This isn't about ideological purity. McCain cannot be trusted and he represents what is wrong with our movement. We cannot count on him. He went bad in the early nineties.

He was a great senator at one time, but his desire to be a favorite on the press party circuit and a player in Washington has done him in. He outdoled Dole during that awful presidential campaign.

Those people here defending him I believe to be quite delusional, but I'm not going to get into a urinating match with our usual Freeper Rino’s. They never learn and won't.

Finally, somebody who gets it. Taking down McCain isn't about "purity." We're not talking about going after a good, solid conservative who maybe just did one or two things that wasn't quite copacetic. We're talking about taking down an alpha bull in the Senate RINO herd, an individual who has done his level best to confound and confute conservative efforts at advancing our principles every step of the way since at least 2000. There's a difference between tagging a guy who's 95% with you to replace him with another guy who's 95% with you, and tagging one who is 60% with you and replacing him with a 95%-er. People who don't get this very basic and simple point, well, there's probably nothing that can be done to help them.

Hayworth can win in AZ. People out in AZ hate McCain - they just vote for him because he never has significant primary opponents, and the Democrats are worse. I think it's time to give the good people of Arizona a Republican senatorial nominee that they can actually vote for, and not feel like they have to take a shower afterwards.
