\nI know the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America does some good work, generally, but I shy away from anything that connects to them. Seein’s how they began as Paul Reickhoff’s Bush bashing OpTruth website<\/a> and started sending out a purely partisan scorecard<\/a> for Congress, every election season, they’re not the non-partisan group they pretend to be.<\/p>\n
