Arizona's Senior Senator has two in-your-face radio ads ready to run for his 2010 re-election campaign.  I'll bet he's already bought the airtime on the conservative talker where potential primary (or Tea Party) rival and fmr Rep. J.D. Hayworth holds down the afternoon drive. 

In the ads, he says he's ready to get bruises while he is "knocking some sense into heads in Washington".  He claims he is "Arizona's last line of defense" against "President Obama, who "is leading an extreme, left wing crusade to bankrupt America."   And, of course, the voice-over leads off both ads referencing McCain's  heroism in Vietnam.  Oh, by the way, please donate.

We all see so many political e-mails and ads that we kind of become numb to the hyperbole designed to motivate-to-donate.  And, McCain has often shown his nasty side.  But, I must say that this message surprised me - especially when he bolded the line accusing Obama of an extreme crusade to bankrupt America.  Isn't that something only a Muslim-Christian-foreign born-Communist-Fascist-Nazi-Witch Doctor would do?  In light of our discussion earlier this week about the possible McCain-Hayworth primary battle, I guess it shouldn't.  Your reactions?

The text of the e-mail follows, and here is the link to listen to the radio ads.  (I'll try to transcribe them later and add that as a comment.)

My Friend,

I have seen my fair share of battles throughout my years of service to our country. In the Senate, I have waged war against wrong, whether it is today's massive federal spending, government-run health care or violent extremism that threatens our great nation.

President Obama is leading an extreme, left wing crusade to bankrupt America -- leaving the bill with our children and grandchildren. I stand in his way every day in an effort to serve as a voice for the millions of Americans who disagree with the direction he is taking our country. If I get a bruise or two knocking some sense into heads in Washington, so be it. I'll keep fighting for jobs, economic growth and reduced spending as long as I'm in serving in the U.S. Senate.

We're anticipating a competitive reelection race and have launched our first radio ads in Arizona highlighting my efforts to represent our shared values. You can preview the two ads by following this link.

After listening to the ads, I ask that you consider making a generous contribution of $25, $50, $100, $250 or more to help our campaign expand our ad buy. We want all Arizonans to hear these messages and every dollar you generously give today will enable our campaign to continue playing these ads and others like them.

Today, we are engaged in a battle to save jobs, secure our nation's borders and cut the Democrats' out of control spending. The polls show we are in a strong position to win, but in my life I have taken nothing for granted, and that's why we are running an aggressive reelection campaign. I remain committed to winning this campaign, but my greatest strength is my base of supporters and I will only succeed if I have you on board.

Please follow this link to make your immediate donation of any amount up to the $4800 legal limit to my reelection campaign. Your support is a tremendous boost to my ability to continue serving as a voice of reason in Washington. I pledge that I will continue fighting each day to bring economic growth, fiscal sanity and a strong defense to our nation.

My sincere thanks,

John McCain

P.S. Our campaign has just released our first radio ads of my reelection campaign and I want you to be among the first to hear them. Please follow this link to listen to the ads and make a generous contribution of any amount to enable our campaign to expand our ad buy. We want as many people as possible to hear this important message. Thank you.
