He does hate the "right wing" because they do not want a freak as the Commander in Chief. They also do not want all the Baggage that Mccain brings including the "Keating" mess, the Cyndi Mccain felony forging and stealing of Prescription painkillers, the Organized crime connections of his father-in Law(The Beer Magnate) in Arizona, and many other minor sets of "Baggage". John Mccain is loved by the News Media lefties because he has this anger against Republicans and they can always get inside dope on the Republicans from him and they can get nasty anti Republican sound bites to use against GWB and GOP leaders. McCain thinks that the media really will support him against a Democrat contender. He is so stuck on stupid it is amazing he can even brush his own teeth. The media has been building huge data banks of weird stuff that Mccain has said,racist,anti-gay, anti-female jokes,plus his mental problems, etc. They are waiting for the perfect opportunity to spring all this off the wall stuff on him should he become the Republican Candidate. They have been holding back on so much nutty stuff (offputting to the public)it is a wonder they even print anything about him anymore. They must be real experts at the cut and splice.
