Thanks for taking the time to write this piece and post it at FR.

It is great to hear some good news.

You're welcome. I'm sure some news stories came out about the convention today and I plan to talk to the county chairman tomorrow to find out what else happened at the convention. I'll post what I can find.

I wasn't aware of this news until I read your article.

One more for the Good Guys! And we must always remember to educate RINO's whenever we can, on abortion, gun rights, overspending, etc.

Its been a while since I posted. Tired of the RINOs on the board. So just lurking mostly. Thanks for the ping. I am seriously considering joining the Constitution party. The RINOs are taking this party down the drains - as well as FR.

How soon we forget bump....

“In 2004, against McCain’s strong opposition, the state party delegates passed a resolution endorsing Proposition 200. In 2005, the Maricopa County Republican Party (the largest in the state) as well as some other county Republican parties, voted to censure McCain for his liberal, anti-Republican views and votes. Earlier this month a Straw Poll was run in the Maricopa County Republican Party and McCain topped the list of undesirable candidates”

“after a contentious and close race for the chairmanship, conservative Republican Randy Pullen won by a slim margin of 408 to 404. His opponent, Lisa James, was hand-picked by Sen. John McCain and represented the moderate, establishment Republican wing of the state party.”

Hopefully a very good omen. McBackstabber better take note.

A slap at McCain's Moderate politics might get him to wake the **** up.

Dream on. McCain is a cold forged liberal butt licker. Conservatism is just another obstacle in his mind.

Hats off to the AZ GOP.

IMO, keeping the trojan horse RINOs from controlling the state party is a huge step.

I’d like to see similar progress in California (where our party was most recently
caught in a scandal hiring illegal aliens to top posts.)
