Look friends, it’s obvious that Fox News is enamored with Juan McCain and they are doing everything they can do to win his primary for him. Forgive me for being crass but they are playing that lame ass McCain sound bite (about the deathcare bill) ad nauseum. Sean Hannity is on his show, once again schmooching John McCain’s rear end as though the guy’s last name is Romney.
This is exactly what Fox did in the past presidential primary which got us McCain as our candidate and got us Hussein as terrorist in chief. They appear to be totally shutting out Hayworth and this is disgusting. I could be wrong but I have Fox on morning noon and night and I cannot REMEMBER the last time I saw Hayworth on the network. The last time I saw JD was on CNBC.
This is 2008 all over again.
Here are my past two columns on McAmnesty: March 10, 2010
My Tough Love response to a McCain Enabler by MrArbitrage
I received many emails regarding my column on the McCain v. Hayworth Senatorial race. One reply to which I devoted great solicitude was by a gentleman who wrote under the name “Reformer”. I found his pseudonym ironic because he is a John McCain supporter and we have seen more “reform” from McCain over the past decade than we can possibly afford.
His comment prompted me to write another column because despite its banality, it is an expression that the McCain enablers will try to cultivate into a full-blown mantra if not quelled in its infancy.
“Reformer” wrote “The Senate needs the level of wisdom McCain carries, regardless of age. Age is often the forerunner of wisdom.”
As the Old and New Testament indicate, I believe that wisdom is granted by - God. Age can certainly be a forerunner of experience but wisdom is certainly not a concomitant of age. As Clapton sang “it’s in the way that you use it”. If you HAVE wisdom, you can use the extra experience to your advantage; if not, you’re just an old fool.
McCain & Wisdom? As I wrote in my reply to “Reformer”, those two words are certainly not synonymous. I don't think McCain has ever exuded wisdom in his entire senatorial career. I can enumerate many examples starting with the Keating 5.
I remember being appalled by the delusions of John McCain before most Americans ever even heard of him. I was vexed by him calling himself a Republican back when I was in college, as I read about how he was working with the leftist of Democrats, trying to put price controls on cable television service! This is a prime example of how you KNOW beyond a doubt that you are either dealing with either an unabated nitwit -or- a socialist: Politicians who attempt to promulgate such nonsense appeal to the lesser angels of our nature by offering us what is guaranteed to be POPULAR, rather than ethical.
You see, I did not like paying $45 a month (at the time) for cable TV, so if I were -ignorant- I would like today’s indoctrinated blockheads - get on board with that concept without giving any consideration to the ramifications. He gave no consideration to the fact that the cable companies were at that time (and for years) BLEEDING RED INK and could have gone bankrupt without price increases. As they were to spend hundreds of billions upgrading their lines from copper to fiber optics and digital compression, McCain and his left-wing Democrat buddies were doing everything they could to stifle innovation through their senseless vote buying schemes.
Never mind that the snake oil he was trying to sell us on was the entitlement minded concept that cable television was a -right- something essential for human sustenance, therefore should be "price controlled".
So if we capitulate to the impetuous whims of politicians like McCain, where does it STOP? Next, the price of a steak dinner at Ruth's Chris should be regulated or a Starbucks coffee... Actually, I don't have to make up examples because we are now LIVING through the consequences of the McCain years. The people he spent a career appeasing and even encouraging are now in the majority.
There is nothing conservative about this man. Excuse me for being crass but politicians like McCain have for too many years been defecating in the drinking well of liberty. It is convenient for them - but it is very short sighted and as experience is teaching us, it has deadly ramifications, deadly to our economic system and perhaps to our Constitution.
This is not my normal tone. The outrage of Americans who want our country back is fermenting. It is time for you to go Mr. McCain.

Do You Really Want your Country Back? McCain v. Hayworth - a key Appraisal of Resolve by MrArbitrage
This race has national importance for a number of reasons, one of which is it will demonstrate that for a majority of Republicans, John McCain was near the bottom of candidate choices in the 2008 primary. Initially, he could only win through the wide dilution of conservative votes, spread over several candidates.
If –instead- of voting on which presidential candidate we actually wanted, we were voting on the one whom we found the LEAST palatable, McCain would have probably won that “inverse-election” by a land-slide. If it were a reality TV show, the Senator would have been quickly “booted off the island”.
Most conservatives have no enmity for Senator McCain as a person but as a Senator we have long found his actions appalling. To represent the people of this country one should expect to be held to the highest scrutiny. This election is indeed a test to determine whether we truly want to “take our country back” or if that expression is a mere platitude For Arizonans to leave Senator McCain in that seat would be to proclaim to the nation that they have not learned a thing from our past disasters. Republicans cannot continue to allow imposters to undermine our fundamental principles and alienate the conservative base of our party.
