Why would tea party people support McCain, maybe I’m naive but that makes no sense. I thought tea party people hate McCain because he is not a Conservative, why would they support him
Because tea party people run the gamut of beliefs. There are more diverse opinions in the tea party movement than there are in either the Democrat or Republican parties.
To some, McCain represents what is wrong with the Republican party but others see him in a different light. After all, many tea partiers hate the Republican party and McCain has a history of going against them. The point is,everyone looks at the same situation and at the same time seeing it differently.
I hope McCain is bested by Hayworth but I think it is a mistake to savagely attack McCain, Palin or others. In the final event, we have to pull together as a team because the liberals, Obama, etal are the real enemy.
The best thing Hayworth supporters could do is sing his praises, run a positive, issue based campaign. To win over the support of those backing McCain for the general would be easier if they didn’t slash and burn their guy in the primary.
