Reason #567745 to vote against McCain

My congressman Lynn Westmoreland is a huge supporter of Blackwater...

Bellum omnium contra omnes... reminds us why he should not take pride in this fact.
Security firms in particular, such as Blackwater, compete with the U.S. military for resources. Former soldiers can make much more by leaving military life behind and working for private military firms. This drives up the cost to the U.S. taxpayer. Not only do we lose needed personnel, but we also wind up paying almost six times as much for private security vs. military personnel, according to the House Committee on Government Oversight.

Voting for John McCain empowers people like Lynn Westmoreland to continue to hurt our troops, their families, and our national security. Obama 2008.
