The New York Daily News: “Mac is back.”
But: “U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe attacked fellow Republican John McCain of Arizona on Tuesday as a closet liberal who "gets elected because of one thing -- earmarks," the Tulsa World reports.
“Ben Quayle, the son of the former vice president, overcame a pair of scandals to clinch the GOP nomination for Rep. John Shadegg's (R-Ariz.) seat,” The Hill writes.
The AP: “The son of former Vice President Dan Quayle won the Republican primary for an Arizona congressional seat after a provocative campaign that had no shortage of drama. Ben Quayle emerged from a crowded field Tuesday in the fight for an open seat in a Republican-leaning district in the Phoenix area. He drew on his family connections to raise more than $1.3 million -- and made plenty of headlines along the way.”
Democrats were excited that the Republican establishment’s pick to face off in AZ-8 with Gabrielle Giffords, state Sen. Jonathan Paton, lost. Instead Tea Party favorite Jesse Kelly, who Democrats called an "extremist" instead pulled out the victory. The Giffords campaign quickly turned out a TV ad hitting Kelly on what the Giffords camp says is him “describing his desire to eliminate, privatize or phase out Social Security in his own words.” They said the ad begins airing in the Tucson market today.

Listen my friends and make no mistake on these insights concerning the American Right… they are wrong.
They are not only wrong, they are confused cattle that know nothing other than chewing the cud.
Let’s take the young Levi Johnson for example:
I’m quite certain that he is serious about his chances of being elected to the mayoral office of Wasilla. He is so certain that he has filed the paperwork to run for said office. But here’s the big thing, the residents of Wasilla will likely elect this young man, someone that has no idea what politics is about, even in a small town like Wasilla. But the short sighted residents do not figure anything other than his name is attached to Sarah Palin and in spite of the fact that she turned her back on the state of Alaska, they still see her as the best thing since sliced bread.
I pity the Republican party and the TEA baggers that they drag around by the neck. TEA baggers that allow the heads of their states to “place their boot heels on their necks” deserve what they elect.
Another example is the soon to be determined election of the Democrat that will unseat the Republican TEA baggers. The hatred exhibited by the TEA baggers is overwhelming for even some of their own that has decided to break ranks from the dumbing down of America.
In short, Quayle said it best and I’m sure he speaks on the behalf of all TEA baggers, “My moral compass is so broken I can barely find the parking lot.” But if you expect for them to say it them self you’ll be waiting for a looooooooooooooong time
So...I recognize the words you type as English, but I'm afraid that I cannot parse any sensible meaning from the jumble of incoherent phrases and examples that do not illustrate your argument at all.
Might I suggest a remedial class in composition or rhetoric? You obviously have something important to say, but it's quite difficult to figure out what it might be.
Actually it sounds like you have issues with reading comprehension. But hey, I'll work on my writing when I have my next book published.
Scary. Wonder how long it will be before McCain starts trashing the GOP again?
Tea partiers what the heck were you thinking to support this guy???

How did McCain win ? Hes not even an American .... hes a Mexican Muslim born in Panama !
John McCain, in a recent interview conducted by a FOX News rep, very aggressively faulted the Obama admin for not placing 12,000 troops on the border by Aug. 1st. What the interview totally ignored was: Aug. 1st was only suppose to be the start with a 90 day implementation period; over the past several years McCain has failed to do anything himself in regard to the illegal immigration problem, including not even supporting enforcement of current laws and instead supported policy favoring those employing the illegals; his current position advocates steps that will be very costly with questionable results as they are just more for show than effect; and his present demonstrative concern is strictly correlated to this election year. Now that is exactly the type of politics that not only stink but actually offer nothing real or lasting but instead are costly and just depend on irresponsible deception to manipulate public opinion. McCain has repeatedly demonstrated that he is more a ‘chameleon’ than a ‘maverick’ and currently offers a perfect example of his putting political ambitions above all else, at any cost and without conscience. John is not alone in that behavior.
In November and in 2012 the Democrats should actually win by a landslide. Recognize that I said ‘should’, and not because they are more organized or aggressive, they are not, and not because they are perfect, they surely are not, and not because they have better overt and covert support, they do not, but rather because they are really the only entity focused on the interests of the majority, as the Republicans are literally totally focused on the interests of the very few, their strong supporters, and on their political ambitions above all else and on just conning the majority. If the majority can simply avoid being conned, then the Democrats ‘should’ win. If not, then we likely will return to more of the same that got us all of the problems.
