Congressman Sherwood Disses Veterans

The Chris Carney campaign is reporting a disturbing incident yesterday involving Congressman Don Sherwood (R-Choke City). Arriving at a fundraiser he was confronted by veterans protesting his votes. The incumbent, accused of choking his mistress while on duty in Washington, said:

‘1000 WWII veterans are dying every day so we have fewer veterans.’

Wow. How insensitive can someone be? And to people who put their lives on the line to serve this country and protect our freedoms, th every ones Sherwood has been voting to restrict. Don't those surviving WW II veterans still deserve our honor and respect? My father was a Navy veteran of WW II and I take this attitude of Don Sherwood's very badly.

And what about the new veterans Sherwood's support of the illegal Iraq war is creating? They're coming home without arms and legs. I find this attitude inexcusable. If anyone in the 10th CD wasn't sure who to vote for prior to this comment thay should have no doubt any longer.
