Summary: VoteVets hits McCain on his failure to support recent GI Bill legislation.
Script of "GI Bill" (TV)
JASON BENSLEY: When John McCain was about my age, our country paid his way through college.
(Text on screen: Iraq War Veteran)
But when a new GI Bill came up in Congress to help today's vets go to college, John McCain, you skipped the vote for a political fundraiser in San Diego.
I used to respect you, Senator McCain. But with your seven houses and lobbyist friends, you're just a Washington guy now.
Vet to vet, Senator McCain, when you put money from your rich friends ahead of vets like me, how is that "Country First?"
