Time to hear from those who the election impacts the most. Take a look at those who understand the cost of an administration being both stubborn and ignorant.

Vets for Obama |

Although I'm not a "member" of VFO per se, I'm a vet, and a huge Obama fan, and neighborhood canvasser, and donator.

Obviously the OP must have been referring to veterinarians, not veterans. Since no sane veteran in their right mind could possibly even consider voting for any candidate from the party that hates the military and supports al Qaeda.

Check out how the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America rate Obama and McCain (and everyone else in congress) on veterans' affairs.

IAVA - Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America - Full Ratings List (http://www.iava.org/full-ratings-list - broken link)

<hint: Obama is rated considerably higher>

I'm curious why veterans will be impacted more than any one else. I think we ALL have a lot riding on this election, especially given the present state of our economy. And I'm not knocking vets - vets have a lot on the line. My point is, we all do.

The first sentence - been completely debunked, you're late.

The second sentence - haha, you mean when John's bullying backfired on him? (And note that John hasn't repeated that sort of game since then, just like a typical bully.)

Why did John not show up to vote on the new GI BiIl? Every other Senator was there, except Ted Kennedy who was hospitalized.

If McCain is for the veterans why has he stonewalled efforts to find missing POWs/MIAs in Vietnam?

There's a difference between being for war and being for veterans. You can support a war and not give a rat's ass about what happens to the troops after they come home. We already have homeless Iraq war veterans on the streets and the occupation isn't even over.

I don't think Vets will be affected only active duty .

Active duty will certainly be affected more so than civilians. They might leave Iraq or not. They might wind up be extended ,etc list is endless.

I am undecided was Obama but now on the fence and none of the reasons have to do with military in any way.
