Senator McCain Ignores Hunger Strike @ His Front Door
 Advertisements [?]Edited on Sat May-31-08 09:33 AM by reprehensor
Now in its 6th day, the hunger strike by Arizona activist Blair Gadsby continues to be ignored by Senator McCain, despite the fact that the strike is taking place literally outside his front door;



The strike was launched on Memorial Day, with a major theme of getting McCain to acknowledge that the 9/11 Commission was a failure, and that there needs to be a new investigation of the events of 9/11.

Gadsby explains why this is relevant to a Memorial Day launch in this video {note the endorsement of the hunger strike by Arizona State Senator Karen Johnson (R)};

Will you join in the call to local media outlets to demand coverage of the hunger strike that does not exist, in the eyes of McCain?

I know that McCain is not Mr Popularity among all Republicans, but way to go ignoring a moonbat protest. 

(translation for n00bs: hunger strike = ingesting industrial quantities of smoothies and ice cream)

Starbucks Vanilla Frappichino + whip = 470 calories (http://www.dietbites.com/Foods-Nutrition-Index/starbucks-coffee-carlories-carbs-fat-protein.html)

McDonald's Double Cheesburger = 440 calories (http://www.mcdonalds.com/app_controller.nutrition.index1.html)

This will be like that stupid cindy whats-her-face's hunger dance on her son's grave.

How many calories does it take to melt steel?

Let's do a chickenwire experiment.  :fuelfire:
Let nothing trouble you,
Let nothing frighten you. 
All things are passing;
God never changes.
Patience attains all that it strives for.
He who has God lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.

When will the DUmbasses get it through their thin skin that the USA is a representative democracy?
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

You don't "decide" by trying to force a Senator's compliance with your wishes through threats of self harm. Maybe you better look up the definition of "democracy" again.

I think McCain should ignore the hunger strike by putting on a great big Bar-B-Que in his back yard...

Don't ignore him, Senator McCain.  Have him tazered.  Shock him out of his misery.  Then offer a bologna sandwich.

I say bologna first, then tazer.. I would imagine shooting bologna out of ones nose is almost as pleasant as milk or soda.

It sounds as if the McCain residence is in need of a pack of watch (attack) dogs.

What! The DUmmies aren't satisfied with welfare and foodstamps, they want to be spoonfed now?

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948
