We've been preparing for weeks to announce the "Big News"... IT'S HERE!!! Chris Simcox, founder of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps has just announced his resignation from the presidency of MCDC in order to launch a full-scale campaign for U.S. Senate against John McCain!
(Excerpt) Read more at email.wnd.com ...
Prepare to witness the shock and awe of establishment-supported incumbency.
Great news! It’s these “grassroots” guys that can/will win elections against career Rino/bureaucrat/lying/treasonous/power hungry/seditious/politicians like El Juano McCainez.
I’d vote for Hugo Chavez before McCain. Chavez is an honest, out and out right big government Socialist. (I think the crazy factor is a tie)
Quote of the day.
Any one but Juan McLame.
Time to go home Juan. ya RINO rat.
We need to get McLame OUT IN THE PRIMARY!!!!!!
NOt wait for him to get defeated by a democrap in the main event.
PRIMARIES ARE KEY THIS YEAR!!! YOUR VOTE HAS 1000 TIMES MORE POWER IN A PRIMARY BECAUSE SO FEW PEOPLE VOTE IN PRIMAIRES
You can bet Ted Kennedy and Russ Feingold will be stumping for McCain soon!
Wait until the drive bys show up.
It was front-page news in Lake Havasu! Yay!!!!
I just sent out that email to all in my address book.
Many arent as aware of McCain as we here on FR.
I already got a reply from a friend in the midwest who
asked what was the problem with McCain. I can’t believe
some people only pay attention to elections in the
later months of an election cycle.
Never too early to get started passing out information on
candidates we think will help the conservative cause.
Thanks... TPD

The question is if Simcox wins then how will he deal the the many other socialist leaders in the Republican party?
McCain challenge ping
After Tedisco’s wholly avoidable defeat in the N.Y. 20th Congressional District race, see here for full account of the debacle:

where he ran a McCain-like campaign, there’s all the more compelling reason to ELIMINATE MCCAIN IN THE PRIMARY.
I’ll support Simcox with a few bucks but think JD Hayworth would be the way to go.
I think we are misusing the term RINO. John McCain is not a Rino; he is a Republican. Just like Spectre, he represents everything that is wrong with the Republican Party. We Conservatives should have learned by now that the GOP represents the views of the go along to get along wienies who never fail to let us down when the issues are most important. To me Jim DeMint is a RINO because he sticks to his Conservative principles.
“I can’t believe

And that, my friend(pun intended) is part of the problem.
This is very interesting because Mike Savage predicted that John McCain would be ousted as Senator from Arizona. At the time I did not agree with Savage at all. I thought that no way could McCain be defeated; he was Senator for life.
However, after seeing the global warming testimony of John Warner and Al Gore when , IMO, I saw a stupid, broken old man, and someone absolutely insane, I also saw John McCain standing with them in a figurative way. Simcox will win as Savage predicted.
Agreed. The MSMwhores will take him down. The same “news” outlets that had no interest whatsoever in Bill Ayers or Rev J-Wright will run front page stories about Chris Simcox cheating on a test in third grade.
True. The meaning of the term RINO has been inverted, since liberals now own and operate the GOP at will.
I think you hit on something there. The actual RINOs are conservatives like you and me. I stay in the Republican Party in order to vote in the primary here in Pa. Other than that I really can’t identify with our local or state party. I think it’s time to bury the RINO reference and call them what they really are: REPUBLICANS!
I have made similar points. How can you call GWB and McCain RINOs if they ARE the republican party heads? Plus McCain and Spector and GWB have different positions on some issues, but they all are big government/big business.
Did Hayworth lose his last race for re-election? I like him and noticed when he was no longer in congress but don’t remember if he lost or didn’t run.
I’ll happily send some cash to help defeat McCain.
Somehow we need to convince Steele and Cornyn we are right. They need to tell Spectre and Juan the time has come to retire. The RNC and Cornyn’s committee need to go on a full court press against those two in the primary.
EXCELLENT
He lost but the open border crowd had him targeted. I suspect there are a few open borders FReepers who voted against him but don’t have the stones to admit it.
“How can you call GWB and McCain RINOs if they ARE the republican party heads”
At one time, the Republican party, for a brief shining moment, was the party for the correct principles: ‘Life, Small Government, lower taxes and was the polar opposite of the Democrat party. ‘Reagan Republicans’
“I think we are misusing the term RINO. John McCain is not a Rino; he is a Republican. Just like Spectre, he represents everything that is wrong with the Republican Party. We Conservatives should have learned by now that the GOP represents the views of the go along to get along wienies who never fail to let us down when the issues are most important.

