The comment regarding the disillusion of conservative Republicans is very accurate. The alienation between the grassroots and the Republican establishment in Washington has become a chasm. Brewer, McCain, Flake, all of whom I voted for in the past, no longer deserve my support.
I will not let my hatred for Big Daddy Pimp Rove and his lackeys in the GOPe prevent me from supporting solid conservatives, but no, I won’t be sending money to rubes like Flake.
We have a small vacation home in Scottsdale. Have debated the issue of whether to vote in Arizona or Texas for a number of years but have not changed my registration thus far. Used to live there and my son was born there so I have a lot of interest in the area.
When I was out there a couple of months ago I called McCain’s office in Phoenix, identified myself and said I was very concerned about him because he appeared to be off his meds. Clerk slammed the phone in my ear!
I’m not surprised by the stances that McCain and Flake have taken. I am extremely disgusted with Brewer, however, particularly after she approved the Medicaid expansion. Really expected better of her - guess my original assessment was really wrong.
