John McCain Censured by Arizona Republicans in Landslide Vote

censured

McCain subject of unprecedented embarrassment

The Maricopa County Republican Committee, the state’s largest Republican group, censured Senator John McCain for “long and terrible record of drafting, co-sponsoring and voting for legislation best associated with liberal Democrats.”

This official censuring of McCain happened during the annual mandatory meeting of the Maricopa County Republican Committee. Nearly 1,500 precinct committeemen (PCs) were in attendance.  The vote to censure McCain passed overwhelmingly — 1,150 in support with only 351 opposed.

After McCain held several closed door town halls on amnesty last year, state Republicans expressed their outrage with his stance on rewarding illegal aliens with citizenship.

McCain betrayed the state by proclaiming his intent to "Complete the Dang Fence" when running in his 2010 primary, then turning around and pushing through last year's "Gang of 8" Senate amnesty bill that would gut border security and hand tens of millions of illegals instant legalization.

McCain also opposed attempts to defund ObamaCare, pushed to arm Al Queda-backed "rebels" in Syria, and shamed his state when he was photographed with a Syrian terrorist who had kidnapped and tortured 11 civilians.

For anyone that thinks McCain is embarrassed by this, I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale.

Would this be considered a first step towards impeachment or recall?

Sounds great. Is this likely to, in any way, hinder his efforts to further damage to the country?

I kept looking for the John Semmons semi-news tag, but evidently this is for real!

Good this happened, but I don’t think for a minute this bothers McPain in the least or his primary supporters in AZ.

Yup. That dried-up old dog turd does *not* care about criticism (unless it comes from his buddies "across the aisle").

“long and terrible record of drafting, co-sponsoring and voting for legislation best associated with liberal Democrats.”

Not an exaggeration. There was Campaign Finance Reform, aka McCain/Feingold, and he is the undisputed champion of Glowbull Warming legislation and that's the tip of the iceberg.

Too bad it couldn’t have been back in ‘10 when J.D. Haworth challenged him for the nomination.

What McCain thinks isn’t important, but what the AZ Republicans decided is extremely important.

You know, that really wouldn't surprise me. McCain only ran as a Republican because Arizona is a "red" state.

Agreed. Let's hope they have not kidded themselves into thinking McCain will change his liberal ways after being censured. They must follow up with an aggressive campaign to rid the state of that turd by supporting a solid conservative.
