30 Second Ad: Heller said McCain "protecting terrorists..."

LVRJ - Sep. 26, 2006 Heller, on the other hand, has foregone his past tendency to run the same way. At a candidate forum earlier this year, when he had to square off against Angle and former Assemblywoman Dawn Gibbons, he said he didn't favor a fence along the border. In interviews he liked to talk up Arizona Sen. John McCain as a role model. Now he supports a fence (at least in populated areas) and thinks McCain has gone astray. "I'm not happy with his position on torture," Heller said during a meeting with the Review-Journal's editorial board last week. "I'm so mad at those three, McCain, Warner and Graham." McCain, Virginia Sen. John Warner and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham led Republican opposition to Bush's policy on interrogating terrorism suspects. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell joined in as the Senate Armed Services Committee rebuffed Bush. "I think they're far more concerned with protecting terrorists," Heller said of the Republicans who opposed the president's plan. Senate Republicans subsequently announced they had reached a compromise with Bush. http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/2006/Sep-26-Tue-2006/opinion/9828331.html
