Longtime Senator John McCain continues to lead Arizona’s Republican Primary by double digits but remains in the same narrow range of support he’s drawn since January............

Go JD Go!! Get the damn Reform Institute ads up and running!!
Is AZ an open primary? ..who the hell is voting for this guy?
Sounds like this guy Deakin is a McCain plant to siphon votes away from JD. The race won’t really begin until after July 4th.
Hey, Arizona; exactly what does Juan have to do to show that he’s not an adequate representative of the people?
Amnesty? Oppose the fence? In-state tuition? Support Obamacare? What does this man have to do?
And JD has so many targets to shoot fireworks at on McCain too. But he’s got to be fearless. The RINO backlash will be fierce.
“Sounds like this guy Deakin is a McCain plant to siphon votes away from JD. “
With McCain ALL things are possible! Deakin is a useful idiot.
McCain’s 2nd best friend...Deakin...is doing his job...lying about J.D. Hayworth and throwing the vote to McCain. What a country! THE best government $$ can buy.
Here is the kind of thing Deakin puts out on the web:
Deakin is a LIAR and not very bright.
Jim Deakin:
I scoured the Library of Congress and could find no significant differences in the voting record of John McCain and John Hayworth.
As a politician, it appears from the Library of Congress that Hayworth is politics as usual.
Hayworth served for 12 YEARS. I cannot list every vote (you are welcome to do your own research at http://thomas.loc.gov/ )
Amnesty laws and extensions passed during the Hayworth years in Congress. http://www.legion.org/documents/legion/pdf/illegalimmigration.pdf Page 14 and 15
1. Section 245(i) The Amnesty of 1994 – a temporary rolling amnesty for 578,000 illegal aliens.
2. Section 245(i) The Extension Amnesty of 1997 – an extension of the rolling amnesty created in 1994.
3. Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act (NASCARA) Amnesty of 1997 – An amnesty for close to one million illegal aliens from Central America.
4. Haitian Refugee Immigration Fairness Act Amnesty (HRIFA) of 1998 — An amnesty for 125,000 illegal aliens from Haiti.
5. Late Amnesty of 2000 – An amnesty for illegal aliens who claim they should have been amnestied under the 1986 IRCA amnesty, an estimated 400,000 illegal aliens.
6. Life Amnesty of 2000 – A reinstatement of the rolling Section 245(i) amnesty that legalized an estimated 900,000 illegal aliens.
I did not look to see if JD actually voted for any of these Laws. However, he did not stop them either.

***************NOTE what he says here: “

NO, Hayworth didn’t vote for them! If he knows Hayworth at all, he knows J.D. did everything possible to fight those bills, even writing a book about the issue!
I contacted Deakin about this post, but he ignored it.
Hey, the McCain die hards don’t even care that he rarely shows up to do his job...except to grandstand and screw something up.
McCain didn’t earn ‘the most missed votes in the senate’ label for nothing!
Given that McCain has spent the last ten years running for president, with more time in Iowa & N.H. than Arizona, I thought it would be interesting to see just how often ‘the maverick’ bothers to show up for Senate votes.
Well, guess what, as bad as Obama was, McCain was even worse.
[snip]Sen. John McCain (AZ) — the only current Republican presidential candidate who is a sitting U.S. senator — has missed more votes than any other senator since Congress convened in January, with the exception of Sen. Tim Johnson (D-SD), who spent months recuperating from a brain hemorrhage. According to washingtonpost.com’s U.S. Congress Votes Database, Obama has missed 74 out of 93 roll-call votes (79.6%) since the end of the August congressional recess.
McCain has missed 63 out of 93 roll-call votes (67.8%) since the end of the August congressional recess. But for the entire year, McCain has missed 79 more votes than Obama; since January, McCain has missed 212 out of 403 (52.6%) roll-call votes in the 110th Congress, while Obama has missed 133 out of 403 (33.0%) roll-call votes.

— June 29, 2008 — Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) became the most absent member of the Senate. According to the Washington Post’s votes database, McCain has “missed 367 votes (61.4%) during the current Congress.” In fact, CQ reports today that McCain hasn’t voted in the Senate since April 8.
On the other hand, J.D. Hayworth missed only 1% of his votes in congress. (see charts!)

We need to realize the ONLY answer to the John McCain’s of this country is term limits.
The reality is that while we do have an election it’s not even close to a level playing field when you go up against a senator that has been in office as long as McCain. They have so much power and influence they are nearly impossible to defeat.
Terms Limits must be enacted if the people are once again going to be in charge of our government.
McCain under 50% is a good sign (at least he's vulnerable). But I am being told that Deakin is bleeding Tea Party votes from Hayworth, which if true is disheartening.
I just wonder what it would take for Hayworth to pull this off. What is it about McCain that so enamors Arizonans, even Conservative Arizonans, in election after election after election??
If McCain wins, he will be six years away from his next election, meaning for at least the first three years, he can move left with impunity.
It would likely be McCain’s last hurrah, so he would become as unhinged as the elderly Barry Goldwater, maybe worse.
Hard to believe “ Amnesty McCain “ leading in the polls in Arizona right now . He’s a closet liberal and part of the good ol boys club in DEE CEE .You would think he would be losing big time . Watch your votes in Arizona .
The attack ads by McCain vastly outnumber anything I hear from JD. Soros is protecting his investment.
Sarah Palin supporters, per instructions.
Is it possible that Rasmussen is in the tank for McCain?
I live in AZ and I do not believe these numbers. And JD is the Tea Party candidate not that other guy. That shows a new and clear bias to me.
In a country that will continually elect the John McCain’s of the world, terms limits might slow down our demise but won’t change a thing in the end. The only hope is that enough people have seen the light. The republican primary in Arizona is more of a bellwether to me than the actual November elections. As long as conservatives and traditional Americans see the true evil of liberalism we have a chance. If they can still be fooled to elect McCain, I believe the country has learned nothing and things look much more bleak.
Amazing. Maybe it's the old geezers, retired, and afraid of anything different. It really is disturbing.
“If they can still be fooled to elect McCain, I believe the country has learned nothing and things look much more bleak.”
Things are indeed very bleak and I predict that McCain will be re-elected and promptly turn around and screw those that elected him by passing amnesty. This country has passed the tipping point, there are now more people that are on the receiving end of government money than on the paying end so don’t expect anything more from the Republicans than lip service on election year. If anything, as the economy gets worse the people will turn more and more to the government. Kind of like Iceland where when the government melted down the voters turned out to elect an even more left wing government.
It’s foolish to keep looking to the Republicans (or any other party for that matter) for solutions to the problems facing America. They haven’t done anything in the past and they won’t do anything but make it worse in the future. If you want hope for the future look to God, nobody else is going to solve this problem.
McCain is definitely vulnerable if he is below 50% approval.
