A crowd member holds up signs against military action in Syria as John McCain speaks with constituents during a town hall meeting at the Burton Barr Central Library on Thursday, Sept. 5, 2013, in Phoenix
A number of Sen. John McCain's constituents are not happy with the Arizona Republican's support of President Barack Obama's plan to take military action against Syria. Voters made that much perfectly clear when they confronted him at a town hall in Phoenix on Thursday.
"
We didn't send you to make war for us. We sent you to stop the war," one man said to applause,
CNN reports.
Another man told McCain Congress is ignoring its duty to represent voters.
"This is what I think of Congress," he said, holding a bag of marshmallows in his hand. "They are a bunch of marshmallows. That's what they are. That's what they've become.
Why are you not listening to the people and staying out of Syria? It's not our fight."
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday afternoon passed a new use-of-force resolution that, if passed by the Senate, will give Obama authority to carry out military strikes. It also includes a loophole that may leave room for placing troops on the ground.
The resolution only prohibits "the use of United States Armed Forces on the ground in Syria for the purpose of combat operations." The language seems to leave open the possibility of deploying troops for non-combat operations, such as securing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's chemical weapons.
Comment: Wal-mart is a giant human-crashing corporation that has been caught many times bullying and closing down small businesses, tax evading and money laundering, while being the "largest recipient of public aid" in the US. Do not support this monster.
