O.K., I've tried all morning to get the pulse of last night's Arizona GOP Senate Debate, with little success. Found one article but "copyright complaints" prevented me from posting it here. I checked C-Span's website. Doesn't seem to be any re-runs today or tonight.
So, Freepers, from what you've seen, heard and read, who won last night's debate? From what I gathered, Deakin fumbled badly; especially in his closing remarks. Sounds like J.D. got some good shots at McCain's hypocrisy. But....
I dunno. Comments anyone?
Could only catch the last half of the debate and LOVED it when JD accused McCain of *revisionist history*. I think it was in reference to illegal immigration.
Every time McCain is up for re-election he’s on his *best, conservative behavior*. Then he reverts to his RINO self and we’re stuck with him for the next 6 years.
He really needs to ride off into the beautiful Arizona sunset along with his daughter.
Poster ‘Once-ler’ opined:” This is all true. Conservatives Freepers don’t care as long as JD hates mexicans.

Soooo...All Freepers are racist if they don’t like illegal immigrants?
Any more anti-Freeper statements you would like to make, or are you going to be a good little boy today?
One of McCain's very first attack ads on some pork Bill that JD voted for was found to be the very same Bill McCain himself voted for so that disappeared poste haste from the airways. The mccainiacs then had to scour Bills to finally come up with another pork Bill that JD voted for and McCain didn't.
Is this a zottable???? Please tell me if IBTZ! (finally)
Deakin is the only one I would dare buy a used car from.
It IS time for him to cut his umbilical cord to his power-cravings and retire to his Cottonwood ranch.
I’ll post it for you
Outlaw Woman = “ IBTZ “
” The fact that JD is even in the race with that kind of heavy money being thrown against him is stunning.”
McCain is THAT CORRUPT.
Hayworth outspent 12,500,000 to 600,000, and he could still upset The Traitor.
If he’s a leader, he’s a piss poor one. Who wants to follow where he’s led: Amnesty, McCain-Feingold, Amnesty, McCain-Kennedy, Amnesty, McCain-Lieberman, Amnesty, TARP, Amnesty, etc. Oh, yeah, and did I mention Amnesty?
FUJM!!
FUJM!!
Go, JD, GO!!
Aww thx...not quite the same though..but makes me proud nonetheless :) Thank you (((SJB)))
My pleasure, ma dear!
You are so off base on Hayworth vs. McCain that you can’t possibly have EVER paid attention to either on of them.
If you don’t know what you’re talking about, which you don’t on this subject, please don’t spread your disinformation here.
There were billions more ‘earmarks’ in McCain’s Tarp bailout than J.D. ever got in congress.
HE IS LYING, again!!! Stop letting this man use you!
How SOON we forget! But you better remember HIS WORDS!
*“America is still the land of opportunity,” Senator John McCain recently said. “And we’re not going to erect barriers and fences.” June 26, 2007 National Review
*SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, R-ARIZ.: I do not favor using troops because they are not trained for it. They don’t have the kind of qualifications necessary. I have strongly favored us using all the technical equipment that our military has including satellites, including aircraft and other technical means. May, 2001
*McCain continues to be well, McCain, throwing out liberal lines to catch the unsuspecting. Here he promises to push the failed Kyoto treaty.
“I am committed as President to pursue the efforts to reduce greenhouse gasses immediately. That includes joining Kyoto as long as we have India and China involved. It would not be fair to the planet to say the two largest growing economies who are greenhouse gas emitters are not part of it.” April, 2010
*On the ‘View’: Meghan McCain Blasts Tea Parties
Sen. John McCain’s daughter says the movement is filled with “innate racism.”
Does ANYONE think Meghan isn’t doing her father’s bidding???
*On the 2008 campaign trail: McCain had been asked how debate over the immigration bill was playing politically. “In the short term, it probably galvanizes our base,” he said. “In the long term, if you alienate the Hispanics, you’ll pay a heavy price.” Then he added, unable to help himself, “By the way, I think the fence is least effective. But I’ll build the goddamned fence if they want it.”
* May 29, 2003 interview: McCain: “Amnesty has to be an important part because there are people who have lived in this country for 20, 30 or 40 years, who have raised children here and pay taxes here and are not citizens.“
* Dec. 15, 2000 press release: McCain: ”I support the Latino and Immigrant Fairness Act (LIFA). Negotiations between the White House and the leadership, which endorsed more limited immigration reform, have resulted in a compromise.... this bill makes meaningful but insufficient progress on amnesty for those wrongly denied it.“
Q: Should we change our Constitution to allow men like Mel Martinez, born in Cuba and Schwarzenegger, born in Austria, to stand here some night as candidates for president?
McCAIN: He and I have many similar attributes, so I have to seriously consider it.

