Stay out of McCain's race in Arizona

[Alfred W Hovis Jr.]

Mr. Brown should stay out of McCain's reelection fight in Arizona.  McCain, though extremely honorable with a long service to America, is as much part of the problem in this country as the progressives on the other side of the isle.  We don't need any progressive Republicans in office any more than we need progressive Democrats.

 

Senator elect Brown would do well to avoid such ties.

I've got news for you...none of his opponents are "progressive".
If you want to know about them use google. They have web sites.

I didn't support McCain for President, but please...you think his opponent is an improvement? I judge a politician by the totality of his work and by that standard McCain has been a great American and a great Republican. He cast some votes you disagree with so you want to get rid of him for a radio announcer who couldn't hold a safe house seat? Hey, the reason the guy is going after McCain's seat is because he needs a job! It's fine to get behind getting rid of McCain, that's your right even though I completely disagree with the sentiment. But I've heard a lot of McCain bashing and I've yet to hear anyone make the case for his opponent other than the fact that he's "that guy who's running against McCain." It's this kind of circular firing squad that Ronald Reagan always opposed when he rebuilt the conservative movement AND built a Repbublican party that had members who didn't agree with him on every issue. If you dont like "progresssives" just see who gets that Senate seat if McCain is defeated (which won't happen).

Gene,

You refer to JD Hayworth in the derogatory fo holding a job as a radio announcer. I'm not an Arizonan (anymore) but isn't he a radio talk host? I'm sure that was unintentional on your part. Isn't being a radio talk show host a job? Does being a radio talk host disqualify him or was that his past sportscastor position that disqualifies him? If so why? Is there any other positions of employment you care to disqualify? Have you ever listened to him discuss the Constitution? I've heard him speak eloquintly on the matter, something I never heard Senator McCain do the nearly 20 years I resided in AZ.

I have always acknowledged Senator McCain's honorable and sacrificial military service. His story will bring anyone to tears who love this country. But this does not qualify him to be referred to as conservative or to be considered cognisant of Constitutional limits of power (McCain/Feingold), or apparently cognisant of Constitutionl responsibility, ie secure borders. While you may well be correct regarding his vulnerability, or lack thereof, that is not a commentary on his quality as a senator as much as it is a commentary on the lack of Constitutional knowledge of his constituency.

If Mr. Hayworth is for growing a backbone and fighting to secure the borders, using his position to daily call out this radical socialist President, and refuses to support bills that fly in the face of the U.S. Constitution, he will be one up on Fiengold, err Kennedy, err McCain among the informed. You might get lucky and there won't be enough "informed" in AZ to make a difference.

Oh, and regarding Reagan. He wouldn't have been confused as liberal, something Senator McCain is often considered, he would have exhibited leadership in the face of a liberal media onslaught, and he would have seen the pending government implosion and stood against ANYONE who played a role in the implosion, instead of working with them.

Hey Pop,
Can't take the bitter with the sweet.
You sound like a sour puss.
Can't leave before the game is over. But kids do that when they don't get their way.
Sounds like you haven't grown up too.

Well said Alfred! I would also add that Olympia Snowe, Lindsay "Gramnesty" Graham, Susan Collins, John McCain and a dishearteningly-large amount of their wobbly, supposedly "Republican" peers all pose a very real threat to any establishment of a unified front against the Progressive enemies of our country and our individual liberties. Any strenously stated "Independent" or "Maverick" stance on any particular issue is NOT, in my humble opinion, a laudable position. It speaks less to the practitioner's political/pragmatic or patriotic savvy and more to that individual's egotism and lust for prominence. Staunch support of all that is constitutional, established and venerable FAR outweighs any personal gains, whether they be material or in the form of public prominence.....

[Barry]

You nailed it. Our freedom wasn't won through compromise with the big government British Parliment backed King. It won't be regained through compromise with the big government Progressive (communist) backed Socialist Savior.

you're very strong so go easy

[mary hamill]

I'm with you Mr McCain is part of the problem he's too liberal I already sent a donation to JD 2010 hopefully he will win the primary.

[JA]

Be careful about JD - we experienced him once already in Arizona. I won't be voting for McCain but then I wouldn't support Brown again either. I'm going to wait and see who else throws their hat in the ring. McCain has to go, he needs to take his daughter with him but JD was a vote for the "Bridge to No Where" and he didn't live up to his conservative promises the first time around in Congress and I doubt he'll do any better this time around.

[Barry]

I'd have to know more about the bridge to nowhere vote. Sadly the system is so dishonest that bills are lumped together that have nothing to do with each other and before you know if you have voted for cable TV for martians and don't even know it. That of course is no excuse for not reading bills but even so tey are so bloated the its dfficult to see all the devils in the detail. No matter who is in there they should not be trusted. They could bring Ronald Reagan back to life and it wouldn't be wise to trust him with power. What made him great is he understood that.

Senator Brown

Please stay out of the primary; if McCain wins so be it; I do believe he is part of he problem, but if he wins the primary - so be it, as I said - then would be the time to support him, if he wins.

Newt screwed up in the New York primary last year, should have never gotten involved in the primary - his office has called me three times - I will not contribute to him EVER again.

I do agree that national figures should stay out of what in essense was intended to be a state race.
