over Hanoi. Then he stayed a few years in the Hanoi Hilton by being stupid. He could have got out early and then he would have been available for further action in Vietnam. I would not be far off by saying that he stayed in Hanoi Hilton because he did not want to fight anymore.

McCain missed 65%

"Obama is the one trying to get you OUT of Iraq"

The LIE is that Obama is anti-war.

He wants to put MORE troops in Afghanistan.
He likes the pre-emtive strike option for Iran.
He is for MORE military spending.

Sheep! Does anyone think anymore or do you just eat what the media feeds you?

Green Party – antiwar ALL the time not just for the sound bite and the gullible voter sheep.

Whoops! Let's check the facts:

John McCain has missed 420 votes (64.5%) during the current Congress

Barack Obama has missed 303 votes (46.5%) during the current Congress.

Once again, there is no Honor without Honesty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How many votes did grand pa McCain miss?

NO EX-patriots need apply NO Obama, No Way, No How

Desperation...

I wonder where the old Vets were hanging out and when they would rear their ugly heads!!

Obama never served in the military, never had his bones broken in service to this country, can't bother to lift his arm across his chest to say the pledge of alligence as we all saw with our own eyes, has a wife who is patriotically-challenged, only now wears a flag pin because he wants to be President – using patriotism as a commodity. He sat in a racist church for 20 years and had as a mentor a pastor who cast dispersions on America and Whites and he has the gall to ask for your vote? No Obama, No Way, No How.

The first line of this story does not make any sense. No, sense it doth not make...

INTERESTING. . .85% OF ACTIVE MILITARY, ARE IN FAVOR-DO SUPPORT SENATOR OBAMA AS PRESIDENT!

Senator John McCain would rather lose his integrity before he lose this election!

These vets are McCain supporters and like McCain will lie on Obama and on what he stands for. The McCain Vets should first find out the facts before spending so much money on lies that will not fly!

Um, McCain hasn't voted in the Senate since April. He has missed something like 119 consecutive votes.

And Obama doesn't support Bush's War in Iraq. He does, however, have a better record on voting for Veteran Affairs than McCain does. Most veteran groups give McCain a very low rating on veteran affairs. If you're a vet, just do what he did – cheat on your wife with someone worth $100 million, then divorce her and marry the woman. That way you don't have to worry about GI bills and all that noise.

Can you say "SWIFTBOAT"?

Typical "OBAMA"

MISSING IN ACTION.

So Big Oil corps and other rich entities are forming this group to Swiftboat Obama?

NOT GONNA WORK

Former Independent for Obama

Hmmmm, so they found a way to hide who their donors are? And then they use that secret money to push their political views? Interesting. Not surprising that they would be McCain supporters.

I guess the thing that kills me is that what they're saying isn't a bad thing for Obama. He voted against a bill that didn't have a timeline and voted for one that did. He wasn't voting on the funding part. Interesting that the ad doesn't point out that McCain also did not vote for one of the funding bills.

As a Navy Veteran, as a white male, as a father, as a god fearing human, as a patriotic american, as a son, as a husband and as your neighbor.....Barack Obama makes me proud to be American.

These vets are not the vets in majority. McCain has denied our veterans benefits time and time again, calling it 'too generous' to show our respects to our former war veterans. McCain has been one of the biggest enemies the us soldier has in washington.

Vets FOR Obama, Count me in!!!

Um, troops............... Obama is the one trying to get you OUT of Iraq. McCain will keep you there indefinitely. You decide which one is acting in your best interest.

Republican SMEARING.....more of the same scare tatics and fearmongoring Bush/McCain are famous for.

Well, here we go. It's Swiftboat V.2008. What took you so long to trot out these misleading stories, McCain? Let's talk about YOUR record on military and vet funding which has been abysmal! As a proud Army Mom I am supporting Obama because his record on military and veteran support far outshines McCain's.

This group should keep their money because it's not going to work. McCain is the one who keeps voting NO as far as veterans are concerned. Funny how most veterans are not for McCain.

blah, blah, blah, blah, you all will suffer if McSame is president.
