Frank Negative Ad Ideas I haven’t been very helpful to the McCain campaign, but I still am a registered Republican (until I finally register in Idaho where you don’t register to a party — I guess they just assume you’re a Republican), so I guess I should help some.

Do you think anyone will find out that I, John McCain called my wife a c-u-n-t in 1992?
Three reporters from Arizona, on the condition of anonymity, also let me in on another incident involving McCain’s intemperateness. In his 1992 Senate bid, McCain was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, Cindy, as well as campaign aide Doug Cole and consultant Wes Gullett. At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain’s hair and said, “You’re getting a little thin up there.” McCain’s face reddened, and he responded, “At least I don’t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt.” McCain’s excuse was that it had been a long day. If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days.Thank god you won’t hear this news on television. I’m safe.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADmuftIjlSE

McCain deceptive ad
Shouldn’t politics bring out the best in people? Maybe it should but it doesn’t. Whether it is Hillary Clinton playing the race card or John McCain attacking Barack Obama because he canceled a visit with our troops in Germany. McCain made it sound like Obama will not go anywhere without the cameras. And he made it sound like Obama has never visited the troops. The only thing that was truthful about this ad is that John McCain appears to have approved it.
