Sen. John McCain Faces Censure from Arizona Republicans for ‘Terrible Record’

The Maricopa County GOP in Arizona have decided to censure Senator John McCain. The resolution accuses John McCain of abandoning the issues of the GOP and to siding with the liberals in the senate and Barack Obama in passing legislation, his constituents oppose, including amnesty for tens of millions of illegal aliens, and betraying his promises to secure the border (“Complete the dang fence“).

John McCain Censured by Arizona’s Republican Leadership

As leaders in the Republican Party, we are obligated to fully support our Party, platform, and its candidates. Only in times of great crisis or betrayal is it necessary to publicly censure our leaders. Today we are faced with both. For too long we have waited, hoping Senator McCain would return to our Party’s values on his own. That has not happened. So with sadness and humility we rise and declare:

Whereas Senator McCain has amassed a long and terrible record of drafting, co-sponsoring and voting for legislation best associated with liberal Democrats, such as Amnesty, funding for ObamaCare, the debt ceiling, assaults on the Constitution and 2nd amendment, and has continued to support liberal nominees;

Whereas this record has been disastrous and harmful to Arizona and the United States; and,

Whereas Senator McCain has campaigned as a conservative and made promises during his re-election campaigns, such as the needed and welcomed promise to secure our borders and finish the border fence, only to quickly flip-flop on those promises; and

Whereas McCain has abandoned our core values and has been eerily silent against Liberals, yet publicly reprimands Conservatives in his own Party, therefore

BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that the Maricopa County Republican leadership censures Senator McCain for his continued disservice to our State and Nation, and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that until he consistently champions our Party’s Platform and values, we, the Republican leadership in Arizona will no longer support, campaign for or endorse John McCain as our U.S. Senator.

I would suspect he would keep the R behind his name. Article was on FR sometime, I think, during the last week.

Ultimately though GWB lost both wars. While the Iraq “surge” seemed successful, events since in both Iraq and Afghanistan have been failures. GWB said “No More Vietnams” and then delivered another Vietnam.

So What?

The practical aspect is zero.

You are correct

If the Republican Party of Arizona had any stones at all, they would abolish the open primary rule. This is all bullcrap to give the Party some standing to start the process to sneak in just another one like him or Flake.

Why not censure Flake as well because he ran on virtually the same campaign and is one of the members of the Gang of 8 and a McCain wannabe.

[mazda77]

Why don’t the likes of you put just a bit of pressure on the Party to dispense with the open primaries? That won’t be a cure all but it will certainly be a step in the right direction.

Don’t feel bad about voting for McCain. I did it myself. The alternative was unthinkable, but got elected anyway.

Yeah, THAT’LL show him!

But at least it’s a start.

I understand that Arizona has open primaries and that McCain’s money brought democrat crossover voters to get him the nomination in the primary.

IMHO Lettuce McLame won because he had $10-12 MILLION left from his Pres election and ran ads on all TV channels every 15 minutes. JD Hayworth raised a couple of million at best and could not compete against that onslaught given that many voters are considered LIV. McLame had Hayworth kicked off his radio talk show because it was "unfair".

In the general I understand that it is easy for any republican to get elected as the state is predominately GOP.

Not so much any more - Today the state is turning PURPLE with the influx of libtards from CA because they are so anti-business and eco-freaks over there. The last election we now have more RAT Reps than GOP-ers. The political landscape today in AZ is not anything like when I moved here in 1965 - BACK then it was a REAL RED state.

In 2012 RATS picked up seats in the US House and GOP did not.

US House 2012

AZ - RATS pick up two seats and GOP loses one

McStupid is wacked.

Those days are gone. There are more Rat Representatives in the House from AZ than Pubbies.
