Let’s Not Forget the Infamous Double Standard
Friends, you may hear sooner rather than later about how Senator John McCain came to Buffalo on Monday for two fundraisers and didn’t talk to the people in the Western New York region who didn’t pay $10,000 for their fillet minion.
Prominent Democrats such as Louise Slaughter and Jon Powers have come out and condemned John McCain for not speaking with the people of Buffalo. Slaughter seemed miffed that he just came to collect his $1 million check. I myself wish McCain would of spoken to folks so they could tell him how badly we need traditional Republican leadership here in Upstate. But I know it would be hard for him to win if his warchest is a billion dollars less than the Democrats. However, once again with the Democrat/Liberal/Progressive/Socialists, they only take offense when a Republican does it.
I seem to recall that Cook County, Illinois Senator Barack Hussein Obama visited New York City on July 9th and 10th. Obama didn’t go to the Big Apple to speak out about the housing shortage, or the War on Drugs, or mandatory minimums, or education reform, or health care for children. Instead he collected checks from fellow liberal elitists at four different fundraisers over two days. Then he hopped back on his private plane and went to squigee more money out of Americans instead of talking about the issues. What is the harm in Democrats talking about issues that concern their constituencies. Are they allergic? Do they break out in hives if they get close?
Sorry, I forgot its OK when the Liberals do it.

I’m sorry, did someone loose a map? NYC isn’t exactly right next to Buffalo or close to any of the local congressional districts.
If Obama had done the same in WNY - where the districts actually have some connection - there would be the same outcry from Republicans.
Just for clarification I’m not justifying any of the actions or attacks on McCain… but you know as well as I that the Republicans would pull the same stuff if the situation was reversed.
I am fine with it. It is very common for a politician to come in for a fund raiser and then leave. Don’t really care if its Obama or McCain.
