No you’re wrong. Do not blame Arizona’s republicans.
McCain, just as Cochran in Mississippi, uses democrat voters to crossover and vote in the republican primary assuring him the party nomination. In the general, Arizona’s republicans have no choice but to vote McCain over the democrat, if they vote at all.
Yes, I’d like to agree with you.
I had a number of heated discussion with people here on the forum who informed me McCain was the better candidate because the other guy had made an idiotic commercial and one other mis-step. So this can’t all be laid off at the feat of the Democrats.
McCain also had one high profile endorser that flat out lied to the Tea Party telling them McCain was one with them. This person made a radio spot endorsing McCain that played in several markets for months in Arizona.
I offered to go to Arizona and walk door to door to help get information out for McCain’s primary opponent. I did this a number of times on the forum. Not one person from Arizona made a favorable comment.
I told them specifically that John McCain would spend the next six years working against us. I said that we would see him cross Conservatives countless times.
It just didn’t matter. You get the big RNC GOPe folks pushing the party line, and you might just as well be talking to the DNC hotline. After all, that’s were McCain seems to get his talking points time after time after time.
His views on the Tea Party are well known. Not one peep from the people who championed his most visible endorser. Hey, they were repaying a favor. To heck with the nation, favors are so much more important.
“McCain, just as Cochran in Mississippi, uses democrat voters to crossover and vote in the republican primary assuring him the party nomination. In the general, Arizona’s republicans have no choice but to vote McCain over the democrat, if they vote at all.”
Then the Arizona Repubican Party needs to fix the primary rules. There is simply no excuse (other than I suspect that the AZ Repubican Party is run by the GOPE) for their primary system to allow such behavior. As an Arizonian, I’d be mighty pi$$ed off to have my state’s GOP equated with that of Mississlopy.

That’s like saying “My daughter is about to get raped; she might as well lie back and try to enjoy it.”
Bull! The Arizona Republicans have a serious problem! They need to fix it!
THE POLITICIANS WORK FOR US!
