McCain discovers Obama's from the "extreme left-wing"
2010-01-08
John McCain has run against Barack Obama before.

He's running against him again.

With campaign radio ads billing the five-term Republican senator as "Arizona's last line of defense,'' the GOP's nominee for president in 2008 is attempting to bolster his 2010 campaign for reelection to the Senate with a slam at the president.

"President Obama is leading an extreme left-wing crusade to bankrupt America,'' McCain says in one of the radio ads his campaign is airing.

"I stand in his way every day,'' McCain says. "If I get a bruise or two knocking some sense into heads in Washington, so be it.''

McCain got his own head-knocking in the 2008 presidential election, and now he could be facing a party primary contest from a former Republican congressman, J.D. Hayworth, who is an outspoken critic of immigration reform -- an issue which McCain has championed in the Senate, and an issue on which McCain, Obama and some of the Senate's leading Democrats happen to agree. They support a path to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants.

#7  Pity he didn't clue in earlier. Might have done him some good to bring this up during the 2008 campaign. Now instead of using it against The One himself, McCain uses it instead against a real conservative. Sadly, we have learned to expect nothing else from this man.

#5  McCain's AZ polling numbers must be seriously in the tank if he's spending money this early.

#4  McCain exhibited a shameful challenge of Obama and is all wrong on the issues, like much of the RNC.

I wish Hayworth the best.

Much like most of the Republicans, nowadays.
