(CNN) -- Sen. John McCain knows his way around rough politics: an opponent started rumors during the 2000 presidential race that he fathered an illegitimate African-American, and a CNN fact check called false his 2008 vice presidential pick's assertion that now-President Barack Obama was "palling around with terrorists."
But the veteran politician from Arizona -- first elected to the Senate in 1986 -- said Sunday that the current Republican presidential campaign is the most brutal race he has seen, fueled in part by super PACs that have rivaled campaigns in spending on this election.
"This is the nastiest I have ever seen," McCain said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
The two-time presidential contender is not watching this GOP primary entirely from the sidelines: McCain is among several high-profile political figures actively stumping for Mitt Romney, and one of his roles has been to attack former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on behalf of the former Massachusetts governor.
"When you have a Las Vegas casino mogul - by the way, who gets part of his money from Macao - pouring $20 million into a campaign, obviously that drives up people's unfavorables," McCain said of donations to a pro-Gingrich group by casino magnate Sheldon Adelson and his wife. A casino in the Chinese semi-autonomous region of Macao is owned by a company under Adelson's control. Forbes lists him as the seventh richest person in the United States.

So Americans aren't allowed to own businesses in foreign countries? Earning foreign currency from Chinese tourists is somehow wrong or shady? This douchebag never worked a day in his life. He was an Academy joke, a Naval disaster, and is only alive today because his father was an Admiral. He is fortune's fool. Adelson is a self-made man from a poor Brooklyn upbringing. I despise John McCain with every fiber of my being.
On to the brokered convention and a floor fight with the RINO establishment elites. The long knives are out and we're hungry for these RINO morons. No more Mr. Nice Guy and have the RINO loser rammed down our throats.
Thank your friend, that mighty slayer of fetuses Bishop Willard and his credulous minions.
“When you have a Las Vegas casino mogul - by the way, who gets part of his money from Macao - pouring $20 million into a campaign,”
Where have you been while Soros pours maybe 100 million to left wing Democrats, McCain?
You still pissed off that the casinos cut you off, McCain? Or was it really your wife behind it ? : )
” This is coming from the loser of the 2008 campaign that took a dive to get Obama elected as POTUS.”
“we have nothing to fear from an Obama Presidency”
” I’m here to tell you that Obama is a good family man”
First time in history that a candidate actually CAMPAIGNED
for his presidential opponent!!!!
“I can see Meghan McCain didn’t fall far from the tree.”
She’s the dirty fungus which grows on the surface soil, beneath. (my apologies to Morels and Truffles...)
It seems to me the most disgusting and vile nastiness always ramps up and targets whoever poses a potential threat to Mitt Romney’s nomination... I wonder if there is any rational conclusion one could draw from that observation.

I wonder what the price per word was.
