Line 29: − Washed-up, retired generals and VoteVet board members are VoteVet TV ad spokesmen. Former Democratic presidential candidate and retired Gen. [[Wesley Clark]] and all people in his organization, made huge errors and incorrect battlefield assessments regarding their views on Iraq. They doubted our brave men and women in uniform, they doubted [[General Petraeus]]. VoteVets was wrong when they politically positioned themselves against the [[Surge]] military campaign.+

During the 2006 mid-term elections, the group spent roughly $2 million trying to get [[liberal]] Democrats elected into office by going after numerous Republican politicans. <ref>http://www.nytimes.com/cq/2007/05/11/cq_2709.html</ref> Senators targeted by the VoteVets.org campaign included: spending $45,000 on ads targeting [[George Allen]], also [[Rick Santorum]], Conrad Burns, and [[Jim Talent]].

A 2007 [[New York Times]] article published about Gen. Batiste in Iraq, making a television ad denouncing Bush for VoteVets. It was a dereliction of sworn duty to country to attack a sitting President. The ad reads, {{cquote|You continue to pursue a failed strategy that is breaking our great Army and Marine Corps. I left the Army in protest in order to speak out. Mr. President, you have placed our nation in peril. Our only hope is that Congress will act now to protect our fighting men and women.}}

As a news correspondent, it was a dereliction of duty to his employer CBS News to earn $500,000. from VoteVets.

In 2009, VoteVets political television ads appeared promoting a candidate and an environmental agenda. Environment is a [[DNC]] promoted issue and VoteVets stated goal is to be military centric, which is deceitful.

Former Democratic presidential candidate, TV spokesman retired Gen. [[Wesley Clark]], made huge errors and incorrect battlefield assessments regarding their views on Iraq and the[[ War on Terror]]. He undermines our nation (publically claiming "Because of Iraq, there are more terrorists in the world."), doubted our brave men and women in uniform, he doubted [[General Petraeus]] all over their hatred for the President, during time of war. Just like the entire VoteVets organization, they were all wrong when they politically positioned themselves against the U.S.-led Iraq military [[Surge]].
