And Johnny Goes Marching On...
I don’t like John McCain. I trust him even less. Marcie and I live in Arizona, and see how this two-faced ass keeps getting reelected by a foolish voting populace. He reminds me mof Sen. Ted Kennedy, only not as liberal as the Massachusetts swim coach. McCain’s an opportunist, but his true colors showed during last year’s election. He simultaneously praised the president, especially on the war, then when the president wasn’t around, he’d criticize the war effort. McCain, the ever-hungry-for-MSM-attention whore that he is, met with Mother Sheehan.
WASHINGTON - Peace mom Cindy Sheehan didn't change her opposition to the war in Iraq after meeting Tuesday with one of its supporters, Sen. John McCain, a Vietnam veteran whom she called "a warmonger."
Sheehan thanked McCain for meeting with her, but she came away disappointed.
"He tried to tell us what George Bush would have said," Sheehan, who protested at the president's Texas home over the summer, told reporters. "I don't believe he believes what he was telling me."
McCain, R-Ariz., also seemed disappointed in the meeting, which he said had been misrepresented as including some of his constituents. Only one person in her small delegation has ties to the state, and that person no longer lives there.
The two exchanged views about the war, and McCain described the conversation as "a rehash" of opinions already well known. He said he might not have met with Sheehan had he known none of his constituents was in the group.
Although McCain has criticized the handling of the Iraq war, he has supported President Bush's call to stop terrorism abroad before it reaches the U.S. Sheehan, whose son, Casey, died in Iraq last year, has energized the anti-war movement with her call for troops to be brought home.
"He is a warmonger, and I'm not," Sheehan said after meeting with McCain. "I believe this war is not keeping America safer."
"She's entitled to her opinion," McCain said. "We just have fundamental disagreements."
Sheehan's conference with McCain was one of several scheduled this week as part of her campaign to persuade members of Congress to explain the reasons for the war. She spoke before a massive anti-war rally Saturday on the National Mall and was arrested Monday demonstrating in front of the White House.
Sheehan and McCain had met once before, shortly after the funeral of her son. Sheehan said Tuesday that McCain told her then that her son's death was "like his buddies in Vietnam" and that he feared their deaths were "for nothing." McCain, however, denied he made such a statement.
Later, Sheehan cut short her appearance at the University of Maryland, leaving a rally after about 10 minutes.
Karen Pomer, a spokeswoman for Sheehan, said, "She's exhausted and she's not feeling well, but she intends to meet her obligations."
B-O-O H-O-O. Please. Enough already. This woman is irrelevant, and a partisan whore of the Left-wing moonbat societies. And McCain’s meeting with her shows his true colors, too. He can say that this was about meeting with constituents, but us smart people know better. This wasn’t about meeting with a grieving, upset mother. This was about getting his name in the papers, on the TV, and showing everyone that he cares. Uh huh. Clinton cared, too. He might even have come onto Mother Sheehan.
This was calculated. McCain did this to play a game of one-upmanship with the president. He refused to meet with this nut. McCain agreed to, which is a level of criticism in and of itself. That was reason number one to do it. He still has not gotten over the year 2000; sounds particularly Democrat-like, doesn’t it?
He was also looking to the media to cover this and hype it so they could propel Mother Sheehan back up to the "top’ again, while similarly ramming this woman back down our throats. Don’t believe McCain when he tries to spin his reasons for seeing her. It wouldn’t have mattered whether one of his constituents were present or not. This was rank opportunism at it’s worst, and I’m happy to see it’s backfiring for both of them.
