And Soros.
And ACORN/SEIU!
I registered as a Democrat in AZ just so I could vote for the weaker candidate in the primaries. That’s gonna change as I want Mscain OUT.
It is my understanding that if you registered as an Independent, you couldn’t vote in the primaries, but I hear that has changed, so I might go Indy just to tweak the Pubbies.
On a separate note, one thing that impressed me with GOA - something that the NRA never did - and that was to send me a postcard urging me to vote for a local judge who had a good gun-rights record. Those are also the guys to support, but info is sometimes scarce.
” I hope NRA doesnt follow.”
They have a history of supporting incumbents if the incumbent has a decent record on guns. We’ll see how much vetting they’ve done. Norquist and the rest of the BOD have little actual impact on the ILA operations (lobbying arm of NRA).
McCain spoke at the 2008 NRA Convention. I’m afraid I went to the hotel bar instead. ;)
Yes, it was a good for MeCain decision. His credentials wouldn’t stand up, so he needed desperately to borrow the credentials of someone else.
It baffles me to see folks think he was doing Palin a favor in 2008. No. HELL NO! He was doing himself a favor folks.
I don’t call him MeCain for no good reason. Without Palin he gets something like 30% of the vote, wins possibly one state, and goes down in history as the cantankerous old two-face sell-out (of Conservatives and Conservatism) prune that he is.
John is the adult version of a high school student who has burnt all his bridges at an early age. He’s well known, but he’s a canker sore socially. Then he loses his drivers license, and is on foot. What to do?
John finds some kid that isn’t well known, that has a nice car and offers to befriend him. Of course the kid thinks this is a great offer. Here’s a guy well known by the student body. What a lucky break.
So John gets a free ride wherever he wants to go. He has an instant connection to a more decent group of people, and suddenly looks like a great guy.
After six months, John gets his license back, and the new friend is jettisoned. Not a call, no messages, John is history. He’s back in big with his old set of friends, other consummate losers.
Twelve months later John’s got big plans for something, and he needs the kid he jettisoned. And every describes this as the other kid owing John.
B.S. John MeCain is the ultimate loser user.

“It is my understanding that if you registered as an Independent, you couldnt vote in the primaries, but I hear that has changed, so I might go Indy just to tweak the Pubbies.”
There is an article on FR from yesterday that the AZ GOP may be closing the primary to independents. Check before you switch.
“It baffles me to see folks think he was doing Palin a favor in 2008. No. HELL NO! He was doing himself a favor folks.”
Preach it brother!!!
DOES SARAH PALIN KNOW ABOUT THIS?
Plus, can anyone here even imagine how bad McCain will be during his last 7 years as a Senator - all the issues that he’s soft on will result in reconcilement with the liberals, big time - no re-election to hold him back.
He’s got to go AZ!

Very good point, plus he’s just going to get more senile!
ACORN WILL NO DOUBT BE HIRING BIGTIME IN 2010. AFTER ALL OBAMA PROMISED JOBS, DIDN’T HE?
John has sold us out over and over and over again.
I have wanted to see this guy gone since the late 1990s, when I became aware of what a bastard he truly is.
John’s punitive measures directed at Bush after November 2000, made it clear that nothing was more important to him than himself.
John started a full bore talking head appearance Juggernaut that lasted for years, that undercut Bush and more importantly the Republican party.
This could have been a good thing if it has been done to move Bush to the right, but it was directed at disagreeing with Bush, and belittling him more than anything else.
John was the leftist media’s best friend in those days.
Folks, I was not a big Bush fan. I didn’t care for him. I would have liked to have seen him rule more to the right, but I did not constantly disagee with everything he did. If it was good, I praised him for it. MeCain on the other hand, didn’t like anything Bush did. He attacked most everything Bush did with one exception. He liked the immigration reform plans of Bush. Other than that he hurled so many second guesses, that some of them were bound to be right. On countless things, he was dead wrong.
He tried to take credit for the surge, but this was just one of hundreds of disagreements with Bush, that MeCain luckily got right. The others just faded off with nobody remembering them.
Nobody did more to defeat the Republicans between 2001 and 2009, than John MeCain. He even developed working relationships with George Soros, Terresa Heinz Kerry, and the Tides Foundation. Folks, can we be honest here? Jesus Christ didn’t extend his influence by teaming up with Satan.
That’s a lesson lost on John MeCain, because he has sided with the worst players we know and their minions. He has opposed everything we stand for at one time or another.
You don’t mingle with Soros, both Kerrys, Kennedy, Feingold, Lieberman, and others to support lefist ideology, unless you’re a fellow traveler.
This man has got to do. If we as Republicans can’t remove him, we’re the most ineffective party in the history of man. The Republican party has major problems, but even the R.P. pales in comparison to John MeCain. If it can’t get rid of him, it is dead to me.
Do you hear me Steele?
BTT!
I wonder which way the NRA will go
I get it sent to me...I’m a GOA member. ;)
“I wonder which way the NRA will go”
J.D. is working on it...check it out!
J.D. Hayworth, CPAC Superstar
Tweet Digg Reddit Facebook StumbleUpon Yahoo! Buzz By David Weigel 2/19/10 9:16 AM
J.D. Hayworth, the former congressman from Arizona who announced a primary bid against Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) this month, is all over CPAC. Last night he hit the NRAs pre-dinner reception, and spent every second pumping hands and making small talk. If people didnt know who he was when they met him, they came away buzzing.
Hes running against John McCain! said one student in a pinstriped suit, reuniting with a friend after meeting Hayworth. Thats awesome! As they moved on, Hayworth moved on to Wayne LaPierre, president of the NRA, who said Thank you to Hayworth and chatted in full view of partygoers. At the dinner, Hayworth moved through the tables, talking to reporters and fans, and practically jumped out of his seat when the emcee, Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), asked 2010 candidates to stand.

Call NRA and ask ‘em - I plan to before I renew -800-672-3888
Call GOA and congratulate them: 703-321-8585
OK, thanks - I did plan to surf the web on that to make sure.
