GOPers, White House Respond To McCain

Senior Republican officials are not happy with Sen. John McCain for urging his supporters at the SRLC to write in President Bush's name on the Hotline's straw poll. The officials felt that the gesture would be interpreted as political and would call attention to Pres. Bush's precarious position in public opinion polls.

Asked for their response, Dana Perino, a White House spokesperson, told the Hotline: "We certainly appreciate the support and spirit about the gesture." More Perino: "The president is excited about 2006. He looks forward to campaigning for the Republican Party for the 2006 elections; we are the party of ideas and cohesion and it is because of that that we are able to get things done for the American people."

Pressed as to whether the White House would like to see the president get votes, Perino would only say that "the president wants Republican candidates to win in 2006 and we're focused on making that happen."

McCainiac is an arrogant, unstable, backstabbing, underhanded RINO who has already tried to kill the 1st and the 2nd Amendment. Shrillary is even worse. McCainiac or Shrillary would be dangerous for American freedoms.
