Primary John McCain

As a conservative and a “wacko-bird“, John McCain is a constant source of irritation and embarrassment. The only thing that can be considered Maverick about John McCain is his willingness to give Conservatives the finger whenever possible while still begging for votes from them every six years.

J.D. Hayworth weakly primaried John McCain in 2010, however his campaign quickly found itself mired in Birtherism. This made him un-electable even from this conservative’s point of view.

I wanted to vote for J.D. Hayworth in 2010. I really, really, really, wanted to. However, I refuse to pander to conspiracy nuts like truthers and birthers. I just refuse to. So when he started pandering to the Alex Jones crowd, I couldn’t stomach it.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I didn’t vote for McCain. I just skipped the primary, and in the general, I didn’t vote for McCain… or anyone else for Senator. I just left it empty out of protest. I won’t vote for a Dem, even if his name is John McCain and he has an (R) after his name.

Unfortunately, when it comes to elections, we are the State of Maricopa County. It doesn’t matter what those of us outside of Maricopa want, with 4.009 Million in Maricopa it’s hard to compete with it… especially when the county you live in only has about 131k people in it.

Today, it appears that McCain might have pissed on the wrong pair of overpriced Italian loafers. The Donald, who came to Arizona last week, is reportedly encouraging Jeff DeWit to run against McCain.

Yah, he has the papers, but is he an American or is he a foreigner? I put him in the foreigner category.

Trump has plenty of ammo for this amnesty loving enemy collaborator. Can you believe his little butt “buddie” Limpy Graham can’t get even 1% in the polls. McCain need to get a clue from that. But in the mean time we want him to release his “heroric” debriefing report after early release from his “special private quarters” at the Hanoi hilton where he was given special private treatment because he was a “Song Bird” ( the name given to him by his communists interrogators.) No, once again Trump hits the nail on the head. Press on the Donald.

Like him or not, Trump continues to gore every sacred ox and make people talk and pay attention...

That’s more than I can say for the rest of the field at this point...

And hey, Rick Perry... You should be attacking HILLARY and not Trump. You got a guy WILLING & ABLE to take on the progressives in both parties...

Lots of states are ruled by liberal metropolitan areas.
Not sure of a way around it.

Repealing the 17th Amendment might be a start.
Fewer far-left cretins would be chosen with state houses under, for-the-moment, Republican control.
But we would still get stuck with Lindseys, and Juans and Up-Chuck Chucky Schumers. Those skilled at gaming the system.

Term limits for federal elected officials, combined with the elimination of federal employee unions and pensions, are two things that would help. Government is not a career, it’s a temporary duty and service to your country. Make the government smaller with less to spend and it will go back to what is is supposed to be.
A tool established among free people to help secure and protect G-d given rights.

Make the corruption of the several states visible, with local control and local solutions.

If you skipped the primary, then you may as well have voted for McScumbag. It's an open primary and we needed to topple this prick, no matter who does it. I blame you and others like you. And it will happen next time around as well. So thanks for helping usher in Arizona's demise.

Tell me more about Dr. Ward. I despise McLame and I am willing to donate to anyone who has a chance against him but I am not from AZ. I heard her on Mark Levin and she seems right on the issues discussed, intelligent and well spoken. What is she known for in AZ? Can she stand up to the $millions in attack ads that McLame will run?