McCain: “ Those who live closest are the ones who can get here. Everyone in the world should have the opportunity through an orderly process to come to this country.”

McCain attacked Proposition 106, an Arizona statewide referendum that was being advanced by the so-called English-only movement. McCain told the teachers, “Why would we want to pass some kind of initiative that a significant portion of our population considers an assault on their heritage?”
McCain was one of 10 members of congress who were honored by the National Council of La Raza, a nationwide coalition of Hispanic organizations. In a speech at a ceremony in Washington, before an audience of 500, McCain again attacked English-only initiatives. “The building of our great nation is not the work of immigrants from one or two countries, McCain said, ”Our nation and the English language have done quite well with Chinese spoken in California, German in Pennsylvania, Italian in New York, Swedish in Minnesota, and Spanish throughout the Southwest. I fail to see the cause for alarm now.“

*McCain actually said this just a few weeks ago.
“President Reagan granted amnesty to two million people and that was wrong,”
*This may be the ONLY time John McCain told the truth.
John McCain 2008 Prez election: no amnesty for illegal aliens could lead to France-style riots
...The man wasn’t satisfied with McCain’s answer. He asked McCain why the U.S. couldn’t execute large-scale deportations, as he had heard they did in France and other countries. The question seemed to pique McCain.
“In case you hadn’t noticed, the thousands of people who have been relegated to ghettos have risen up and burned cars in France,” McCain said. “They’ve got huge problems in France. They have tremendous problems. The police can’t even go into certain areas in the suburbs of Paris. I don’t want that in the suburbs of America.
McCain, the “maverick,” has been in Congress for 28 years, or since winning his first election in 1982. He is no longer fighting the establishment; he is the establishment. He personifies the compromise wing of the Republican Party, which has since become the dominant wing.
He’s an EMBARRASSMENT!
“The thought of [John McCain] being president sends a cold chill down my spine”Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.), also a senior member of the Appropriations panel, told the Boston Globe recently. “He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me.” Washington Post
Capitol Hill staffers rate their bosses.
Worst Follower 2. John McCain (R-Ariz.)
Show Horse 2. John McCain (R-Ariz.)
Hottest Temper 2. John McCain (R-Ariz.) known to snap at staff when the cameras are off

And this....THIS bothers me the most. John McCain has no loyalty to Arizona or this nation. He is a globalist first.
McCain 3/2009:
“I could imagine, with a little envy, what it must have been like for the McCains who came before me to be so connected to one place; to be part of a community”

I hope you’re right and good summation.
Amen Jim! This “leader” line is all we’re hearing out of McCain during this campaign ad nauseam. I want to see JD go after McCain’s self-proclaimed “leadership” tonight in the Tucson debate. His only claim to “leadership” is when he’s leading the Left side on the aisle cause he sure as hecks ain’t leading on the Right.
Did I mention that poster was one of the biggest race baiters ever on FR? Like McCain, he’s a pretend republican.
The oldest troll on FR, no doubt ;-)
A great debater is he. At some point or another, McCain has either argued for or against or against and for every issue put to congress in the last thirty years. You can’t find an issue that he hasn’t crossed an aisle on at least once.
Not the oldest troll, but definitely one of the most dishonest.
I was only able to see a little of the debate, (I was working) but I thought JD looked pretty good. I thought McCain was blinking far too much, (it's a body language deceptive clue thingy) but someone told me that this would be due to his contact lenses. What...ever.
I hope that the debate gives JD a big boost.
