So Moore's record on veterans issues is strong, hence the endorsement. But Kris Kobach is perplexed...“I think he has done a lot legislative-wise for veterans' benefits and active-duty personnel and we really, really appreciate that,” said Ray Calore, commander of the VFW's District 2 in Kansas. “There are so-called politicians of all persuasions out there, Democrat and Republican, who obviously don't do enough. I think Dennis Moore is doing a fine job for veterans.” ...
The VFW's Web site shows that Moore consistently voted the way the organization wanted during 2003. Among other things, Moore voted for a $23.9 billion appropriation for Veterans Affairs, according to the VFW.
Kobach called the VFW's endorsement of Moore “really strange,” especially because the congressman voted against a constitutional amendment banning desecration of the flag.Wow, great comeback.
Are you sure the VFW isn't interested in gay marriage, too? Add another random cultural issue on there and you may be able to swing the endorsement...
