Lt. Col. Swindle is obviously a great man and obviously doesn’t represent the PAC’s distorted views.

My understanding is that small group of DemComms put that list out without screening it. They were probably types like John Kerry and Blumenthal who were total phonies shilling for radical Dems who HATE the military.

This list has attempted to do MASSIVE damage in Florida but thankfully most people see through it.

The disgraceful DemComm, Kerry/Blumenthal types who snuck this list through denounced LTC (R) Allen West (who is the BEST of the BEST and a 24 year Army Vet)
…and they endorsed SCUM like Dem Comms Alan Grayson, Cathy Castor, Debbie Wasserman Fungus and multiple other incumbent DemComms, ALL OF WHICH WHO DESPISE THE MILITARY.

I’ve called the VFW times and I urge everyone to do the same. At this point the VFW-PAC should be 100% denounced by the formal VFW Org. and the VFW-PAC should be shut down.

Thanks agasin for this post Moe

can be useful when it informs legislators of issues of concern to veterans. Never had a problem with that. But to make endorsements to sitting candidates for no other reason than they are currently a legislator and they voted on one or two issues important to the PAC is simply shortsighted. Heck, every single lawmaker has probably voted on at least one bill relative to vfw. But, the slight to Brigadier General Walsh, as I pointed out yesterday, should have left no doubt in the PACs mind that Boxer should not be rewarded with the endorsement. It was conduct unbecoming.

The only way to redeem themselves now would be to publicly, loudly, forcefully rescind the endorsement with a detailed description of how poorly Boxer has responded to veterans issues. And then endorse carly. A simple we were wrong, Boxer sucks and also we forgot about the ma’am doing this, that and the other thing. Carly has our endorsement and our veteran’s backs.

clearly, the VFW’s national leadership was asleep at the wheel on this one. How in the world could they allow the PAC, that carries their name, to pull this off?

I’m a life member and have called the national office and emailed them to voice my outrage.

The VFW’s national leadership should certainly take action next August, if that is the soonest that they can legally do so, but that isn’t nearly enough. They should unanimouly repudiate the VFW PAC’s endorsements, through any and all means, including mailing a letter to each and every VFW member.

Unbelievable.

That the VFW Commander call an emergency meeting of the top officers in the VFW, and repudiate the VFW-PAC. A press conference should be called with the National Media, including Cable News and with appearences on talk radio, CSPAN, and FOX ‘s Sean, and O’reilly exposes this fraud what what it is

at the failure of the New York Board of Elections to ship absentee ballots to New York troops serving overseas. This has also happened in other states, especially states with close votes for Senator and Governor, and with Democrat Secretaries of State holding current office. Where is their call for an investigation, especially since the Move Act was passed last year, giving the states plenty of time to get it done? Time for a “wave” vote next election to eliminate most of these officials.

Since 2006 and I called the National HQ and got told to just call the PAC. I was persistent in telling them that for the PAC to endorse Boxer was absolutely a slap in the face to all veterans, especially current serving and surviving members of Iraq and Afghanistan. I realize the guy was just doing his job in answering his phone so I asked him if he got a lot of flak for the endorsement. He said “you have no idea, its been non stop since Friday”.

I think they’ll remove the VFW name from the PAC in the end.

I did call the PAC.. straight to voicemail, no telling what their lines are like.

On the vfw homepage is an article written Tuesday and signed by the vfw’s commander in chief, and the senior and junior vice commanders. You can read the whole thing at vfw.org But the bottom two paragraphs are the best.

___
“As determined in the VFW By-Laws, as the national officers, we have specific responsibilities to take definitive action when events can have a detrimental impact on the organization. It is clear to us that the current situation now demands direct action; therefore, we are requesting the chairman and the directors of the Political Action Committee immediately rescind their endorsement actions.

We also want to stress this request means no endorsement for any Congressional candidate.”

There is more in the letter concerning the convention at which time they’ll debate the PACs future,
