TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — U.S. Sen. John McCain says the race for the Republican nomination for the seat he currently holds should be about fixing the economy, not about political ideology.

At a campaign rally in Tucson on Saturday, McCain enlisted one of the GOP's rising stars — Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown.

McCain is facing the toughest re-election campaign of his Senate career.

I'm just afraid that Scot Brown has designs on becoming just like John McPhlameout... a self-styled "Maverick!"

It ain't gonna be pretty!!! It never is!!!

How many McCains does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Just one, but he needs Teddy Kennedy to help him, so he’s kind of puzzled what to do.

"In fact, I think Soros had Juan take a dive like a cheap loser boxer"

I suspect that is true. But the fact remains he went thorough something many of us did not. Having said that he is no longer fit to remain in the Senate. He has not been so for years.

There are examples everywhere if one looks.

“...Still, it didn’t go unnoticed in the crowd that Brown endorsed US Senator John McCain, and will be campaigning with him over the next two days. Many were there to hear J.D. Hayworth, who is running against McCain from the right.”

I thought the last sentence was interesting...

(shouts from the back-) Senator Brown, would you defend Sen McCain’s claims of having voted against snakes in Guam?

1) Brown is not a rising star. He hasn’t done anything to earn that status.

2) Wold be nice if McCain had wanted to help the economy a year ago rather then voting for the bailout.

Well whatever his designs he’ll be running for re-election to a full term in 2012. A Presidential year. Brown’s going to have a difficult time winning with high liberal turnout while somehow trying to keep both sides satisfied. He won’t have the promise of being the 41st vote against this bill then.

So McCain knows tricks that will boost the economy that we conservatives simply don’t get. It’s not just ‘cut taxes and spending’, I guess. Gee, I thought that simplistic answer is always the best solution. Silly me.

McCain has flip-flopped on tax cuts.

VAN SUSTEREN: What would you do right now? In light of the fact that we do have this stimulus bill. It was passed last February. I mean, we do have that. If you were now making the decisions -- because we are bleeding jobs, even if it's better than expected for many people. What would you do right now? How would you change the course?

MCCAIN: You know one of the things I'd do? I would pass what Scott Brown tried to get passed through the Senate just this last week, and that is payroll tax cuts, payroll tax cuts for small businesses, paying for it out of unused stimulus money. I'd cut the corporate tax rate from at least 35 to 25. I would ratify free trade agreements. I would say that we're going to start over on health care so there's not that uncertainty out there. I would say that the tax cuts are going to be permanent so that business has a predictable environment for investment in the future. And I would say I'm not going to raise your taxes, just for openers.

Now he wants to fix it after helping to destroy it?
