May

Arizona Sen. John McCain’s attendance at tomorrow’s nights New York GOP dinner isn’t just drawing the attention of Rudy Giuliani supporters. Anti-war protesters are also planning to make a night of it.

A coalition of groups seeking to end U.S. involvement in the Iraq war, including Citizen Action (Americans Against Escalation in Iraq) and United for Peace and Justice/NYC, have announced plans to stage a protest outside the Sheraton New York Hotel in Manhattan, where the dinner is being held. The protest is to begin at 6:30 p.m.

McCain has been on the biggest supporters in Washington of the recent increase in U.S. forces being deployed to Iraq.

One Response to “Giuliani, McCain & protesters at GOP dinner”

  1. the consultant

    personally am extremely disappointed in John McCain
    last presidential election he captured the attention of the
    nation with his straight talk express..now unfortunatel
    he is captured himself by the president, the right
    wing of the party which supports the war, and the neocons
    who started the war based on cherry picked intelligence
    that they themselves created from intelligence reports
    that did not back up their claims of nuclear yellowcake
    iminent threat, WMD’s, and did not listen to the generals
    who knew that toppling sadam was easy…stabilizing
    a new democracy required a political not a military
    solution..McCain is out of step not only with the majority
    of the nation but in my opinion the majority of his own
    party
