Okay,
This is from a few years back and you have to read the whole story to get to his quote...I worked for the McCain campaign back in 2000 and I remembered this today and had to find it...
In the world of bashing the candidates and maybe missing the issues...i.e. Obama is a terrorist, Johm Kerry swiftboat crap, the furor over Palin's kid...and well people calling McCain a "homo" this is great...
from McCain's Wikipedia bio...you have to read to the end, but the end doesn't make since without the drawn-out first part...
McCain focused on the New Hampshire primary, where his message appealed to independents.[120] He traveled on a campaign bus called the Straight Talk Express.[113] He held many town hall meetings, answering every question voters asked, in a successful example of "retail politics", and he used free media to compensate for his lack of funds.[113] One reporter later recounted that, "McCain talked all day long with reporters on his Straight Talk Express bus; he talked so much that sometimes he said things that he shouldn't have, and that's why the media loved him."[121] On February 1, 2000, he won New Hampshire's primary with 49 percent of the vote to Bush's 30 percent. The Bush campaign and the Republican establishment feared that a McCain victory in the crucial South Carolina primary might give his campaign unstoppable momentum.[122][113]
The Arizona Republic would write that the McCain-Bush primary contest in South Carolina "has entered national political lore as a low-water mark in presidential campaigns", while The New York Times called it "a painful symbol of the brutality of American politics".[113][123][124] A variety of interest groups that McCain had challenged in the past ran negative ads.[113][125] Bush borrowed McCain's earlier language of reform,[126] and declined to disassociate himself from a veterans activist who accused McCain (in Bush's presence) of having "abandoned the veterans" on POW/MIA and Agent Orange issues.[113][127]
Incensed, [127] McCain ran ads accusing Bush of lying and comparing the governor to Bill Clinton, which Bush said was "about as low a blow as you can give in a Republican primary". [113] An anonymous smear campaign began against McCain, delivered by push polls, faxes, e-mails, flyers, and audience plants. [113][129] The smears claimed that McCain had fathered a black child out of wedlock (the McCains' dark-skinned daughter was adopted from Bangladesh), that his wife Cindy was a drug addict, that he was a homosexual, and that he was a "Manchurian Candidate" who was either a traitor or mentally unstable from his North Vietnam POW days.[113][123] The Bush campaign strongly denied any involvement with the attacks. [123]McCain lost South Carolina on February 19, with 42 percent of the vote to Bush's 53 percent,[130] in part because Bush mobilized the state's evangelical voters[113][131] and outspent McCain.[132] The win allowed Bush to regain lost momentum.[130] McCain would say of the rumor spreaders, "I believe that there is a special place in hell for people like those."
Whether you like him or not, that is damn funny... and I hope it is true...that rumor spreaders go to hell that is...
I wish Earl still did Eldora's track prep.
