Good. The sooner Arizona sheds all remnants from that stain, the better.

McCain stabbed the entire conservative movement and everything he claimed to stand for when he voted for Obama care when it actually mattered

McCainShitface. He was a two-faced *sshole who, like most weak minds, got where he was because of his father. His grave deserves being covered in excrement and his name relegated to those of other low-T failures who wouldn't qualify as ditch diggers save for money.

The present far-left Democrat party in Arizona traces its roots back to Karl Marx.

God rest his soul, McCain was perhaps the liberal-Dem media machine’s all-term favorite Republican ... for good reason:
He was always willing to play the part of the Washington Generals to the Dems’ Globetrotters.
He was always more willing to bash the likes of Rush Limbaugh than the left’s media machine.
He was always willing to sabotage conservatives on issues like gay marriage, immigration, etc.

Predictable AP hit piece on Kari Lake and the MAGA movement, or as it’s called in Arizona, ‘America First’. The Left is terrified of Kari, DeSantis, and all those who are refusing to roll over and wag their tail as we’ve done in the past. Their running dogs in the media are just proving Kari’s constant criticism of them that they are shills for the Left.

> “Arizona GOP returns to far-right roots”

AP as in A Effin P.

Honest journalism would characterize the reversion as returning to honorable roots away from McCain corruption.

But his maverick brand of Republicanism is in retreatā€¦

Youā€™re always a ā€œmaverickā€ when you buck the conservatives.

How does that work for Sinema and Manchinā€¦?

Now that the Democrats have their own John McCain, maybe enough McCainiacs will join the Democrats where they will also be unwanted, and make mischief there.

I wonder if Minnesota Democrats were to get rid of extreme left Omar and go back to it’s Hubert Humphrey roots. Wonder what the media would think of that?

McCain succeeded Goldwater and turned into Arlen Specter.>>> And proceeded to take bribes from a banker.

In one of his last defiant decisions, he gave a dramatic thumbs down vote to kill legislation that would have repealed former President Barack Obamaā€™s health care law.

It wasnā€™t defiance. It was outright lies and treachery. He did this after spending a campaign promising he would vote Obama Care out. It was fraud perpetrated on the voters.

If the AP wants to ā€œblameā€ someone for the re-emergence of the right in Arizona, they can start right there with their ā€œmaverickā€ā€¦

The delusional radical Left and its minions like JONATHAN J. COOPER and All Propaganda Fake News see Patriots and America's Free Constitutional Republic as "far right".

Don't forget, Obama officially radicalized the Left. Before Obama, The Left was very cautious about showing itself to be anti-American. Sleepy Joe's Administration looks a lot like what Obama's third term would have looked like given the chance.

See Obama? He's right over there behind the scenes pulling the levers for Sleepy Joe.
