John McCain gets serious about primary (McCain fights J.D. harder than he fought Obama)
Politico ^ | 2010-05-19 | Shira Toeplitz

Arizona Republicans say GOP Sen. John McCain’s recent staff shake-up is an acknowledgment of the seriousness of his Aug. 24 primary challenge — a contest in which he remains a clear — but nervous — front-runner.

While recent polls have shown McCain with a double-digit lead over former Rep. J.D. Hayworth, in an election year in which one Senate incumbent has already been taken down and several others are facing stiff primary opposition, the departure of two top campaign officials — campaign manager Shiree Verdone and deputy manager Mike Hellon — is being viewed as proof that McCain recognizes that he faces the most serious threat of his 30-year Senate career.

I am with you, another Sr. Citizen was defeated yesterday, time for him to hang it up.

Make no mistake about it, I respect his service career, what he HAS done but as it was with me (at 74) I knew when it was time to hang my gun and badge (law enforcement career.

OK, what is your excuse for all the prior elections? IMO, it take an idiot to know one.

“The irony of this silly charge is that McCain was much more wrapped in Abramoff $$...and is still getting donations from his firm he was lobbying for. McCain abused Indians and their $$$ like no one else.”

Not just that... McCain was Charles Keating’s errand boy in the 1980s, flying jets at Keating’s expense and enjoying a corrupt relationship ... in retrospect, he should have been fired over that long ago, julst like Murtha should have been fired over ABSCAM.

McCain only ‘survived’ by selling his soul to the liberal MSM, he had been more conversative prior, but drifted left to pick up the love and adoration of the DC set. The rest is RINO history.

Do you hear that sound, McCain?
That’s Snarlin Spectre calling you home.
You know what defeat feels like, don’t you?

If McCain survives, he will not get religion.
He will only be emboldened in his RINO ways, knowing he can get away with anything, and knowing that he won’t have to answer to the voters ever again.

McCain will be more dangerous next term than ever, if he is reelected.

” Now that America is about to have a radical socialist as a Supreme Court Justice interpreting the U.S. Constitution through a Marxist lens for the next 25 years, socialists around the world can thank Useful Idiots like you for you help in making that possible. “

Speaking of “ Useful Idiots “ How about McCain campaigning for Obama while he was supposed to be running against him? Hmmmm?

So, paying a lip-service courtsesy to a political openent is equivalent to trashing and trashing and trashing the candidate that was running against Obama right up to the Presidential election of 2008?

There was no excuse for that. No excuse at all.

You anti-McCain zealots put your hatred of John McCain far ahead of your love for America. Now, America is paying the price for your childish temper-tantrum.

America took a torpedo below the waterline with the election of Barack Obama that might put America into a death spiral for the rest of the 21st Century and you anti-McCain zealots helped drive that torpedo home.

America's enemies, from Vladimir Putin to the Islamist nut-jobs in Iran seeking nuclear-armed ICBM's aimed at America, can't thank you enough.

When History is written 200 years from now, America's post-mortem may read:

The United States of America
1776 - 2076
Cause of Death: Too Stupid to Survive

The biggest problem that Hayworth has is not Palin or FoxNews... it is JD. I agree that McCain is not always a wonderful person to have in the Senate, but if JD is the best candidate AZ is able to field against him now, perhaps it is wise to wait a cycle to replace him. I understand your governor may be available then.

John, withdraw. You do not need the money. You are old. Enjoy your wife and children, retire with grace and stop wanting to strangle Americans.

Your time is OVER. Forget about power. It is a feeble attribute when you come to die. Get right with God.

You made mistakes ... repent of them. NOW!

Father help us in our day, in Jesus name, amen.

Why did you turn Greta on?

I cannot stand that woman — I have no idea how she has been able to hold on to her job. She is hard to look at and listen to, cannot speak in coherent sentences and is a LIEberal to boot.

If Greta is on, I’m not looking or listening!

He and his girl Megan can go home. They have mansions. Why bother to annoy people?

Every time I hear Megan McCain I reach for a xanax, not even joking. Maybe the guvment can help me out with my "disease", I'm sure Mr. Amnesty would be in favor of that.
