PHOENIX (AP) - Arizona Sen. John McCain has agreed to a debate with former Tucson City Councilman Rodney Glassman and two minor-party challengers.

FUJM!

[dirtboy]

Uh, Rabs, McCain held two debates with Hayworth and has agreed to one debate here. So your added headline comment makes absolutely no sense.

But what else would we expect from Rabs, a Paultard who wants voters to pull the lever for an anti-border-fence Libertarian?

[G Larry]

He beat JD by 20 points, when are you going to quit whining?

[Will88]

Can’t bear to watch McCain on TV, but maybe some news agencies will chronicle his flip/flops and lies for the record. I guess he’ll still be tough on border enforcement until the general election.

[dirtboy]

Rabs is a third-party agitator. He wants folks to vote for the Libertarian candidate who calls the border fence a Berlin Wall and who is against the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. But since Rabs is a Paultard, he is A-OK with pimping an antiwar candidate.

As loathesome as McCain can get, he has been a stalwart in backing our war efforts - and that has to get Rabs mad, to the point of making misleading headline additions.

Old Elastic arm can reach out all the way across the stage to shake hands.

I would rather have a democrat than McCain. Just to get his rear out of DC.

Who really believes that McCain is going to really enforce border security? I don't.

Is he really going to cut any federal programs? nope.

Is he going to posture like a "Blue-Dog" democrat till it's safe to vote with the Republicans cause the democrats already have enough votes? Yep.

Is he going to cut taxes or is he going to "really buckle down and make the hard choice to pay off the debt by raising taxes instead of cutting spending"? You heard him in the past call tax cuts "irresponsible".

He'll mouth off about gay whatever and abortion this or that... but those are just sops in order to divide us and pit one group against another.

Look at what people do , not what they say. He's a d#ck. He needs to bang his smoking hot wife, drink some of her beer and STFU.

[marmar]

Don't you think mccain sounds just like JD at this moment in time. Isn't it ironic?

[bwc2221]

When has a comment by Rabs ever made sense?

He is obsessed with McCain and Palin for endorsing McCain. I doubt Palin’s endorsement was worth 20 points (although the “free money” informercial may have been).

Rabs, time for you to start working on your next losing effort - Ron Paul 2012.

[dirtboy]

Who really believes that McCain is going to really enforce border security? I don't.

Well, the Dem in this race is against SB-1070. And as I have already mentioned, the Libertarian has referred to the border fence as a Berlin Wall.

Meanwhile, turning this seat over to the Dems helps them preserve a majority in the Senate.

I strongly dislike McCain.

But not enough to help the Dems maintain control of the Senate.

Hayworth had NO BUSINESS running against McCain knowing that lurked in the background. He must have hid that or thought he could have kept it hidden. No one in their right mind would support his run knowing such a time bomb was waiting to be set off.

Shadegg is a clean-nosed conservative Congressman who would have been a good option, or they could have had a solid anti-shamnesty businessman run - it is an asset, not a liability, in this political cycle, to be a newcomer to the process, especially if you have created jobs.

But Hayworth jumped in and sucked the oxygen out of the anti-incumbent movement.

[bwc2221]

As bad as McCain is there are far worse Republicans - e.g. Mike Castle.

[dirtboy]

And with Castle, there is still a chance to vote in something better than his RINO arse in the primary. Let's hope Cristine is up to the task - I saw her at a Philly Tea Party rally, and she can talk the talk. Let's see if she can hold up to the pressure of a RINO attack, because you have to be strong to win both the primary and the general election.

I still can't believe Hayworth ran against McCain knowing that JD did that infomercial. IMO he defrauded anyone of a Tea Party inclination who donated to him. McCain would be sitting on the sidelines watching the general election if any other quality candidate had been able to step in the race. But JD sucked all of the oxygen out of that happening.

[erman]

WE don't and will not control the senate with McCain in place anyway. He's unreliable and controlled either through stupidity, blackmail, arrogance or corruption to aid the democrats screw this country.

I'd rather have a democrat in place, get this old punk out and start from scratch in 6 years. We will NEVER have a Republican majority.

If by Republican you mean, conservative. It's regional not party. Susan Collins, Scott Brown, McCain and any number of RINOs are of the belief that this country wants Congress and the Senate to "do something" as opposed to obey the rule of law, let us run our lives by maintaining our country's laws and borders and getting the heck out of the way and let private sector companies not federal/Ivy League/really smart Northeasterners decide what is the right way to run a business.

Do you really think that McCain is going to go along with any conservative Republican legislation, nope.

Is he going to help investigate ACORN or SEIU? nope, he's too busy with baseball, MMA, boxing doncha know?

Is he going to sh#tcan all the stupid legislation for fake Global Warming? nope, we still will have to use crappy light bulbs that are dim, expensive and hazardous.

Is McCain going to go after the Justice Department concerning the Black Panthers? puhleeze, that wouldn't be prudent.

Is McCain going to help shut down Guantanamo Bay and leave the interrogators out in the cold pending charges when the ACLU/Justice department gets along with the pogroms to purify the CIA and the military.? Well we know that answer, right?

Is he going to vote against a stimulus bill and rein in the federal bureaucracy? ......

So you tell me how much different this POS is to a democrat?

[dirtboy]

I'd rather have a democrat in place,

And how well has anti-GOP protest votes worked out for this country?

After I vote against him in the general.

[erman]

And how well has anti-GOP protest votes worked out for this country?

hmmm, how well has "pro-GOP" votes worked out for this country?

Solve the border problem? nope

tort reform-nope

cutting government programs-nope

simplifying the tax code-nope

preventing the use of judges to legislate from the bench-nope

Prevent the EPA, Army Corps of Engineers and Department of Interior from taking private property-nope.

Stop the militarization of municipal police departments-nope

Get rid of the second rate doctors and crappy care at VA hospitals by allowing veterans and dependents to opt into local insurance co-ops?-nope

Solidify our position with freedom seeking democracies and freedom fighters that we will stay the course and help destroy common enemies- maybe.

Yeah, the problem is that anyway you shake it, the dems controlled the congress and that's what ALWAYS screws the Republican president. If that doesn't work then the judiciary works it's delaying process till a democrat takes over and we're back to square one.

Take for instance "health care reform". Obama-care is NEVER going to be repealed. NEVER. The f'ing geniuses in DC are going to "modify" it so that it "works better". Yeah, that's what we're voting for. These douche bags don't even know about the FACT that QALY numbers enumerated in the bill ARE THE DEATH PANELS. bwhahahahahaha.. That regional directors and budgets are going to be allocated by political not medical decisions. That little fact is a done deal. That will never be rescinded.

They have control and that's that. Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security are cr#p and destined to fail but the "leaders" will never clean it up.

So if this whole turd circles the drain and we end up with a real deal, confiscate your money, fiscal bankruptcy by the federal as well as corporate pension systems, then we'll see who the Republicans are and who the real democrats are.

So screw McCain, his fat tub of lard and breasts he calls a daughter and his smoking hot wife. They can all jet off to wherever and live off of mama's beer distribution income. I'm sure all the illegals in Arizona like the Budweiser.

[G Larry]

Typical of the obsessed.

Wasting a vote in a tantrum protest.

Preferring somebody who will vote against conservative American interests at a higher rate than McCain.

I’m sure it’ll make you feel better.....
