Does John McCain think Sen. Arlen Specter is " DANGEROUSLY NAIVE "?
" Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) has long criticized those who are willing to meet with adversaries of the U.S., slamming Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) for willing to engage Raul Castro of Cuba and Hugo Chavez of Venezuela:

– “These steps would send the worst possible signal to Cuba’s dictators: There is no need to undertake fundamental reforms; they can simply wait for a unilateral change in U.S. policy.”

But today, McCain supporter Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) broke with McCain and told reporters that he is planning personal meetings with Chavez and Raul Castro. Specter said he has met with Fidel Castro three times and boasted of pictures with Chavez:


From Miami Herald Feb. 23, 2008 McCain quote:

" Barack Obama's offer to meet face to face with Fidel Castro's successor is ''dangerously naive,'' Republican presidential candidate John McCain said Friday, testing out a potential fall campaign strategy to cast the Democratic presidential candidate as too inexperienced for the world stage."

<http://www.miamiherald.com/979/story/429861.html>


WELL, IF THATS JOHNNY BOY'S CAMPAIGN POSITION REGARDING MEETING EITHER CASTRO or CHAVEZ THEN MAYBE HE SHOULD ANSWER THIS:

Does McCain find Specter, the 16th-most senior member of the Senate, to be “dangerously naive?”

Is Specter advocating policies that are “dangerous to American national security?”

We await the condemnation.

1. I'll be watching closely to see if ANY of the MSM ask McLAME if he thinks Arlen Specter is ALSO
" DANGEROUSLY NAIVE " for planning personal meetings with Chavez and Raul Castro, something he accused Barack Obama of being.

2. That's different - only Dems can be "dangerously naive."
