John Sidney McCain: "We're Not Sending Any Negative Message"

By GottaLaff

Not only is J Sid negative, he's delusional and dishonest:

ABC News' Teddy Davis and Rigel Anderson Report: In an interview with National Public Radio which is set to run Wednesday on "Morning Edition," Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., argued that he is not sending "any negative message" in his White House run.

"We’re not sending any negative message in our campaign," said McCain. "We’re drawing differences in positions between myself and Senator Obama, which are significant. He wants to raise taxes; I want to keep them low. He doesn’t want to drill offshore or have nuclear power; I want both. I’ve never heard Steve Schmidt say we need a negative message in the campaign. …I’ve run many, many campaigns and I have never believed that we need a strong negative message."

That's a relief. I'm sure he wouldn't want us thinking any of this was negative.

McCain defended the tenor of his campaign when asked about a story in The Wall Street Journal that credited recently elevated advisor Steve Schmidt with the philosophy that campaigns need one positive message about the candidate and one negative message about the opponent.

The Arizona senator argued that he is not sending any negative message even though he is running a series of ads portraying Obama as a lightweight whose fame is undeserving.

Senility would be the most innocuous explanation for his denials.

I can assure you I'm not being negative when I say McCain is a hostile, lying, steaming pile of politician. I'm simply drawing differences between him and someone respectable and qualified to run for the office of president.
