I disagree. Amnesty is amnesty. It only causes more to illegally immigrate. The 1986 Act was a mistake made by a great conservative president, Ronald Reagan.
Mentioning it illustrates a point.
yup
Great! Thanks, onyx
The majority of Reps in AZ can’t stand McCain, the “Amnesty King.”
Hi altura!
I think most people see it as Sarah extending a kindness to the man she calls a CLOSE friend. The same man who named her his VP candidate.
She has stated repeatedly that she adores John McCain and I certainly don’t fault her for that. Apparently, they ^are^ close friends.
Sarah owes him her very political life.
Where would she be without McCain? Still an unknown governor in Alaska.
I think McCain got the only bump in the polls that he will see from Sarah endorsing him. It’s only downhill from here - with every opening of his pie hole.
That’s a severly chopped version of Sarah’s interview. Newsbuster’s tore them to shreds.
Couldn’t agree more...hang in. There’ll be many more battles ahead.
Excellent point. Brown was the Dems wake up call and J.D. knocking off the gang of 12 leader would be a wake up call to middle of the road’r republicans
“I believe he will collect a big pile of money on the net, Scott Brown level money once the news is all over the nation.”
I’m in!
FReepers,
Be prepared, when JD announces his run against McCain, the media will have an all out assault on JD. The media loves McCain because he screws his own party over just to receive their adoration...and they know it. McCain gets a woody whenever the NYT’s does a fluff piece on him...and they know it!
I’ll make a prediction: As soon as JD announces his intention to run and has a webpage to receive donations, he’ll probably match what Brown received. Conservatives are sick of RINO’s like McCain!
I’m so ready to donate to JD!
I was a Reagan supporter since 1964. And still am.
You make a good point, but there are probably two kinds of "self-described purists" on Free Republic.
The first type remains steadfast to conservative principles. I happen to be one of those. I don't really care what the "name" of the candidate happens to be -- all I want to know is do they consistently support conservative principles. If they do, they'll get my vote.
The second type of purist is a follower of the cult of personality. If they happen to like a candidate, they'll support that candidate through thick and thin, regardless of the inconsistencies (or occasional betrayal) of conservative principles. Perhaps you are this type of purist: loyal to a person, and not to principle.
I suppose conservatism is a big tent: it can support both types of purists. But here's where I draw the line: I will never impugn your cult-of-personality purity with sanctimonious put-downs.
That said, I would appreciate it if you wouldn't impugn my philosophical-based purity with the same.
Fair?
The district was redrawn in 2002 and there were some personal allegations about his connections to Abramoff and his wife working for his campaign.
Arizona's 5th congressional district contains much of the eastern and northeastern suburbs of Phoenix, including the cities of Scottsdale and Tempe. It also contains a small southeastern portion of the city of Phoenix itself. It is currently represented by Harry Mitchell, a Democrat and is a very well-known swing district. George W. Bush received 54% of the vote in this district in 2004. Native son John McCain narrowly won the district in 2008 with 51.70% of the vote while Barack Obama received 47.17%.
This district covers all of Tempe and Scottsdale and portions of Chandler, Mesa and the Ahwatukee section of Phoenix. Republicans outnumber Democrats by about 40,000 voters. However, the 5th is considered far less conservative than other suburban Phoenix districts.
I hope this means he’s running and if he is I hope it’sa bare knuckled no holds barred brawl! Take him down JD...destroy him!
She got a lot of votes for McIdiot in the Presidential race, for obvious reasons. This is a totally different dynamic. McRino has to go and a conservative has to replace him. So sad Sarah turned on the Tea Party.
