Today’s visit by Republican presidential candidate John McCain is stirring passions of aerospace workers, Planned Parenthood supporters and, as always, the Democratic Party.
As the Herald’s Michelle Dunlop posted this morning, machinists are planning to greet and growl at the man they hold responsible for scuttling Boeing’s bid for the multi-billion dollar air tanker contract.
Meanwhile, the Washington State Democratic Party today posted another political video ad on YouTube. This one links McCain and Dino Rossi. You can view it here. When McCain finishes talking about his green environmental agenda in North Bend, he will head to Bellevue to rake up some green for the campaign and that’s where folks from Planned Parenthood will be standing by with a few things to say at him.
According to the organization, protesters will gather at 4 p.m. across the street from the Hyatt Regency where McCain will be the guest of honor at a dinner event. From the Planned Parenthood press release:
McCain’s positions on reproductive health care are an unexplored topic in this election. His stance puts him at odds with a key demographic – women voters in swing states. It’s not just that McCain wants Roe vs. Wade overturned. He is also out of touch with basic preventative health care for women like affordable birth control, family planning, and comprehensive sex education.
