McCain's paid staff waste their time on parody website of this one - about a straw poll!

This is hilarious. If you are contributing to McCain's U.S. Senate campaign (or contributed to Palin when she was running with McCain for president), guess where your money is going? Besides to TV ads bashing JD Hayworth, it is going to pay staffers to sit around and create parody websites of this one. Seriously. The parody website they have created mocks this website for posting a straw poll from Fountain Hills Republican Club showing JD beating McCain by more than a 2-1 margin. They have posted a clip from a radio show of one of McCain's biggest promoters, Barry Young, who devotes hours of free radio time to spreading positive press about McCain on his show (must be nice). Uh, what's their point? I've posted numerous polls on this site about the race. Fox News cites straw polls constantly (a google search for  - straw poll Fox News - reveals 114,000 results). In fact, this particular poll is interesting because there is a saying, "as Fountain Hills goes, so goes the Valley" when it comes to voting. If that is how McCain is spending contributors' money, scrounging desperately for something to attack like a website for posting a straw poll, maybe they're not so confident after all about this race.

Oh and hello to the McCain government staffers who were AGAIN illegally using their government computers to do opposition research on my website today. I see how much you care about campaign finance reform. It's an FEC violation.

Notice in this first visit, they're reading about their own illegal activity.
