Conservatives target McCain's re-election bid

“There are few Republicans who have betrayed our conservative principles more than John McCain,” SCF President Ken Cuccinelli said in an email to supporters Tuesday of the party's 2008 nominee for president.

“John McCain lost his way a long time ago and it's time to replace him with a strong conservative leader who will support and defend the Constitution.”

Like I said previously, please AZ, tell me you have someone who can beat this assclown. Hopefully, an actual conservative.

P.S. Hey Cuccinelli. There are more than a "few" in congress that have betrayed us. Just sayin'.

What is the matter with AZ? They are clueless when finding conservative candidates to run against his old windbag.

If McCain feels himself in trouble, he will do like Graham in SC and ‘encourage’ several ‘conservatives’ to run in the primaries to eliminate any serious competition.

He has a pile of political I.O.U.s and isn’t afraid to use them.

I think he lost his mind in a prison cell in North Viet Nam, myself. He sacrificed a lot, but I’m sorry, this man is patently insane. He clearly has no basis for representing himself, let alone the interests of the constituents of a state, or the entire nation’s interests for that matter. His addled mind is somewhere else we cannot comprehend.

Maybe if we get rid of the song bird wecan find out about our missing pows.

The only reason he is running again is to keep the cover up going.

DING! How about fellow Navy flyer vet and supporter of the 2nd amendment...............mark kelley (ass-tro-naught)giffords. Oh, is he a republicrat? Maybe he’ll be too busy with the puppet show and “fund raising”.

McCain said he would not run again during the 2010 election. That is how ‘his word is his bond’ works with him.

Your post should be the central paragraph in his official biography.

Good news, some random nobody has entered the race. He’ll get 1%-2%, allowing McCain to sneak though over his real opponent (who ever that will be) with under 50% if necessary.

I don’t know how many times I have posted the following, but here I go again.

McCain spent $21,600,000 to Hayworth’s 1.8 million. He is funded by big biz, and all affiliate Chamber whores. McCains operatives went to every local precinct, ang gave them money and jobs. Follow the money.

Cuccinelli didn’t say there were only a few traitors. He correctly put McCain near the top of the list.

Patriots have work to do if we want to drain the swamp in DC.

This is one man, a “PROGRESSIVE RINO” that we must get rid of. And I don’t mean replacing him with another JEFF FLAKE. We don’t need another “5th COLUMNIST”. We need a Ted Cruz “CLONE” or a Mike Lee “CLONE” to run against him.

According to an Arizona Republic story yesterday, McCainiac had $3.5 million on hand as of 3/31/2015. http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/arizona/politics/2015/04/07/arizona-senator-john-mccain-running-re-election-2016/25397365/

In his 2010 Senate primary run, “McCain had raised $4.7 million for his Senate re-election, and had access to more than $20 million leftover from his 2008 presidential effort.” (Wackopedia)

Could be more interesting this time around, though no doubt McCainiac will get plenty of Chamber of Corruption type money. I hope a strong conservative challenger emerges so at least this jerk doesn’t have a cake walk to 36 years in the Senate.

AZ has an “open primary system”.

Until that changes, good luck in getting rid of McCain or another one just like him.

Conservatives in AZ should have been working to change that tilted primary system.

What was going on in that picture? I’ve seen it over and over, but I don’t remember the moment...
