Seems like Old John McRage has a long history of abusing his power:About a year later, McCain reportedly erupted again, this time at a meeting with Arizona's then-Gov. Evan Mecham , who was about to be impeached after being indicted on felony charges.Karen Johnson , then Mecham's secretary and now an Arizona state senator, recalled how McCain told Mecham that he was "causing the party a lot of problems" and was an embarrassment to the party."Sen. McCain got very angry," Johnson recalled, "and I said, 'Why are you talking to the governor like this? You're causing problems yourself. You're an embarrassment.' "Johnson would go on to work at three different jobs over the next five years, and she said that each time, McCain would contact her boss and try to get her removed.The McCain campaign didn't respond to repeated requests for comment.

If you watch how McCain is bullying the press TODAY, what kind of America will we have when he is president!! They will only be able to broadcast what he SAYS they can broadcast. OR ELSE.More ABUSE OF POWER. More PRESS MANIPULATION. Reminds me of GW and his press manipulation tactic on the lead up to the war after war. Press manipulation has its consequences - all bad for us - especially when we'll have a DRAFT looming next time around. The symptoms are all there, people. McCain will lie to us with an eerie smirk on his face, manipulate the press, bully and incriminate whoever gets in his way, lead us into war, institute the draft, and he has a side-kick who will call it all a Holy Crusade from God. Double-trouble. WAKE UP AMERICA!

Are you so doped up that you cannot register that your country is literally feet away from crashing into the iceberg? Do you really want to vote to die like the wooly mammoths and the dinosaurs who now juice and lubricate your 8-liter monster pick-up trucks-cum-SUV's?Watch what happens when they all run dry and leave YOU stranded on the highway to hell.America - you face the crucial question: are you ready to get into the passing lane, or are you going to vote for MORE OF THE SAME and swerve into the DITCH?The choice is yours.God help us, as Bill O'Reilly says...
