John McCain's $21 million campaign (against conservatives, Tea Party)
The Washington Post ^ | 2010-08-23 | Chris Cillizza

Sen. John McCain has raised and spent better than $21 million in advance of tomorrow's primary fight against former Rep. J.D. Hayworth, a massive amount of money that has helped to ensure that the Arizona Republican will win easily.

McCain's eye-popping spending -- putting aside self-funders he has spent the most money of any Senate candidate this cycle --is the most obvious evidence of the threat that the 2008 Republican presidential nominee perceived in Hayworth -- a six term Congressman who lost a re-election bid in 2006.

McCain spent millions (and millions) on television ads aimed at blocking Hayworth from becoming a national symbol of the conservative cleansing that many within the party believed to be necessary.

It is not over folks. The liberal media has gone insnae today with ednless stories to prop up McCain. This has been going on for weeks. He spent 2008 money for the race against Obama which McCain threw. $21 million - he would not have spent that much unless he was worried he was gonna lose.

McCain is scum.

If Az residents reelect this ball of excrement, I no longer give a smelly Obama about their illegal alien problems.

It is true that McCain is running to the right of Barry Goldwater and spending with a shovel to beat JD, but we know he will return to his old ways once the election is over.

Imagine if McCain had fought even a 10th as hard to become president...

I will never forget McCain telling us all that we had nothing to fear from a Obama presidency.... meanwhile this whole election he has been telling people how much they have to fear from Hayworth.

I wish... ah forget it.

>> He spent 2008 money ...

McCain figured he’d lose POTUS 2008, and decided to hold the cash for his 2010 Senate race.

McCain is at war with conservatives. Always has been always will be. A nano second after the primary he will break from the center and go back with his commie rat marxist leftist friends. The no good back stabbing turncoat expletive etc.

The Radical RNC imposes it’s progressives on it’s members for the last time for me. Send big bucks to J.D, and email all your Arizona friends to do the same. It’s time we took our party back!

Arizona is no longer a conservative state thanks to the first Amnesty, motor voter and anchor babies.

It means illegal immigration is such a big problem that people who already squeaked across the border know something has to be done about it.

I wish tomorrow was not our primary day. I’m afraid Juan will be bustin’ his ass “reaching across the aisle” to his commie buddies again on Wednesday. What a dirtbag.

Got a robocall tonight from McCain urging me to vote for Jonathan Paton.

Now I’m totally sure our household is voting for Kelly.