It seems clear that after the GOP negligence in squandering the majority we recently held, conservatives want –almost- a complete changing of the guard. From McCain-Feingold to his “Gang of 14” betrayal, the kind of compromise that John McCain represents makes him the embodiment of everything we did wrong over the past decade.
This would be an auspicious time for Senator McCain to bow out gracefully because the Jacobin’s are at the gate and their patience is wearing thin. We can throw him a nice going away party and he can spend the rest of his golden years with his family. At certain critical junctures of our nation there was need for the wisdom of an old sage on the floor (like during the Constitutional Convention of 1787); but John McCain needs to know that he is no Ben Franklin and it was his cooperation for adulation that paved the way for the debacle in which we find ourselves ensnared.
McCain v. Hayworth is a bellwether race. It will be useful in measuring the degree of resolve we truly have toward the goal of returning to our constitution and founding principles. We can all participate in this race through our financial contributions - but only Arizonans can answer the question of whether the prodigal has come home or if he is still out blowing his inheritance. Have we suffered enough pain?

Expect FNC to play clips of McCain’s and Graham’s impassioned pro-amnesty arguments every other minute when that debate heats up. ...shortly.
Still they warned America about the Maxist/Muslim’s communist, Muslim, radical America haters such as Wright, and Ayers and ACORN.
Who else did that?
I wonder if somebody in the Obama administration had made Fox and "offer they can't refuse"...
Aaaaaannnd, believe it or not; of all the people Greta could have had on HER show tonight, she’s having Grahamnesty! That frosts it for me. I will not waste my time watching THAT crap. And whenever Sean Hannity has that windbag Bob Beckel on, I find something ELSE to do. In another couple of years will FNC be indistinguishable from all the other networks? Bill O’Reilly is well on his way!
OMG!! Did you sneak in my house and just listen to me!! In one night on Fox: John McLame, Lindsey Gramnesty, and Newt Grinchwich. PLEAAAAASE! I have taken the remote out of my husbands hand. I want to GAG!
I swear, I have learned so much from listening to his show, that I never heard before.
No other broadcaster has matched what he has brought forth.
Glenn's not perfect, there are a couple of things I'd like to heard him say, but he does more than enough to earn my respect.
Don’t normally listen to Shep but he had Steele on yesterday who actually appears to “get it” on the healthcare issue and what the Republicans need to do but Shep wouldn’t let him talk and totally disagreed with the Republican position. Only two I listen to on FOX now - the rest of the time it is off. Cavuto seems to be hanging conservative.
“OMG!! Did you sneak in my house and just listen to me!! In one night on Fox: John McLame, Lindsey Gramnesty...”
It’s amazing! Limp wristed Lindsey followed McCain!!!
It reminds me so much of when FOX was pushing Giuliani down our throats, and not giving Duncan Hunter the time of day. Then, they pretty much did the same thing to Fred Thompson & started pushing Huckabee on us.
Except for Glenn Beck, occasionally, I hardly ever watch FOX anymore. I always get mad and have to change the channel.
For better or worse if JD Hayworth wins the Republicans will lose that Senate seat and it’s not like John McCain’s a borderline Democrat like Arlen Specter.
Most conservatives cannot stand Shep and Whore-aldo. The Factor has become like formula radio, with the same thing every Monday night, every Tuesday night, etc. Hannity spouts GOP talking points and repeats himself all the time. The great, great, great American Panel is the lamest 15 minutes on cable.
Greta has really improved since she stopped trying to be FNC’s answer to Nancy Grace. She did a great job covering HC. Sarah Palin got off to a bit of a rough start, but the last 3-4 times Sarah has been on, she's been dynamite.
Hey you guys if you don’t like FOX go watch CNN or Chrissie or Keith...good luck with that!!!
Find out who to e mail at FOX ans complain..I would like to complain about shep!!!
Is it just possible that Fox is playing the Stupak role for Republicans??????
‘John McLame, Lindsey Gramnesty, and Newt Grinchwich.’
They were all talking about getting rid of Obamacare and about no cooperation with the Dems in this congress, showing total GOP unity on the right side. Are you opposed to that?
You all remember when McCain was asked if he thought Obama was a socialist and his answer “no”.
FNC takes advantage of its viewers with the same faces all the time - a neocon from the Weekly Standard, a lib and Krathammer every night. Newt, Morris, Beckel, Juan Williams, Steven Moore on Greta, Gretchen Carlson and the ditsy blonde.
The only ones I enjoy seeing regularly are Megyn Kelly and Sarah.
Do you really? I have seen Fox News occasionally in doctors' offices and was unimpressed and even annoyed by its repetiveness. There must be a better use of one's time.
