McCain Gets Tax-Free Disability Pension - $58,358!!

Gas is killing my business. I somehow bounced 5 checks this week... stress is a killer. Pretty soon no one will have to worry about insurance cheets becuase we'll have no one making anything in this once fine country. No money in my pocket equals no money for the government to hand out like candy.

Shucks... seems like 1 in every 5 people I know are on some sort of government "disabiltiy" and there ain't a damn thing that's keeping them from enjoying their permanent vacation. Meanwhile I'm out here bust'n my ass. So to myself I can easily say McCain is a crook for taking the money that the "new crop" of injured vets could surely use. You can have your opinion, and I can have mine.... and from where I stand in my pile of rising business and living costs.... worse than a crook in my book.

For someone who married into "richness", using taxpayer money for disability is really as low as can get. It should be for people who really need it and cannot afford to pay the sums, not someone flying around in rented jets! These people from the government, really think the taxpayers are a bunch or idiots, well it's time to wake up to reality, do some real background checking on all the candidates, don't ever base yourself on what the mainstream media tells you, find what they have not told you about Hillary/Barack/McCain, and then you'll be surprised and even feel quite stupid to have been promoting one of these three with all the info you can get from the Internet. Of course, do the same with the good ol' Doc, and you'll see who works for the People and who works for the establishment. Don't let another 12 years get by, for a lack of simple background research you were to lazy to do, cause that would be exactly what "they" want", that you only listen to what CNN, CBS, C NBC, etc, tell you. You have a magnificent document in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, not to mention the Declaration of Independence!!!! I envy yours, and wish all countries to emulate this wonderful documents. May god bless you freedom lovers, freedom is the answer to most problems we face today. Your rights are GOD given, anyone dare tell the contrary will have to deal with his demons or God himself. He does thing that can only surprise you, you will never see a " miracle" where you could have imagined" it, it will always be a surprise. I would not like to be in the camp that goes against the Light, the Truth, The Creator. We are all one of his creations/children, and those that kill his creations/children, including the Earth, he will "be back" as Schwarzenegger said.

I've never served so I can't comment from a strictly military perspective. I do agree with the post further down that mentioned that one of the things that draws so many to Dr. Paul is that with him you get 100% principle, 100% of the time. Don't forget, this is a man who has never taken a congressional junket, always comes in under his yearly budget, and has refused the congressional pention plan. So, fiscal issues and credibility very important to RP supporters.

In may people's minds, the Keating 5 scandal alone was enough to permanently cross JM off their list of "principled" politicians.

As for FDR, if you haven't seen these films, you might want to check them out. They might just change your opinion of him a bit:

McCain III was awarded “medals for valor” equal to nearly a medal-and-a-half for each hour he spent in combat.

For 23 combat missions (an estimated 20 hours over enemy territory), the U.S. Navy awarded McCain III, the son of famous admirals, a Silver Star, a Legion of Merit for Valor, a Distinguished Flying Cross, three Bronze Stars, two Commendation medals plus two Purple Hearts and a dozen service medals.

“McCain had roughly 20 hours in combat,” explains Bill Bell, a veteran of Vietnam and formerchief of the U.S. Office for POW/MIA Affairs -- the first official U.S. representative in Vietnamsince the 1973 fall of Saigon.

“Since McCain got 28 medals,” Bell continued, “that equals to about a medal-and-a-half for each hour he spent in combat. There were infantry guys -- grunts on the ground -- who had more than 7,000 hours in combat and I can tell you that there were times and situations where I’m sure
a prison cell would have looked pretty good to them by comparison. The question really is how many guys got that number of medals for not being shot down.”

Hard to like this guy even back then...lol.

Now the taxpayers are footing his SC as well as his other payroll.

Double-dipping, indeed.

What was the cause of McCains broken arms during Nam?
Vietnam vets say his arms were broken when he ejected from his cockpit and did not follow orders for ejecting which says you need to keep arms tight to sides to prevent what happened to McCain. Pictures of him the day after he was shot down back up this story because hes in a hospital with casts on both arms.

Also, the amount of disability pension you get is determined by the percent of your disability, 1 to 100% of your base salary. If McInsane is getting $4700 a month, that would probably be close to 100% of his base salary. So he is 90 to 100% disabled according to that.

MCCAIN CRASHED 3 PLANES IN NON-COMBAT MISSIONS, WAS SHOT DOWN, FINISHED 894 OUT OF 899 AT ANNAPOLIS.

He's got to have PTS by the way his anger rises up sometimes.

God help us. We're stuck with 3 of the worst choices we could have for the next POTUS.

This man is worth millions or his wife is, they own at least 8 homes. Money grubbing #$%%. Nothing can surprise me anymore regarding this man.

Are you going to dispute the fact that it was a missle the "fell" off McCains plane that ignited the inferno that caused the deaths of so many? And we are talking horrific deaths. Nothing like being locked into a compartment with JP5 pouring in on you and burning you to death. Are you going to deny that his father as well as his Grand father were both admirals in the Navy? Are you going to deny that their might have been a cover up? Wheres your proof? Keep posting, the more response we get the better. I also respond very well to personal insults. As far as Wiko whatever it is, I am seeing a bit of difference in what it has had to say about the disaster than was previously posted so I must question the sources who have recently changed the article.

...it's not nice to make fun of a person's mental disability. We're better than this, folks. :-)

While this might be a legitimate benefit, we know that RP, in the same position, would decline more of the *taxpayers money* than he was already getting as his salary.

I can't even comment on this right now. I believe that just pi#$%^ me off more than I can handle. Unf#@$ably unbelievable!

are the paralyzed vets now getting from Iraq war? I bet not $58,000.00 a year!!! Are there any DAV's out that can attest to this?

Why in the world is John McCain collecting disability pay while he has been gainfully employed as a US Senator for 20+ years?

Isn't it considered to be some type of insurance fraud to say that you are disabled when you actually aren't?

Most retired Marine LtCol's don't even see that much a month!!! I am disgusted with this train wreck.
