Endorsements from the Veterans of Foreign Wars Political Action Committee have so enraged many VFW members that its elected leaders have asked the PAC to immediately rescind all endorsements for next month's election.

The PAC's leaders flatly rejected the idea Wednesday.

...

"The VFW-PAC will not abandon those in Congress that have supported issues of critical importance to our nation's security and veterans," said a statement posted on the PAC's website.

...

The PAC's criteria for endorsements require senators to vote in favor of the VFW's position on seven of nine measures that were approved in 2008 and 2009. Its criteria for House members require votes in favor of the VFW's position on 10 of 13.

One of the things about being a Life Member is that you pay up front. I look at this the same way I do The Republican Party. We on the Right are a Cancer, we will eat their guts.

To judge by their web site, the Directors are are a bunch of senile old REMPs. The VFW logo belongs to US.

Think of it as the Third Eye Principle. Posts look onto themselves, the Departments looks on to itself, the National Looks inward and doesn't see the worms. I haven't had a chance to do a ferc check yet.

Hey, come on now. You’re giving us senile old REMFs a bad name there.

Thanks NonValueAdded. Important sidebars:

• Veterans group could retract endorsements
• VFW calls on its own PAC to stop endorsements ( Barbara Boxer and Klein )
• Boxer, Waxman Under Fire for Approving Radical Mission Behind Enemy Lines

The VFW-PAC merely needs to be taken back from the left-wing anti-military agents provocateurs who have taken it over.
