Tea party sets sights on John McCain: ‘We’re sick to death of him’
The Washington Times ^ | September 25, 2014 | Cheryl K. Chumley

Posted on 09/26/2014 9:12:55 PM PDT by Bettyprob

Sen. John McCain, 78, is starting to make moves that he’s interested in a sixth term — but tea party types are saying not so fast, that if he runs he can expect some stiff competition from the limited government crowd.

“I’m leaning toward it,” Mr. McCain said, when asked about his thoughts for a re-election, The Hill reported. That’s a notable switch from a month ago when he told The Wrap that he wasn’t sure about another Senate term — that he didn’t “want to be one of these old guys that should’ve shoved off.”

Nowadays, the Arizona senator says he’s “doing all the things necessary” for another political campaign, including raising money, attending meetings and “talking to a lot of people in the state,” The Hill reported.

Closed primaries plus voter ID would be the end of this fraud.

The whole earth is tired of this RINO. He can only carry his POW status so far, and I think that ran its course a long time ago. Time to retire and enjoy the rest of your life.

If Roberts and Lamar can’t get 50% it will be a struggle for McCain. The candidate will probably have an easier record to defend than Hayworth.

McCain may let a Jeff Flake continue his legacy like Kyl did.

“Montgomery has career aspirations that are rumored to include the state’s second senate seat, when McCain finally moves on. Obviously how he chooses to handle this widely scrutinized case could have devastating consequences for his ambitions.

At a recent press conference in which he exhibited raw insensitivity to the grieving pet owners, Montgomery gave more than a few clues (video) as to his bent. “This isn’t to cheapen or minimize the loss of the pets to the families,” Montgomery said. “But we’re not talking about the deaths of 23 children.” “

A lot of people don’t like Gosar but Gosar was the only one from AZ who joined Steve King’s gang on amnesty. Matt Salmon decided he would be Boehner’s fake hardliner.

With all due respect to Sen McCain...isn’t it about time he started getting a paycheck that isn’t covered by money stolen from taxpayers?

It will help them win in November.

Easier to beat McCain in a general than Pat Roberts or Cocrhan.

There is more evidence against McCain than against the Mormons. I could post two more sets of links to entirely different stories compiled by two other FReepers that are nearly as long.

It is time to focus on this November 4th’s election and worry about future elections after that.

They did last time after he changed his tune for the election. I suspect its a similar mindset to the GOP fan boys that hang out here: ‘Im voting for the lesser of 2 evils!”. In the end they still can’t quite figure out why the result is still evil...duh!

The LYING "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" are counting on JUST that kind of mentality.
It's time we Conservatives changed our strategy.

SO, THEY MUST BE REMOVED FIRST, or else we'll just keep getting Marxists/Fascists LIGHT.

The "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" will NOT get the message unless THAD COCKROACH LOSES!

It is VITAL that Thad is removed, or the RINOs will do it again, and they may do it again, anyway.

REMEMBER
MISSISSIPPI



I'll take out (vote AGAINST) an "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICAN" every time I get an opportunity to, and that INCLUDES the GENERAL ELECTION.

You got it?

"ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS"SHALL NOT PASS !



It's SIMPLE.

Made his career going on the Sunday talks shows bad mouthing conservatives and being called a “maverick” by his media buddies.He also forced the McCain-Finegold on us to keep the regular Americans from using their money to have their voices heard.Please don’t forget that he is the point man for “immigration reform” and walking across the aisle and compromising with his good friends the democrats to “get things done in Washington”.
But any doubts that he’s a great guy should be dispelled by the fact that in 2004 he was lobbying John Kerry to be his Vice Presidential nominee.This is one of your republican senate leaders and if you don’t turn out to vote and send in your money the democrats will have no one to oppose their agenda for 30 seconds before selling you out!

“There is more evidence against McCain than against the Mormons.”

Probably, for the most part, Mormons are decent people (Harry Reid is the notable exception). It’s just that “Elsie” is such a “Mormon Hater.” that any time you “wake him up,” he tries to crash the FR servers with his “annotated version” of all the books of the Mormon Church. As for Mc Lame, he should have gone to jail for his involvement with the “Savings and Loan Scandal” twenty years ago because he was in it up to his miserable neck! And don’t get me started on his fat daughter clone.
