The real John McCain has been kidnapped and an impostor is running against J. D. Hayworth in the Arizona U.S. Senate primary.
It does sound far-fetched, but stranger things have happened in American politics. It's actually quite clever when you think about it.
John McCain realized quite early that he could not win re-election to the Senate if he campaigned on his actual record – that is, if he campaigned as who he is. So, he arranged to be kidnapped and secluded in a five-star resort in Fiji while a well-groomed look-alike, McCain 2.0, campaigns in his place.
McCain 2.0 is campaigning as a strong, unapologetic Reagan conservative.

The mainstream media are not blind; they realize this is not the real John McCain. But they are playing along with the charade. It's the least they can do to help their favorite "maverick" deal with his "lunatic right-wing base."
Yet a funny thing happened on the way to the scripted victory dance. Despite a fawning press and a huge money advantage, the most recent Rasmussen Poll shows former Rep. J. D. Hayworth is now only 5 points behind McCain 2.0. Conservative activists in Arizona are not following the script.
I confess, I have my doubts that the impostor McCain 2.0 can keep up the real McCain hidden for 14 more weeks.

But 2010 is no ordinary election year. The natives are restless, and conservatives in Arizona are asking hard questions and demanding McCain debate Hayworth face-to-face. Can the McCain impostor stay on message and win over skeptical conservatives in debates and town-hall meetings?

McCain, with all his money, is running scared. He knows he is a fraud. He is afraid the rest of us will discover it.
Oh, wait, that’s right.. only to a LIBERAL, like the MSM, would the TRUTH be considered a ..SLAM
Obama is the turd and McKennedy is the toilet that holds him/it.
**McCain 2.0 is campaigning as a strong, unapologetic Reagan conservative.**
Pity he couldn’t have done that during the ‘08 Campaign.
YO, Juan McLame .. Enjoy your RETIREMENT
Yup. McCain can now add fraudulent whoring to his growing list of political virtues.
I wish this old man would STHU and just retire. He was once something, now he isn’t.
Yeah! I love it!
Oh, ruh-roh.
“The real John McCain has been kidnapped and an impostor is running against J. D. Hayworth in the Arizona U.S. Senate primary.”
Oh no. He doesn’t mean that, does he? I thought that was figuartive.
when is the Arizona primary?
McCain said he voted for the Troubled Asset Relief Program because he was told the money would go toward helping the housing market, but instead it went to a Wall Street bailout.
And he lied, or was too dense to understand the meetings he, Obama and Paulson had on TARP....he’s admitting to voting on something he didn’t read...at best.
[snip] Over the last year, John McCain supported everything that the grass-roots Tea Party movement has stood against:
*The $700 billion all-purpose, earmark-stuffed TARP bailout;
*The $25 billion auto bailout;
*The $300 billion mortgage entitlement bailout; and *The first $85 billion AIG bailout.
When push came to shove, McCain and his economic advisers (including his hand-picked California GOP Senate candidate, Carly Fiorina) caved to the Chicken Little chaos in Washington every time and joined hands with Barack Obama.
Reasonable people may not assert that John McCain is an unsurpassed paragon of “fiscal responsibility.”

McCain: “ And that, my friends, is how I graduated at the bottom of my class at Annapolis”
It is a strange marriage indeed when tea-party leaders fall in line with Washington insiders to support a man who more than any other Republican embodies all the compromises and sellouts that have weakened the Republican Party since the end of the Reagan presidency. John McCain has not only been on the wrong side of nearly every important domestic policy battle over the past decade, he has often been the leader of those efforts. Bush's "compassionate conservatism" would have been DOA without "mavericks" like McCain.It's not just Sarah Palin. There are many other very good people who have decided to accept the biggest lie of the 21st Century: John McCain's promise to be good.
They are insane, all of them.
I'd sooner believe Obama when he tells me that I'm going to end up loving MengeleCare than I would believe McCain promising that from now on he's going to be a conservative.
Why are so many otherwise good people falling for the most stupendous lie of the millenium?
Sarah Palin, shame on you. And shame on all the rest of you, too.
