Nearly a year ago, tea party agitators in Arizona managed to get John McCain censured by his own state party. Now, he’s getting his revenge.

McCain doing his best impression of Stalin without the show trials and bullets to the head. I wish McCain was never elected in the first place. If I lived in AZ if McCain and his Mini-Me wanna be Flake want a war then war they shall have.

John McCain is beneath contempt.
He is Senator FREDO to me now. “NOTHING”.

The only thing he ever did right was to introduce Sarah Palin to us.

As an Arizona resident I’ve tried to figure out just how this old relic keeps getting reelected. Now it begins to make sense.

Just remember, Senator. You can’t make us actually get up off the couch and go vote.
To: C19fan
Really?! Why doesn’t he come out the closet and hires avowed communist radicals on his staff... They are so much more cool...

Tea Party folks in AZ ought to turn that cartoon into a flyer & start handing it out NOW. I hope they have someone good to run against him.

So, the TEA Party can work within the GOP to change it, eh?
That's what all the party-first people around here say.

Conservatives who are unhappy with the way the Party behaves can use this SAME PROCESS to remake the party, first in their precinct, then their state as a whole.
It's a cryin' damn shame we have to do this and I often think a 3rd party would be both easier and more effective in the long run.

McCain, with his security net Reid are the true power base of the Senate.
If we can take out McCain in 2016, things might finally start to change.
