A few examples:
Maricopa County Republicans Condemn McCain for Straying from the GOP Reservation
Arizona Republican Party rejects John McCain
McCain's Republican Enemies in His Home State
Recall John McCain (an effort started on Free Republic)
I swore that I would never EVER vote for John McCain. It was one of the most difficult things I've ever done to cast a vote for him in this election. I overcame the anger caused by nearly 2 decades of John McCain's abuse of conservatives, grass-roots Republicans, and the Constitution itself to cast my vote against Obama. I'm absolutely certain that there are a great many people who were unable to overcome that and could not force themselves to cast a vote for John McCain. And THAT is why he lost.
As I said when it was certain that McCain was going to get the nomination, the Democrat candidate was elected at that moment. The GOP literally chose Obama (or Hillary if she had won the primary) when they nominated McCain. Idiots...
My first real run in with McCain was when he endorsed Clinton's marxist nominee for CIA Director, Anthony Lake. McCain went out of his way to push Lake through the approval process, wrote published op-eds in national publications, sent letters to every Senator endorsing Lake, and even went so far to be the Senator that introduced Lake to the Intelligence Committee. It just so happens that Anthony Lake is now Obama's top national security advisor. How's that for where McCain's loyalties really lie? The GOP really screwed this up and the United States of America is going to pay for it indefinitely. Way to go, GOP. They don't call you the stupid party for nothing. I wish I could get my nearly 2 decades of Republican Party activism and support back. What a complete waste of my time...
That’s the most educational post I’ve ever read. Thank you for enlightening me further.
