Seriously, if this is the worst dirt you can find on him, the Dems are in big trouble. Because this had nothing to do with him at all.

The guy (well his wife) owns a plane - it''s around 2 hours to fly from anywhere in FLA to DC. For that amount of good press I would have thought it was a no-brainer to fly back and meet with these unfortunate people (who would be labelled war heroes if they''d been wounded in Bush''s war). So instead he proved conclusively that either he''s the no-brainer or he just doesn''t give $h1t (or both).

Read the story before you post. If you don''t know any of the facts your opinion means nothing.

McCain wasn''t there. This wasn''t his decision.

NO ONE can just go sit/stand in the halls on capital hill and not expect to be arrested.

Use your brain. The police decided to arrest the protestors, not McCain or anyone else in the Republican party. If you had actually read the story, you would know he wasn''''t even there.

I guess this gives us a good idea how he will treat Americans if elected. It''s ashame he still the best of the others,the best of the three evils I guess,don''t expect any help for American''s in the near future. You got a black Muslim that hates whites and Christians,a woman that can''t tell the truth and a 70 year old man that HAS been brain washed by the CHINA, RUSSIA AND VIETNAM WHEN HE WAS A POW. if that''s the best we have in america we are in deep trouble. JUST FOOD FOR THOUGHT could it be any worse then what we have had in past, *** RIGHT IT COULD.

They would have arrested them no matter who they were waiting to see. Seriously, don''t post unless you have thought about what actually happened.

You did note in the story that the protesters were invited to meet with staff members right. You should also realize that everyone knew he was in Florida.

Why, unless you were trying to make headlines, would you go to meet with someone you knew wasn''t there? HMMM?

No answer? Just going to blame McCain for being where he said he was going to be?

Seriously, if this is the worst dirt you can find on him, the Dems are in big trouble. Because this had nothing to do with him at all.

" Shame on McCain " ...!!! Just one more reason why he should not be President ... what harm would it have been to answer questions from this group? Give his views, an open discussion to them ... and send them on ... have them arrested!!! Bad Politics ... Mr. McBush! On second thought...keep it up/so everyone can really see how you work. How soon one forgets...how one is treated themselves!!!

Waiting in the russell office building, in wheelchairs, in the hub of american democracy and they arrest them. I am stunned. I guess this is Mcbush''s new health care plan.

What a bedwetting LIB. This was nothing more than a staged event. The disabled claim they want to be seen as capable people, so they break the law, go to jail. Here''''s the difference between you and me. I''''m in favor for assistance for those truly in need, you are in favor of socialism.

I''m so glad that I''m not like you - it must take practice to be that much of an a$$hole and sleep at night.

McCain had a choice of two headlines today;

"Senator Mc.Cain cut short his Florida trip and flew back to Washington to meet with disabled veterans at his office."

"Senator Mc.Cain and his staff had 20 disabled veterans arrested yesterday for blocking the corridor outside his office."

I guess he didn''t have any choice - if he''d used the first the GOPigs would have accused him of being liberal.
