Well, of course VoteVets supports Duckworth; when she went to Shinseki’s Department of Veterans’ Affairs, she was on the board of VoteVets and took all of their frontpage bloggers with her, no less than five. That’s why they’ve had to shut down their blog; everyone left to go to work for the DVA.<\/p>\n

Aside from providing hiring opportunities for VoteVets, what else has Duckworth accomplished? Well she ran Illinois’ Veterans Department. From folks I know in Illinois, she accomplished absolutely nothing and the few programs that she did start, she stole the credit from her employees. While she was at DVA, she selflessly volunteered to use her 9-11 GI Bill while she was supposed to be working for veterans (and getting paid by tax payers) so she could iron out the bugs in that particular program. Big of her, huh?<\/p>\n

VoteVets has changed their mission statement to allow them to contribute to the campaigns of non-veterans like Claire McCaskill and Harry Reid. but, they still include this line in their statement; “VoteVets.org PAC has three primary goals: Elect Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans to public office \u2013 regardless of party….” So, which Republicans have they ever supported? None. In the last election, they told me that they supported Senator Chuck Hagel (NE-R), but that was a lie. VoteVets never existed during any of Hagel’s campaigns for the Senator of Nebraska. So the answer to the question is “None”. Ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
