Sen John McCain has taken an active role in recruiting center-right candidates to run for office in 2010.
From the Politico
Fresh from a humbling loss in last year’s presidential election, Sen. John McCain is working behind-the-scenes to reshape the Republican Party in his own center-right image.

How’d that moderate thing work out for ya John boy?
“Fresh from a string of humiliating losses, McCain is actively working for more of the same in the hopes that the outcome will change.”
The fight has to be made in the primaries.
61% of Arizona Republicans Say McCain Out of Touch With Party Base
Hey McMoron...being too conservative was not your problem...it was being too damn liberal!
There is anger in the land John-boy and you don’t have a clue.
I’m guessing McQueeg won’t blame himself for our next big loss.
I hope no one ever votes for Mc Moderate
Wonder how Simcox can use this binge?
Moderates are lying bottom feeding manipulative scum. They’ll happily toss an election to the democrats and try to use fear to put seats in moderate hands the next time around.
Given McIdiot’s performance in the last election, it looks like that’s the game he’s playing. His success will be the republican’s loss.
ABSOLUTELY NO JUANNabies!
Nuts. He may as well be pushing a rope.
Is there ANY chance Juan will be defeated in the primaries by a viable candidate that can win in the general?
Nuts. He may as well be pushing a rope.
And the GOP continues in it’s destruction...
I call on all Republican consultants who have dirt on John McCain to come out now. This man needs to be embarrassed, exposed, banketed by scandal, and eliminated from any role in the Republican leadership. ANY dirt is fair game. Financial. Sexual. International. Military. Anything you've got, now is the time to bring it out. Enough is enough.
McCain is going to be PUSHED OUT of the GOP...the clock is ticking.
Keephing, Jose. You’ll wind up a RAT when it is all said and done.
How can one be “in the center” when the LIBs are constantly moving leftward. Ergo, one must also move leftward to remain “in the center”. At some point, you lose the right because they won’t move anymore.
I think it is time for Jose to fade quietly into the distance and forget politics. It isn’t your game.
The guy needs to retire. If he won’t do it on his own, then the voters of the great state of Arizona need to do it for him.

Real Headline:
McCain pushing GOP LEFT
When it comes to following the constitution, to me there’s only black and white, no shades of gray. In that respect, there isn’t much room for center of anything at the federal level, but it should be more relevant at the state level.
It isn’t ok to stomp on the constitution, regardless of who is doing it or why. When we say yes to doing it for some things, we end up having more undesirable things pushed on us later, with nothing preventing legislative arbitrage being shoved down our throats. Hence Harry Reid with his threats of slipping in the “public option” in reconciliation.
I prefer Thomas Jefferson’s argument regarding the constitutionality of establishing a federal banking system to anything John McMain might have to say about being moderate.
“...I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground: That “ all powers not delegated to the United States, by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States or to the people.” To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition.
The incorporation of a bank, and the powers assumed by this bill, have not, in my opinion, been delegated to the United States, by the Constitution.
I. They are not among the powers specially enumerated: for these are: 1st A power to lay taxes for the purpose of paying the debts of the United States; but no debt is paid by this bill, nor any tax laid. Were it a bill to raise money, its origination in the Senate would condemn it by the Constitution.
2. “To borrow money.” But this bill neither borrows money nor ensures the borrowing it. The proprietors of the bank will be just as free as any other money holders, to lend or not to lend their money to the public. The operation proposed in the bill first, to lend them two millions, and then to borrow them back again, cannot change the nature of the latter act, which will still be a payment, and not a loan, call it by what name you please.
3. To “regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the States, and with the Indian tribes.” To erect a bank, and to regulate commerce, are very different acts. He who erects a bank, creates a subject of commerce in its bills, so does he who makes a bushel of wheat, or digs a dollar out of the mines; yet neither of these persons regulates commerce thereby. To make a thing which may be bought and sold, is not to prescribe regulations for buying and selling. Besides, if this was an exercise of the power of regulating commerce, it would be void, as extending as much to the internal commerce of every State, as to its external. For the power given to Congress by the Constitution does not extend to the internal regulation of the commerce of a State, (that is to say of the commerce between citizen and citizen,) which remain exclusively with its own legislature; but to its external commerce only, that is to say, its commerce with another State, or with foreign nations, or with the Indian tribes. Accordingly the bill does not propose the measure as a regulation of trace, but as `’ productive of considerable advantages to trade.” Still less are these powers covered by any other of the special enumerations.
II. Nor are they within either of the general phrases, which are the two following:
1. To lay taxes to provide for the general welfare of the United States, that is to say, “to lay taxes for the purpose of providing for the general welfare.” For the laying of taxes is the power, and the general welfare the purpose for which the power is to be exercised. They are not to lay taxes ad libitum for any purpose they please; but only to pay the debts or provide for the welfare of the Union. In like manner, they are not to do anything they please to provide for the general welfare, but only to lay taxes for that purpose. To consider the latter phrase, not as describing the purpose of the first, but as giving a distinct and independent power to do any act they please, which might be for the good of the Union, would render all the preceding and subsequent enumerations of power completely useless.
It would reduce the whole instrument to a single phrase, that of instituting a Congress with power to do whatever would be for the good of the United States; and, as they would be the sole judges of the good or evil, it would be also a power to do whatever evil they please. “
I don’t think Conservatives should play by Alinsky’s immoral rules like the Left. Just vote conservative in the primaries and remember Reagan’s 11th commandment not to speak ill of other Republicans. The Left takes advantage when Republicans/Conservatives attack each other.
Speaking of which, is anything being done to change these “open” primaries so that only Republicans can vote in Republican primaries? That is part of what gave us McLame last time.
Tinky Winky Graham is a problem but if he is surrounded by a majority of conservatives he will do whatever they do.
He seems to have no center. So it’s just who gets to manipulate him first.
The next Specter?
The GOP calls me for money. I say NO because I don’t like how ‘moderate’, i.e. wimpy, the party has become and am giving my money to the Tea Party and similar groups.
But John ‘hold my nose’ McCain somehow interprets that attitude as Americans wanting more moderation.
From said loss, McCain has apparently learned not a single thing.
Sorry, but folks who push for cap and tax and illegal alien amnesty, and say Barack Obama is a patriot whom we should not dear, can not in any way be described as a "Republican".
It is time to put John McCain out of the business of politics.
The only pushing that should be done is to push McCain out of office - and all his RINO friends, too.
So criticize his policy choices. You don’t have to go out of your way to “dig up dirt” and besmirch his character. That’s what the left does.
Go away John, go away.

Good luck with that you worthless POS.
Hasn’t McCain already done enough to wreck the party and is in large part responsible for having Obama in the White House? Please John just STFU and quit trying to compromise with Obama’s socialists. PS Please tell your daughter to STFU too as she is just being used by the leftists.
What character? He has no character. He is a craven egoist, driven by narcissism. Everything America is now finding out about Obama's radical ties and Czars would have been known a year ago, if McCain had not made a determined effort to shield Barack Obama by refusing to even discuss Jeremiah Wright.
McCain, from hero to hack in less then a lifetime!
Specter left on his own...I am hoping the Arizona voters RETIRE McShame.
On a related note, he called Romney and offered to have his name included on a fund raising invitation. Romney had already printed the invitations but HAPPILY had them reprinted with McCain’s name. THAT should tell you volumes about who NOT to nominate for 2012!
This is not news or a new revelation in any way, shape or form. I checked to make sure it was not 2 years old. It must be difficult to fill the pages of media rags when you simply cannot bash the current administration.
