Much was made of the fact that John Kerry had a rich wife. I'm here to tell you that John McCain also has a rich wife, who ostentatiously owns eight homes. Eight! They must move every half season to a nicer climate or something. Maine for August. Florida for February. Skiing in January. New England for Christmas. The Poconos in June.
The man has 100% disability, 100% Social Security, and a Senate salary so he doesn't have to ask for an allowance.
The disability was given to him after VietNam -- he who does not want current veterans to get disability, medical care, or education benefits. Oh he had them, but there is no way he is as decent to the troops as the nasty civilian world was about paying him back when he served.
McCain is lucky that Obama is such a kind and respectful man, or in answer to his "inexperience" remarks, he would hear the "has-been" label that suits him so well.

I'm sure you have quotes to back this assertion up. After all, you wouldn't simply conflate opposition to certain bills that he has specific policy concerns over with a blanket opposition to the principle that disabled veterans receive benefits. That would be intellectually dishonest.
