There were other more detailed articles on this I recall and other rebellions in Arizona against him, but this was the first I found when I ran the search.

On all matters McCain, my memory rarely fails me. I despise him passionately and every moment he suffers a humiliation like this just dessert, it's unforgettable. ;-)

I have to admit that it is interesting and seems to have more weight due to McLame's track record.
He is a very unstable, vindictive, and egotistical old man.
It's time to put this cantankerous old coot out to the dog track in his Members Only jacket, not elevate him to the highest office in the land.
Paybacks are a real bitch and John is going to find that out the hard way. RINOs are nearly as bad as libs.

FOAD McCain. At this point I'll be pulling for Rudy Guliani who is too liberal socially but at least is not a self seeking back stabber. McCain can take his "maverick" act and stick it. This act was put on for the media

And how about McCain Feingold?

What exactly is factually incorrect about this story?

The story is all spin. What is in it, what is left out, the characterizations and the insinuations all lead you to exactly where the author wants you to be. There has always been opposition to McCain within the Arizona party. I know, I was one of the first in 1982 and consistantly thereafter. It has been more of a factional dispute than internecine warfare. I was uncomfortable with McCain in '82 and have seen no reason to change my mind. He is, however, one of us. I am uncomfortable, not bitterly in opposition.

The people cited in this article are the true believers, the philosophical core of the Republicans. That is well and good in its place but it will lose Arizona to the Democrats. As you float from point to point in the article it is difficult to nail down the contextual distortions in absolute terms but if you want a factual error, try this: "encompassing Phoenix and Scottsdale (once home to Barry Goldwater)". The rest of the story is about as spot on as this snippet, in the vicinity but not quite there.

I'm surprised that any Freeper would put a spitsworth of credence in anything published by the Nation. If McCain wins the GOP nomination, he'll sweep most of the western US. The left fears McCain and the right needs to wake up.

John McCain hands over to the enemies of conservatism the clubs with which they beat us with.

For the Republican media darling declared recently by Chris Matthews to be the one candidate who "deserves the presidency," Chrissy's endorsement is a sure sign of imminent political death.

As far as the AZ party rejecting McStain, man, that was cold.

McStain will bow out of the race early, I think.

I can easily see McCain joining with Hillary in a "unity" ticket if he loses the Republican presidential nomination.

Hard to imagine a ticket with more people on the Left and Right could possibly hate more.

They'd be radioactive. We'll never get so lucky as for those two to team up.

Well, gosh, now why would a leftist, radical rag like the Nation be digging dirt on McCain??

It couldn't be of course that the slithering creatures at the Nation are intent on turning off conservative support for McCain - and, eventually, for every Republican candidate except perhaps Chuck Hagel??

Perish the thought...

If McCain were the demon the Nation attempts to picture him as, the Nation would be working its putrid ass off to ensure that he is the Republican candidate.

What really sends the Nation and all the left into a psychotic frenzy is that McCain is openly, strongly, and with a hell of a lot of courage, supporting our mission, our troops, and the President on Iraq.

The Nation appears to be telling the same story as the Arizona Republic, McKook's hometown newspaper.

Where is the error in that statement ?

McCain HAS no conservative support. His only support comes from RINO's and Liberal Independents which is why his polls are faling right now.

And perhasp you might read the entire thread to note a couple of different souces verifying what they are reporting, one from myself. It was reported in other venues a few months ago.

Well, that's wonderful to hear, Soul Seeker, MCain is putting everything on the line to support our troops, mission, and President on Iraq - and you say he has no conservative support.

Words such as those must put the left, and the very terrorists who are hell-bent on killing all of us, into an euphoria of ecstasy

You are wrong. Very wrong. And you can be damn sure that they are, too.
