McCain on Homelessness: Just Ask Arizona Veterans

At the end of the September 26th presidential debate, John McCain stared into the cameras and made a powerful, emotional statement. He said:

I know the veterans and I know them well. And I know that they know that I'll take care of them. And I've been proud of their support and of their recognition of my service to the veterans. And I love them, and I'll take care of them. And they know that I'll take care of them.

But he has not taken care of veterans, according to an article in the Phoenix New Times. In fact, homeless vets in McCain's home state feel betrayed by McCain, a fellow serviceman and perhaps the country's most famous injured war veteran.
