Clipmarks | Vietnam ClipsMcCain record on veterans issues "abysmal"clipped by: masburyclippers remarks: "He has received failing grades from Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, Disabled Veterans of America, and Vietnam Veterans of America." His pro-veteran talk doesnt match his walk. If you look at John McCain?s record on veterans issues, it?s a failed one. ? Even the Vietnam Veterans of America, those who served with Sen. McCain in Vietnam, have given Sen. McCain a ?D? voting record when it comes to voting to improve veterans health care and benefits. ? But I think America?s veterans and voters have a right to know before the election that his voting record in the Senate has been a failed one. ?If his voting record had prevailed over the last several years, veterans would have poorer health care and fewer benefits than they have today,? He has received failing grades from Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, Disabled Veterans of America, and Vietnam Veterans of America. McCain has voted against money for VA outpatient care and treatment and against increasing VA funding by $1.5 billion by closing corporate loopholes, to name a few. 25 million veterans would be shocked and deeply disappointed to find out McCain has a failed voting record on veterans. [Video] " I am Joe Six-Pack. I am not who they think that they are talking to. Are you?"clipped by: Lexicaclippers remarks: More: Joe is the guy I worked with who served in Vietnam, worked construction, had four kids, thought Portland micro-brews were for hippies and weirdos -- and told me one day about having to change churches, because "our pastor spends all his time talking about how bad the gays are, and I go to church for God, and I really dont think God cares who you sleep with or who you marry." Oh, and he went back to school at 45 to get a degree in architecture, so I guess he wont be Joe Six-Pack soon. His income will put him into that Better Class of People yall think youre part of. Sarah Palin et al like to call us "Joe Six-Pack," and they think we like it too. They think it sounds folksy and homey and cute. Sure. Its a folksy, homey, cute way to euphemistically call us something very close to trashy, ignorant hillbillies. Were just not supposed to be smart enough to realize it. So, Governor Palin et al, let me tell you who the Joe Six-Pack that you think youre talking to really is. Joe Six-Pack isnt who you think he/she is. You dont have a fucking clue about Joe Six-Pack. I wish I were only talking to one camp. But Im talking to my own, too. We "liberal elitists." Because we say the same kind of things when talking about "the average American." We assume we know them, and they are the same people Palin knows. But honestly, I know for a fact, pretty much everyone I know who will read this is, statistically, demographically, Joe Six-Pack. Are we the Joe Six-Pack they think they know? Dinner Bell Rings for Financial Feeding Frenzyclipped by: merrieclippers remarks: AIG today revealed what many private-equity firms, banks and asset managers want to know about the company?s asset sales to pay back an $85 billion government loan: What?s for dinner? AIG CEO Edward Liddy put an end to the suspense today. Here is what AIG is putting on the block: the U.S. life, retirement and pensions businesses, the personal-lines property-casualty business and at least a minority stake in its foreign life insurance business. All of AIG?s non-insurance businesses, including aircraft leasing, consumer finance division, U.S. auto insurance, a reinsurance business and asset manager, are also likely to be put on the block. Nearly every major private equity firm with an interest in finance, including Hellman & Friedman, TPG and Corsair Capital, are expected to pore very closely over AIG?s portfolio. AIG CEO Edward Liddy knows that this has been the sale that many have been waiting for. On a conference call today, he said ?dozens and dozens? of acquirers would step up and that ?demand for these properties will be very high.? AIG will sell nearly its entire life insurance business, which includes its life insurance operations in the U.S., Latin America and Japan, but will keep a controlling stake in AIA, its life insurance division in China, India, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. The company expects earnings growth of around 20% in those developing markets. Für die Inhalte dieses Feeds ist alleine der jeweilige Autor/Anbieter verantwortlich.
