McCain Voted Against the Troops
Posted by Ilan Goldenberg

Joe Lieberman will say today that:

When Barack Obama was voting to cut off off funding for our troops on the ground, John McCain had the courage to stand against the tide.

As I've said before this voting against the troops is a completely false argument. 

Last year during the fight over Iraq troop funding and withdrawal from Iraq we saw two rounds of bills.  The first would force the President to begin withdrawing troops within 120 days.  It passed and was vetoed by the President.  John McCain voted against it and supported Bush's veto. So according to John McCain's own definition he himself voted against funding the troops.  Obama voted against the second round of bills, which did not include any attempt to force the President to bring American troops home.   

So basically according to Republican logic John McCain voted against the troops before he voted for them.  Barack Obama voted for the troops before he voted against them.  This is plain out ridiculous.  The fact that when Republicans vote against funding for our troops it doesn't count, but when Democrats do it, it is somehow unpatriotic is simply the height of hypocrisy.

If we want to have a real debate on Iraq let's have it.  But the supposedly independent Joe Lieberman (Who for the purposes of tonight's speech is suddenly once again a Democrat) should know better.  Enough with the troop funding red herring.  It is a flat out lie.
