Which of those candidates will be easier to frame than the guy who participated in this...
http://www.hotr.us/mccain/mccainagain.html
His opponent had a 97.6% favorable rating from the American Conservative Union.
Hell, we couldn’t even get full support here to take McCain out.
Our next big thrill comes in 2012, when the person who endorsed this man will run for president, with the full support of 90% of this forum’s participants.
The lights are out, whether you helped turn them out or not.
IMO, the primaries were left open (McCain controls the Ariz. GOP machinery) and McCain used his various advantages (money, incumbency, Palin/Brewer) to choke J.D. into political death.
mccain is too old to serve effectively. He is doing a great injustice to the people of Arizona and the voters, the liberal infiltrators voting in the rigged open primary, are just as guilty as mccain.
OK, thanks. I didn’t follow this as closely as maybe I should. I’m disappointed McLame got in again. AZ should have done better.
I don’t think I’m going to get too excited anymore about Arizona being inundated by aliens. Arizonans just voted for amnesty for illegals, by voting for McCain.
I don’t believe that at all. The J.D. supporters were voting against McPain, regardless of whom the opponent may have been. AZ is full of dedicated McPainiacs, fifth columnists within our ranks.
In order to win a statewide race, whether it's in AZ, or California, or Florida, or even Massachusetts, YOU NEED THE RINOS and in many cases "independents", too.
In this I'm channelling CommonTator, who's in heaven and can't speak for himself here (at least I don't think so).
Some people here talk like Trucons voting for Trucons can recapture the country, and it's just not so.
If JD really had a 97% ACA rating, I'm sure it hurt him in this process, and McCain's "antiparty" reputation and behavior, I bet, helped him a lot.
Trucons need a coalition strategy, or they have to settle for 30 seats in the Senate and 150 in the House.
I’m glad you are not giving up, but you have a formidable obstacle in the intelligence and good sense of the American people as a whole.
No, that would have been best answered by the voters of Arizona. But it seems to have been the last thing on their minds. Unless they favor practically open borders, amnesty for 20 million or more, chain immigration for tens of millions more, and a repeal of DA/DT, and cap and trade, closing Gitmo, and on and on, unless they favor those things, then they have no clue why the voted as they did.
Those are just some of the things the voted for, whether they know it or not.
Ya know..its really peculiar how old JD always seems to be his opponent of late...
You are absolutely correct.
In order for the republicans to gain committee leadership, they must have the majority. Voting for a democrat will not do that.
It really bothers me so see very intelligent people not look past the one vote each senator has. Tax bills start in committees. Committees are controlled by the majority. We are seeing the effect of the dem majority right now, they control committees.
That’s a given, and that’s why it doesn’t discourage me anymore. So, I fight on.
Republicans need closed primaries. With regard to Hayworth’s credentials, as a Conservative, it certainly hurt him with the Democrats.
As for the charge of RINO, it must be backed up with information. I tried to back up my RINO charges with a list of things John had done that would make it literally impossible for an actual Republican of just about ANY stripe to vote for him. And yet, some did. (not that they read my list anyway)
We don’t call guy’s like McCain on the carpet for what they have done. The RNC is a waste of our time. It allows anyone with an (R) after their name to claim that they are a solid Republican. Why?
It’s because the RP leadership has drifted so far off the mark, that they don’t even see McCain for what he is.
McCain ran as a solid Republican. The Republican leadership, Sarah Palin, Congressmen, and other public officials threw their full support behind him.
Thus, anyone coming up with information is a malcontent. McCain is the good guy, and his detractors are the only real problem.
It’s difficult to address this without using terms like conspiracy, collusion, fraud...
The Democrats own the Republican party lock stock and barrel.
So you get the ZOT, loser.
