"U.S. Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, is scheduled to visit Western Washington on Tuesday for an environmental roundtable in North Bend and a fundraiser at the Hyatt Regency hotel in Bellevue.

holy crap
Screw the fact I was way off, but I was way off. 35 grand to hang with big bad McCain... Man let me just put a mortage out on my vacation home just to attend. No wonder I saw a poor turnout. Wonder if this fundraiser breaks McCain-Feingold finance laws.
That's Only 1000 Ounces of Gold
Before we came off the Gold standards and were guaranteed $35 per ounce.

i wonder
If they'd accept a solid gold bar for a subpar meal, a photo and a magnificant speech on a imperialistuc foreign policy. That's a lot of good stuff... The gold that is. 33 grand, what a crock.
Chances are he's raising
Chances are he's raising money for the GOP.

there was
A coupla of different options one could choose. I think the dinner and speech was 3500 dollars, it was called something silly like straight shot power dinner, and there were some other ones, all of which were in the 4 figure range. He also went to north bend of all places (about half an hour east of seattle, in the foothills of the cascade mountains) to give a speech for an environmental organization. *yawn*
i wonder
how manry fools actually attended
I just checked online
at a Seattle news station and it
said that McCain flew into Boeing field where members of the Boeing Machinists Union
staged a protest.Those workers
said McCain was instumental in
allowing a multibillion dollar Air
Force contract for air tankers to
go to Airbus instead of Boeing
costing 44 thousand jobs.(But
of course this wasn't shown on the news)
Yeah, I believe McCain's
Yeah, I believe McCain's involvement in that cost our economy something like 40 billion dollars (if I'm remembering correctly).
thank for the info wolf
I usta live in seattle does it still rain up there everyday?
Yes,it still rains a lot
I had a Ron Paul Garden Party
at my house for all the meetups
last Sat. and the sky was just black but it didn't rain!That was strange,like we had an angel watching over us!
Actually our climate is
Actually our climate is changing. We now very often have 3 seasons a day. Sun, snow, and rain. Sometimes so close you can see all 3 at one time.

i second this
Weird weather trend we have in the pacific northwest. Last month it fluctuated from 30 degrees and snow, to 70 degrees and sunny 3 times. So much for spring right?
What? No Ron Paul Signs?
IMissLiberty
on the contrary
I was there on my lunch break, grabbed a panini, and sported my homemade 5 x 8 ron paul sign. Didn't seem like many people were there, or maybe I just expected more. The sports bar around the corner had a bigger showing. Saw a coupla people on a street corner with the blue yard signs and such. Bet everyone got a kick seeing a suit and tie waving a massive ron paul sign outside a McCain fundraiser.
that's sick
why would i pay 1000 bucks just to eat with mccain and then waste my food by puking it up after hearing him talk ?
mccain dinner
ha!
that's hilarious. i'd pay 1000$ if i could puke ON him like ghwbush did to the japanese.
no
but you could have got your RP signs and stood outside the event and waited for him to arrive ,remember perception is reality.
I have the flu today
or I would have gone down.I feel bad enough-don't need another reason to puke.On the news there were on crowds,no McCain,nothing.I'll watch the news tonight to see if they add anything.
mccain washington
too bad u didn't go down there and give jmccain the flu.
Darn,I didn't think of that!
I could have given him a big wet one!
yes I know what you mean
we had an anti-mccain rally in Texas awhile back and I considered it latrene duty but it had to get done.hope you get to feeling better.
hey you guys
were suppose to go down their.Did anyone get down there?
