McCain is a conservative and is pretty much a lock in the general. This is a waste of money; use it to fight Liberals.

I know the knocks about McCain (immigration especially). He was wrong on it, big time and he actually FOUGHT for the wrong side. It was truly a shame that he was the best the party could do in 2008 but spending millions to take down a conservative seems like a waste to me. I won’t say he’s my favorite (i need only to think back on the “You have nothing to fear from Obama statement”) but I’m not into this crusade

McCain is no conservative. And if he’s nominated, the Dems will run only token opposition like always.

That’s a laugh. McCain is no conservative.

A guy who promotes amnesty, signed onto TARP, wrote a law against free speech, sought to protect terrorists from torture for the sake of appearances? A guy who has trashed conservatives for years and called Christians agents of intolerence petutantly because they didn’t support his bid for the presidency? The guy who was helping good judges be blocked from appointment by helping behind the scenes to craft the Gang of Fourteen deal? I want NOTHING to do with this man anymore then he wanyts a thing to do with conservatives.

Hell, he flirted with being Kerry’s running mate andchanging parties! Screw him and anyone who supports the fraud.

You need to pay a lot more attention.

I think dumping McCain is the ultimate message to the RNC et al that we’re tired of RINOs etc and are moving back to the right. As such your statement that McCain is a conservative honestly leaves me scratching my head. Regardless I think it’s absolutely a fight worth fighting if you have the wherewithal to do so.

Don’t forget, McCain introduced his own CAP AND TRADE bill years ago.

J.D. was attacked for his conservative principles in AZ. The state is broke and the liberals there are to blame. It is not a waste of time or effort. Compare AZ to any other state in the union and they fall remarkedley close to the bottom on all fronts regardless of what KSAZ tells you.

McCain is a conservative...

Would a true conservative:

1. Author and promote an amnesty bill, thereby diluting the value of American citizenship?

2. Author and promote a campaign finance bill designed to limit free speech?

3. Campaign on a cap & trade policy, so as to "fight Global Warming"?

While McCain has done some conservative things, he is by no stretch of the word a "conservative".

The most accurate descriptor is "opportunist".

Like you, I suspect he'll probably win. Incumbency can be too big a hurdle to surmount. But I damn sure hope he loses...and have put my money where my mouth is.

Oh, in case you're wondering. Yes, I voted for him in the general election -- because I judged he would probably be better for the country. But I wasn't certain of even that...

Do you live in Arizona? If not then it’s really not your business, is it.

"but I’m not into this crusade"

And were not that into you either so sit down and STFU.

The RINO, who lives to work with his "friends across the isle", is going down.

wiseprince, are you truly wise in thinking McCain of all people is a conservative? Is there another McCain you are referring to, because the McCain that ran for POTUS in 2008 was a weasely limp wristed RINO. I am stunned you consider this guy a conservative.
