McCain's Base

Militaristic, simplistic and paranoid:

The rest of the questions were non-confrontational, though they often veered to the right of McCain's own positions. One audience member suggested McCain throw out the current Mexican government in order to halt illegal immigration; a young boy suggested the country stop using paper money and revert to silver in order to curb inflation. A third person questioned whether "the administration, and maybe this is classified, has calculated what the daily losses would be under a retreat plan under Obama."

Insert your own commentary. I'm too appalled to educate. Here's McSame's responses:

McCain tactfully deflected most of these questions, saying the Mexican government faced a difficult drug war, he doubted the United States would start using silver dollars, and that he would continue to press for victory in Iraq.

The reporter can call it a tactful deflection all she wants. Looks more like someone who can't give an honest answer to a question to me.