Perfect analysis. Big spending, more government IS who the Republicans are (with a few conservative exceptions).
I wish Frank Antenori had more experience , he is a first time state rep. but then I am not an Arizonan. He is a former SPecial forces Iraq freedom vet. He has a good book called Roughneck 9. far more conservative than old simcox
I didnt pay much attention to the NY race, but from what I heard the republican had always been a politican rino wonk, where as the democrat had been a successful business man. of course dems seem to turn on the very ideas that made them successful.
When did the term originate? I'm not certain, but I think to most these days the Republican party was defined during the Reagan era, and RINOs are those who have since departed from Reagan Republicanism, or maybe never really embraced it.
I don't anyone will have much success redefining the term at this point.
McCain being an ardent supporter of the evil, anti-American, anti-capitalist, anti-human AGW superstition, is all the more reason for supporting Simcox.
I agree. Not too optimistic about Simcox who will be (and maybe is) painted as a one-issue candidate. One-issue candidates don't usually fare too well. Also hoping J. D. Hayworth will join the race.
Why would they work even that hard? They’ll just ignore him.
I don’t know when it originated but it was always the accepted definition of a liberal disguised as a republican based on the presumption that republican equated to conservative. That presumption is no longer valid, therefore RINO is a meaningless term, unless you invert the definition.
I think you're clearly inverting the assumption that gave rise to the term RINO, or declaring the assumption no longer valid (a very debatable point).
But since only three Republicans in the Senate abandoned the party and voted for Obama's stimulus, and everyone calls those three RINOs, maybe the term still is valid.
Our real problem has been two disguised RINO presidents named Bush, who used the power of the presidency to steer the party away from conservatism far too often. They both rode in on Reagan's legacy, but failed to continue it in all too many areas.
Right on both and both men would be a MAJOR improvement over mccain.
The Media Darling will reappear.
Don’t get too excited, yet. I have heard that news will come out shortly that reports Mr. Simcox as a felon who still hasn’t answered questions about $440,000 from the Minutemen. I’ll wait and see for a bit.
He's going to bet my support (financial and otherwise) ... and I'm not even in his state.
Incumbency is difficult to defeat.
Many yahoo-ed when Lindsey Graham had a challenge. Graham is still senator.
The same with Spectre.
Getting these old geezers (male or female) out of the august body is next to impossible. Many voters perceive that it is ‘the other senators’ who are the problem, not theirs.
Sen. Lincoln (D-AR) has approval rating that is around or just under the 50% mark. She is seen as ‘vunerable’ in 2010. Trouble is, 3 state Republicans have already announced potential challenges. By the time of the general election, the Pubbies will have managed to shoot themselves in the foot.
I doubt Lincoln will be defeated. I doubt McCain will be defeated. I doubt Spectre will be defeated.
And the same typically holds true of the House. Remember how embattled Murtha was in 2008? Yet, he got re-elected.
It is next to impossible to get rid of an old incumbent politician.
Good news.
I’ve heard that Simcox is disliked by many Arizonians including Minutemen. However, I’ve read that Jim Deakin is a good man & a good conservative. If I were still living in Az. I’d be taking a good look at Deakin.
There are so many McCains in the party, so many who take a perverse pride in their inability to communicate.
I could agree with that.
"(I think the crazy factor is a tie)"
Here's where we disagree.
McQueeg wins the nutz category, hands-down.
