More Primary Portent.

With the notable exception of John McCain, the national Patriot movement has had significant results backing strong Constitutional Conservatives. Rinos continue to pay the price again, with that one notable exception.

To our Arizona friends. I hope you chose wisely. I can’t help thinking that people like Lindsey Graham and John McCain will revert to type. More than willing to sell out his principles, McCain is perfectly capable of secret deals with the DeMarxists, as is Graham. We have no choice but to watch them like hawks and force them to behave.

Hey! Anybody out there want to lay any bets on how long it’s going to take our boy John to revert to type? I say one week. But he has talked a hell of a tough game on the border and illegals, since he had his border epiphany.

Dick Morris is openly calling for both the House and the Senate to change hands in an historic repudiation of the leftward movement of our government. Yes, the people do have a voice in our system and they are making their voices heard in historic numbers.

The grim statistics that are coming out of the economy pretty much say it all. Record mortgage filings, the lowest real estate sales in fifteen years. We lost 500,000 jobs last month, companies are afraid to hire and investment is virtually frozen.

All political prognosticators are calling for a Republican sweep of the House. I think that’s great, and I say let’s take the damned Senate too.
While we’re doing that, let’s pray to God for the wisdom to do this right.

    Your post(s) on McCain show your utter ignorance of AZ politics.

    McCain’s primary victory was not so much an endorsement of John McCain, it was a repudiation of JD Hayworth. He was the worst possible opponent for McCain.

    JD was not an unknown here, he is at least as well known as McCain. He served in the House for 12 years before losing to Harry Mitchell in 06, and he lost because he’d worn out his welcome. He is, correctly, perceived as a buffoon and a whiner. JD Hayworth couldn’t get elected to a local school board in AZ let alone a statewide office.

    If the conservative wing of Republican leadership had bothered to put together a plan to unseat McCain and approached either John Shadegg – who retired from his House seat in CD03 – or Jeff Flake we might have had a shot at unseating him. They didn’t, we didn’t.

      JD Hayowrth still hasn’t given McCain a concession call.

      If AZ law didn’t have a Sore Loser law, JD probably would have pulled a “Joe Liberman”.

    The over/under on McCain reverting to type is about 10 weeks: one day after the November elections.
