Persisting in a war with those who don’t pledge allegiance to the five-term U.S. Senator, John McCain and his loyalists are stomping on efforts to return the Arizona primary election to a pure party primary election.
Just days ago, McCain announced a bid for what would be his sixth term in the U.S. Senate, extending his tenure in Washington D.C. to four decades, having served in the House of Representative prior to election to the Senate. Conservatives promptly came out in revolt against a sustained McCain Senate reign in a campaign highlighting the senator’s liberal history.
A 1998 Arizona ballot measure gave independents a license to vote in the political party primary election of their choosing without having to commit as a registered member of that party. That law is facing a challenge from Arizonans including Libertarians and Republicans. Libertarians initiated court proceedings to return the integrity of their primary, according to the Arizona Republic.
McCain acknowledged Monday that he expects to face a challenge from the right and could benefit from liberal independent supporters in the 2016 primary. The Republic reported, “Many of McCain’s critics support the push to close the primary, with the suggestion being that the closer-to-center McCain benefits from the independents voting in the Republican primary.”

Be a Democrat, and get both Republican establishment votes and Democrat votes.
Where the hell is McCain's melanoma???!?
Yes. "Semi-Open". That means: Open to non-republicans who support him, but Closed to republicans who do not.
Will Sarah Palin endorse him again?
I understand why she did. She had to do one pay-back favor. If she hadn’t, she’d have been COMPLETELY shunned by ALL politicians who would know she doesn’t pay her debts back.
The Thad Cochran-Haley Barbour strategy...stay in power by bribing Democrats and illegals to vote for you.
This is the Republican party these days.
Republicrat Party.
Perhaps someone should make up a bunch of business cards with “Elect McCain for another term, help the Republicrat Party” and just hand them out at AZ mall outlets.
He’s gonna turn out like old Arlen Spector. A traitor to his party in the end because his constituents want to throw away umpty odd years of his traitorship.
About time somebody tries to fix our primaries.
What ‘favor’ did McCain ever do for Palin?
Don’t be coy.
Simple solution.
Vote for John McCain (D) Arizona. Billboards, commercials, the works.
Do it for every RINO. Add that (D) next to their name. Create an Arlen Spectacle.
Palin doesn’t owe McCain squat and hasn’t since 2009.
