AZ 2010: Anti-War Protesters To Greet McCain [at tonight's Phoenix town hall]
KPHO-TV CBS 5 Phoenix, Ariz. ^ | 2009-08-26

PHOENIX -- Sen. John McCain will hold a central Valley town hall Wednesday evening to discuss proposed health care reforms with Arizonans. McCain held a town hall Tuesday in Sun City, where most of the 1,400-plus attendees were retirees concerned about changes in Medicare and their insurance coverage.

Wednesday's meeting may shape up to be a bit different because when McCain arrives, he will be greeted by anti-war protesters. Protest group End the War said it will be waiting outside the town hall with signs calling for the U.S.'s withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Group spokesman Mitch Rubin said that McCain has "jumped on board the president's strategy of seemingly endless escalation in Afghanistan, calling for even more troops to be sent to the nation."

Having Hussein as usurper then any war in an Islamic country is a waste of time. I would be there is a back channel of info to the Taliban to kill our soldiers as the White Hut is filled with Hamas and Muslim Bortherhood stooges.

Has “Mitch” taken the president to task for this “seemingly endless escalation in Afghanistan”, or is he content to just attack the “RINO of the Senate”?

Tell McCain, that HE is the problem with Washington, and you are going to primary him OUT of office. No compromise, NO BILL at all.

That’s because they are too chickens* to picket and demonstrate in front of Obama.

For those who forgot, there was a movement to do a recall election of McCain. It was gaining some traction but they decided to put it on hold because of 9/11. In the past years the same interest in removing McCain from office wasn’t there.

Didn’t these anti-war protesters get the Charlie, oops, Charles Gibson “Enough already!” memo?

Sounds like you support them.
