I remember that well. I kept telling those who complained about Hayworth's "purity" that it didn't matter if he was doing funny things with farm animals behind the barn, we could always throw him out in the next election. The main thrust was to get McCain OUT.
Well, the idiots voted the turncoat back in, and I see no pressure to get him out now, even in the face of his anti-gun sellout. Another example of Arizona becoming Californicated.
By the bye, I have written (snail mail, for effect) to both McCain and Flake on gun control (also called their office in D.C.), with the second letter asking for something more than boilerplate. Flake has responded with pro-gun statements and went into some detail. McCain never bothered to answer this "bluddy peasant".
The only thing Flake is better than is Richard Carmona.
