As Mr. Kane wrote, “The Arizona primary was tailor-made for conservatives to grab the reins of leadership from the limousine leftists and right the party’s course once again. Arizona’s primary afforded tea partiers a new opportunity to shock the nation with yet another Massachusetts-style miracle, only this time around it would be an incumbent RINO taking the fall.
It appears now the miracles have ended and reality has set in. The tea party “patriots” just served notice that they will be sitting this one out, taking a powder, grabbing their ball and getting in their clown-car and driving off without endorsing the conservative J.D. Hayworth in the upcoming primary.
All the protests and rallies, all the rhetoric about making a real difference, holding politicians accountable, and standing against the socialist tide amounted to nothing more than a hill of beans, 15-minutes of fame on radio and TV, and a lot of empty talk. Thanks Bozos for leaving the door open. McCain’s a shoe-in now. “Toot, toot, beep! Chugga, chugga!”
I am distraught … I am disheartened …"

I, Thurston Howell, know that J.D. Hayworth isn’t perfect but anyone who compares his history with the record of John McCain and cannot see that Hayworth is far more conservative – cannot be looking any further back than 1 year of McCain’s Senate career. Just look at what his wife and daughter have been doing lately to promote gay "marriage". I'm not talking "tolerating; I'm talking PROMOTING by participating in commercials in order to advance the gay agenda. (See Cindy McCain's pro-gay marriage ad below)
This whole family has consistently been impetuous throughout their history and the actions of his wife and daughter match perfectly with the inconsistent and sometimes bizarre actions of the Senator himself. Arizonans should stop deluding themselves; it's embarrassing
I am with Mr. Kane. We need to get this message viral. Perhaps authentic conservatives around the country can pick up the slack where those posers dropped the ball. We really need to do what Jim DeMint has been doing and “money bomb” Hayworth.
This situation with the AZ 'Tea Party"is about cowardice. Certain people feel they owe McCain for some misguided reason. McCain has been acting a bit more conservative as he sees what is happening nationwide but that doesn’t change the fact that most of his senatorial career has been marked by egregious compromise and self serving stunts to earn the plaudits of the media.
John McCain, the so-called maverick and Gang of Fourteen member is the defining example of what led to the implosion of the GOP.
There are enough conservatives in this country who understand the importance of removing key RINOs in order to truly purge this party. John McCain is toward the top of the list of senators who have undermined this party -repeatedly- in order to feed his ego and earn praise from the pseudo-intelligentsia.
Let’s not dupe ourselves into believing that he has ever been an advocate of conservative principles. We have for almost a year indulged in this charade because liberals were able to hijack the nomination in 2008 due to a schism among conservatives. This schism caused the conservative vote to be diluted among too many different candidates. McCain was more of a consequence than a nominee. In my opinion, the top Senatorial RINOs that need to be extricated (now that Specter’s gone) are Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, John McCain, Orrin Hatch and Lindsey Graham. (I’m sure there are others who should be on that list.)
It is well past time for this group to go and there is no reason why conservatives nationwide should not donate to primary candidates opposing these offenders (when they have primary challengers as McCain does). Yes, Senators are supposed to be the business of each state but unfortunately, as we have seen from the east and west coastal states, we all have an interest in some these elections because some of these states are poisoning the Federalist well for all of us.
It would be a terrible injustice to let this opportunity pass by. We need to circulate this link to Hayworth’s website. If everyone throughout the nation who -can- donate to JD’s campaign will do so – we can do the job that some impostors who are calling themselves “tea partiers” refuse to do.
