McCain Camp's Aggressive Pushback Against Criticism From 'His Base'

When Newsweek ran a story last week on how John McCain and his allies may attack Barack Obama in the fall, the Arizona senator's top adviser fired off a letter calling the article "offensive" and "scurrilous" -- and threatened to kick the magazine's reporter off the campaign plane.

After The Washington Post reported on McCain's support for a land swap that wound up benefiting one of his top fundraisers, McCain called The Post Co.'s chief executive, Donald Graham, last week to complain.

I watched McCain's speach in Florida today and I'm convinced that the only thing he would do if he were to be president is to countinue being a war monger. He want's to keep us in Irag for !00 yrs' he want's to "NUKE IRAN" and now he want's to invade Cuba he is "CRAZY".

How dare the liberal, elitist, commie, oinko, latte sipping, media criticize a genuine war hero just because he has contradicted himself on countless issues and cannot retain the simplest facts about the economy or foreign policy. Shame on you.

Have you noticed John McCain's height is now down another inch?

By the time the GOP Convention takes place, the cameras are going to be sitting on the

floors just to get a glimpse of him.

He is on the tele now boring his crowd of 50 staunch Republicans.

Whoa...........

This rowdy crowd just booed when he mentioned Hillary and Obama.

I am now very, very afraid! : - /

*I swear he lost another 1/4 inch in height during the last 5 minutes.
