Senator McCain Facing Censure at (AZ State) Republican Convention

[expatriot]

Here is an article on The Arizona Conservative website talking about how the state Republicans will debate this weekend on wehether to censure McCain or not... of course this will not be done... I think the establishment will twist some arms into not making the GOP look bad but it definitely illustrates how much they hate McCain over in freeperland.... we must remember that McCain is no friend of ours either... not just in his complicit support of Bush but also extremist anti-worker votes, anti-public education, etc. etc. etc. but since he is such a star of the media and has the "maverick image..." we need to pray to god that the conservatives take him out in the primary season. he will be a very nasty-ass threat if he makes it out of the primaries alive.

Here is the freeper thread on it.....

Senator McCain Facing Censure at Republican Convention
excerpt....

United States Senator John McCain will not be in attendance at Saturday’s Arizona Republican Assembly state convention. He would not want to be present, nor would his presence be all that welcomed by Republicans. Among the resolutions to be addressed during Saturday’s annual Arizona Republican Assembly (ARA) convention is an effort to censure Arizona’s senior U.S. senator over his betrayal of the GOP on juidicial filibusters and other important issues.

The ARA is a principled, constitutional organization which honors – without compromise – the Republican Party platform. In recent years, Senator McCain has shown little regard for the party or its principles while consorting with Democrats and grandstanding for another presidential run.

Last month, McCain led a group of seven moderate and liberal Republicans in making an agreement with seven Democrats which undermined Senate President Bill Frist’s desire to change the rule on cloture of filibusters. As a result, it may be more difficult to get some of President Bush's pro-life, conservative judicial nominees confirmed. McCain has been vilified ever since for his betrayal to the GOP. He has also betrayed party faithful throughout his amnesty legislation, constitutionally-challenged campaign finance reform and other controversial stands.

1. Goes to show that

when you think they can't get any more RightWinger!
They can :(
What is the Murrikan version of Seig Heil!
And you here thought McCain is/was a Centrist/Moderate?
As they say in the UK Parliament: SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!

2. McCain ought to show up with a marching band and just hijack

the damn convention.

If they don't like him anyway, he has nothing to lose.

I agree with you, expatriot, that his voting record proves how far right McCain really is. For these folks to consider him a "maveric" -- along with the media -- is kind of appalling.
