"Hypocrite" is not a strong enough word. I'd go with "traitor".

(9,895 posts)That douchebag has done more harm to the future than all of the others combined.
What they have done regarding veterans is disgusting and shameful and should be asked of everyone of them at every single campaign stop and debate and public appearance they make for the rest of their political careers...but what Inhofe has done regarding climate change and science education should be emblazoned on his family name for all time...he should replace "Benedict Arnold" in the annals of treason and traitorous behavior.

(52,155 posts)Both Leslie Graham and Richard Burr voted for the war in the US House, where they were serving at the time, I would bet there are quite a few others as well.

(9,350 posts)This graph(at least the names) should be used to put an end to the myth that Republicans support our military personnel. How many times have Republicans voted for policies that hurt our military personnel and then voted against policies that helped our military personnel? Even though John McCain is a veteran he( at least for a time) opposed legislation that would increase the amount of educational funds given to military members through the G.I. Bill on the grounds that it would cause an increase in the numbers of military personnel leaving the military in order to pursue an education.
