AZ-Sen. 2010: Tea Party could hit its boiling point in Arizona primary (WaPo attacks J.D.) (BARF!)

When Arizona's bitter Republican primary election arrives in August, it is likely to be 102 degrees in the shade, of which there is little. It is the kind of weather in which only the hearty and highly motivated venture outdoors -- Gila monsters and Tea Party activists. Which may not be good news for Sen. John McCain, who is generally disliked by the latter.

A recent poll puts McCain just five points ahead of J.D. Hayworth, a former congressman and radio talk show host who aspires to be Arizona's Samuel Adams. McCain operatives dispute that the race is this close, but they cannot dispute that McCain is running in a political environment in which absolutely anything could happen to an incumbent.

I'm a goof. That's forgivable.

You, however, are a illegal-immigrant-coddling left-of-center McCain clone and Conservative hater. That's not forgivable.

So yes, you embarrass me. You embarrass Free Republic. You embarrass America.

You don't know me at all.

No freeper has responded with support/justification for JD's earmarks and pork spending, or his votes on the prescription drug entitlement or the 2005 highway bill. I'm left with my original premise that they don't care.

I painted with a broad brush. I should have said SOME conservatives freepers don't care as long as JD hates mexicans. I can't prove why freepers give JD a free ride, but when you throw a stick a pack of dogs...The one who yelps is the one you hit. I received a lot of yelps.

I see. That makes sense. However, the ‘hating mexicans’ thing was over the top and inflammatory. To be opposed to Amnesty and illegal immigration is not ‘hating mexicans’, it is loving the rule of law.
