PHOENIX — Minuteman founder Chris Simcox announced his bid for U.S. Senate against John McCain Wednesday, blaming the senator for deaths caused from violence on the Mexican border and promising a national campaign to unseat the four-term incumbent.

“We have the ability to run a national campaign as well as a state campaign,” Simcox said outside the Arizona state Capitol. “There are millions of supporters around the country who have been waiting for some leadership in Washington to take on this border security issue.”

Simcox — who as president of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps has toured the country — blamed McCain Wednesday for being soft on immigration.

“He is fully responsible for the deaths along our borders, the raging violence in Mexico and the violence that we have in the streets of U.S. cities from border to border coast to coast,” Simcox said.

Simcox said his campaign has already received donations from across the country.

Great grassroots candidate! Every day guys are what we need! No more career RINO’s.

Note to Chris Simcox: There’s a certain governor up north that you could ask to endorse and campaign for you....

[Oldpuppymax]

I doubt Simcox will have much difficulty raising money. It’ll be interesting to see the sort of campaign Juan runs against a conservative. I wonder if he’ll endorse Simcox the way he did Hussein??!!

BUMP

[Paladin2]

It’s good to pin illegals’ crimes on McCain and Meagan.

[rabscuttle385]

If Palin endorsed and campaigned on behalf of Simcox, it might put to rest that idiotic and McCainian interview she gave to Univision last summer.

“If Palin endorsed and campaigned on behalf of Simcox, “

It would destroy the rest of her career. Better check our memories on Simcox, because McCain/the left certainly will. there HAS to be a better candidate.

[Sarah Barracuda]

I hope McCain is wearing dark pants cause if that happened he would soil himself.

[Sarah Barracuda]

I don’t think she is gonna get involved. I don’t think she wants any part of it.

[SolidWood]

Oh rab... a bit more subtlety, please.

We know that you are a Sanfordista and smell a chance to set up Palin.

You know very well that the chances that she will endorse the opponent of McCain are around zero. You want to frame this as the make or break point.

She certainly will not step forward vocally against the guy who brought her to the national scene.

Simcox has my sympathy and I pray that he will unseat McCain, but to make this about Palin is silly.

“He is fully responsible for the deaths along our borders”

Yes and the Carnage through out the rest of the country by MQueegs Wee ones or Gods Children..He is plenty responsible and should be made to PAY $$$$$$$$.

[albie]

. I wonder if he’ll endorse Simcox the way he did Hussein??!!”

...this would be a fight for Juan’s political life and relevance. He’d retire if he loses.

[devistate one four]

Yeah no more from the ivy league either. They all suck.

[alice_in_bubbaland]

He might run as an independent, like Lieberman.

Smith created a new web site last night.

Must...stay...off...Palin...threads...I...promised..

Oh, wait, this is a McStoopid thread.

No!...Must...not...leave...Palin...comments...

You have our empathy for your severe Palin-Derangement-Syndrome affliction. It most be a terrible suffering.

"Note to Chris Simcox: There’s a certain governor up north that you could ask to endorse and campaign for you...."

If your reference is to Palin, she would not endorse him. She is *for* "Comprehensive Immigration Reform".

He would do better looking to the Reaganites, and to Duncan Hunter specifically. And so would you.
