PHOENIX (AP) - Arizona Sen. John McCain spent another $3.6 million last month in his bid to secure re-election.

He's now spent almost $20 million on the race, nearly all of it since former Congressman J.D. Hayworth began challenging him in the Republican primary earlier this year.

The McCain campaign on Friday released a summary of the latest campaign finance report, which covers July 1 through Aug. 4. The four-term senator raised $400,000 during the period and transferred $2.9 million that was left over from his failed presidential bid.

More proof that McCain is fighting J.D. harder than he ever fought Obama and his Marxist brigades.

Rabs...more proof. When McCain brought on Palin, I gave in and decided to support the old fool. Our county Republican office simply could not get the McCain campaign to send ANY materials, much less a yard sign. There simply was NO campaign in many parts of the country.

Another thing...his getting to use that money by transfer is BS, and shouldn’t be allowed....WHY didn’t he spend it trying to defeat Obama?????

WHY???????

From the 2008 presidential campaign accounts.

You know, the money that foolish conservatives thought they were giving to Sarah Palin.

FLUSH THE JOHN! McCain HAS to go!
(To the tune of Frankie & Johnny!)

Johnny and Teddy were Senators
On opposite sides of the aisle
They got together and drafted a bill
Guaranteed to make illegals smile
Amnesty was their game – and they had no shame

Johnny and Senator Feingold
Gave campaign finance a try
But then the highest court in the land
Said the 1st amendment must apply
Gotta play by the rules – now Johnny looks like a fool

Johnny and Mr. Obama
They both agree Gitmo should close
But bringing terrorists into the USA
Is a plan that we oppose
No, they don’t belong – and Johnny’s got it all wrong

Now Johnny and Senator Lieberman
Got together on cap and trade
Anemic hands across the aisle
Gonna send the country to its grave
It’s time to let him know – old Johnny’s gotta go

Johnny believes Global Warming
Limousine Liberals and all
Congressional junkets to Copenhagen
Everybody’s havin’ a ball
Just ask Al Gore - Johnny knows the score

S & L Man Charlie Keating
He came to Johnny one day
Said “the government boys are sniffing around
How much to make ‘em go away?”
Did Johnny take a bribe to join the Keating 5?

Now fast-forward 20 years later
Banks are in trouble again
Johnny says, “Let’s bail ‘em out
It’s just a trillion – or maybe ten.
Let’s put some wind in their sails – ‘cause they’re too big to fail.”

We know there’s oil in Alaska
Drilling won’t cause any harm
But Johnny agrees with the tree-hugging geeks
Gas is gonna cost a leg and an arm
Johnny why can’t you see what’s good for you and me?

Now everyone knows about ACORN
They get lots of taxpayers’ dough
Prostitution rings and voter fraud
And home loans to any old schmoe
No matter ACORN’s crimes – Johnny thinks they’re just fine

We’re tired of hearin’ your flip-flops
We’re tired of hearin’ your lies
You may think we’re all dummies but you can’t
Pull the wool over our eyes
You’re career’s hit a snag - so start packin’ your bags

‘Cause Johnny, you’ve worn out your welcome
It’s time to bid DC goodbye
Go write a book or learn to cook
And eat a little humble pie
Just ask Sheriff Joe – he says you gotta go

Yeah, go Johnny, go – it’s time to hit the road.
Good-bye

MUST SEE!! on YOU TUBE!

Because McCain is a self-serving pr*ck who only cares about himself.

That's why he threw the election to Obama.

How is this not a crime ?

If you were within striking distance of winning the Presidency, why wouldn't you spend every last dime of campaign money trying to win ??

He is running the dirtiest campaign ever. Had he been that hard on Bambi he would have been elected.

McCain only was allowed to spend, if my memory is right, $80 million for the 2010 General Election; as another poster he did not even spend all the money he could. He spending a fourth of that in just a GOP primary in Arizona!

Because a landslide of 365(!) electoral votes isn't "striking distance."
