From the article:
“The day that Sen. Obama cast a vote to not to fund my son when he was serving sent a cold chill through my body let me tell you,” Cindy McCain said in introducing the GOP ticket. “I would suggest Sen. Obama change shoes with me for just one day. I suggest he take a day and go watch our men and women deploying.”
What she doesn't say is that her husband has also voted against funding for our troops.
McCAIN Voted Against Troop Safety Equipment:
· McCain voted against the Bayh amendment which would have provided more than $360 million for the procurement of up-armored Humvees. Senator Obama voted "Yes." The amendment failed. (October 5, 2005: Vote 248: S.Amdt.1933 to H.R. 2683)
· McCain voted against the Dodd amendment, which would have provided more than $320 million for personnel protection equipment for U.S. forces in Iraq. The equipment would have been paid for by reducing US funding for Iraqi reconstruction. (October 2, 2003: Vote 376: S.Amdt.1817 to S.1689)
· McCain voted against the Landrieu amendment, which would have provided more than $1 billion for procurement for force protection and adequate equipment for National Guard and Reserve forces. The amendment failed. (April 2, 2003: Vote 116: S. Amdt. 452 to S.762)
