Minuteman Project THROWN OUT OF JOHN McCAIN's OFFICE -- After Action Report Part II
Self | June 4,2006 | The Spirit Of Allegiance (former screen name Blurblogger)

Posted on 06/04/2006 8:01:07 AM PDT by The Spirit Of Allegiance

Friday, May 12, I with about a dozen others in the Minuteman Project Caravan to Washington D.C. visited the offices of Senators offices on both sides of the 'Amnesty' issue. We first stopped by the office of Senator Jeff Sessions and expressed our GREAT APPRECIATION for his heroic fight against the Leftists and the compromised 'Conservatives' in the Senate. His staff was very pleased to host our group.

Then, we went to some that were not exactly heroes, at least not lately. As a group or individually, I also visited the offices of Frist, Feinstein, Brownback and a number of others.

I had the audacity to write in Senator Chuck Hagel's public Guest Book a written demand that he enforce the law and uphold the Constitution. Anyone who can verify my May 12 entry there--as a taxpayer very appropriately utilizing taxpayer-purchased materials--please feel free to do so. But I'll bet that particular book just winds up 'lost' or missing a page.

A photographer from The Washington Times was with us for the final several hundred miles along the Caravan. She photographed the Hagel guest book while we were in his office. I don't think the photo made it into print, however.

I made a similar entry in Senator John McCain's guest book that same day. Various members of the caravan were present. While I wrote, others politely but firmly insisted that Senator McCain uphold the U.S. Constitution. Although we were peaceful, the tall young man at the front desk probably pushed a hidden button, because without his phoning anyone, a dour, dark-haired woman looking to be in her 40s, with a silent man about the same age, came from behind varnished doors. She told us to leave immediately or we would be reported to the Capitol Police and arrested. Wow. So much for constituent free speech!

She had no name tag on. I asked her name but The Dour One refused to provide the information. I asked her title but she remained silent. If dirty looks could kill, there would have been a dozen Minuteman corpses! The silent man accompanying her seemed to be also mute--or ashamed of his name as well. We left. I WISH I had a photo of that, um, public servant. There was a private photo taken of the McCain guest book by our group; I hope to locate who took it.

The Dour One was not a junior aide, she was some sort of senior staffer for McCain. McCain would have wanted us treated exactly that way. Yes, constituents like us make it very inconvenient for humble public servants to arrogate their wishes upon a dumbed-down populace. And we intend to make it even harder for such dour parasitic lice as these to remain AS public servants.

People of Arizona, you need to send some people in for Sensitivity Training. Not as in sensitivity to my feelings. Sensitivity to what the whole McCain staff is going to need for their NEXT JOBS after we vote Treacherous Johnny out of office!

A recent FR poll asked whether I'd vote for McCain vs. Hillary for President. I didn't vote. I DO NOT TRUST THE MAN. And the way his staff treated us was exactly how I'd expect to be treated by a political enemy. I guess I am--because I expect anyone on a governmental payroll in the United States of America to be loyal to the U.S. Constitution, to say the Pledge of Allegiance and to defend this Country--not betray it. Mr. McCain, thanks for your past service, but you are now no friend of America, Sir.

Meanwhile, it is IMPERATIVE that true Conservatives not be dismayed or alienated from the GOP--we just need to weed out the untrustworthy RINOs and CINOs posing as Republicans. THAT is the solution, not being divided-and-conquered by Leftist friends like McCain!

Because truly ... "the [evil Marxist liberal socialist Democrat Party] alternative is unthinkable" -- Jim Robinson

We did the same type of stuff every time Clinton came to town. How many Freepers remember?

That is not John McCains office, it is our office that he is currently occupying. Reading this I don't get the impression that these people were causing a disturbance. I do however sense a arrogance on the part of McCains staff, I thought our politicians should welcome opposing views in the arena of Ideas, not try to squelch them. The more glimpses I get into McCains true character the less I like .

Here is a list McCain's key staff.

Chief of Staff: Mark Salter
Scheduler: Ellen Cahill
Legislative Director: Ann Begeman
Communications Director: Eileen McMenamin

If it was Eileen McMenamin, you might be interested in knowing that she's married (yes married) to LA Times political writer, and CNN political analyst Ron Brownstein.

Here's a picture of McManamin (left) with Judy Woodruff and her husband Brownstein.

I'm still surprised he won last time. But, there are a lot of people who do not follow politics who think McCain is some sort of hero because the media says so. I have moderate in-laws who think he's great. When I told my sister-in-law his stance on illegals before these bills came out, she said he probably was just more compassionate because he had been prisoner in a foreign country.

Does she live in AZ?

I'd like to see what she says in five or ten years.

He talks out both sides of his mouth when he is here and the local media (even one of the talk radio hosts) worship him.

I didn't realize that that was his mouth that he was talking out of.

Almost wants to make me move to AZ just so I could vote against him. I called his office last week (along with the other 23 RINOS) and said I'd do everything I could to make sure he never makes it on the ballot in 08. He long ago used up his "Viet Nam/POW/war hero" capital. Ed Rollins even said that he and Frist just lost any chance they may have had in '08.

The woman in the middle *could* have been The Dour One on a good day (she only scowled at us), however on May 12 The Dour One was a brunette.

McLame is our enemy within:

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the galleys, heard in the very hall of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor--he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and wears their face and their garment, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation--he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city--he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared."

"The Ballad of John McPain. Maverick"
Who is the tall dark stranger there?
Maverick is the name
Ridin' the trail to who knows where,
Luck is his companion,
Gamblin' is his game.

Smooth as a handle on a gun,
Maverick is the name
Wild as the wind in Oregon
Blowin' up a canyon,
Easier to tame.

Riverboat, ring your bell.
Fare-thee-well, Annabelle.
Luck is the lady that he loves the best.

Natchez to New Orleans,
Livin' on jacks and queens,
Maverick is a legend of the West.

"the people will remember McCain's arrogance when he is running for president in 2008.

Missouri Primary will definitely say NO to McCain. "

I have no idea why anyone, even crazed leftists, could believe McInsane has any chance at the nomination.
