I would contribute to a 3rd party challenge. It’s the only trump card we have, and it’s a potent one.

I wish JD would run as a third party guy like Hoffman did in NY-23 last year. JD might catch grief from fellow republicans, but after the way they treated him, why should he care?

I’d rather have an open democrat win that seat than a closeted one.

I meant, we Independents nationwide vs Conservatives. There aren’t any Conservatives, only Liberals (light) who call themselves Conservatives. The only people that really represent conservatives are independent of either party. I would not be surprised if they found that Republicans have abandoned Jan Brewer. I would say what the Republicans I know represent; but, Ilana wouldn’t let me use that kind of language.

There are surely Independents, Robert, but in AZ, they cannot vote in the primaries. If they wished to vote for a party nominee, they would have to register for his/her party (and cease being “Independent.”) McCain trounced Hayworth by a very large margin, which to my thinking does not add up to the absence of independent voters who might have voted for Hayworth if given a chance. As you correctly state, AZ voters were “loyal” to McCain…I don’t know exactly why, but I suspect it has something to do with Jan Brewer’s endorsement, primarily.

“Not only did most conservatives fail support Hayworth, many went to bat for John McCain.” The people were loyal to long time in office- McCain, so there wasn’t a betrayal in that sense. I only wish they had betrayed McCain. Newt once made the statement that other countries voted out bad politicians; but, the US kept them forever. There is no such thing as a ‘Conservative’ there are Liberals and Independents. We independent voters are the ones not getting recognized, but as you stated before, there is no difference between tweetledem and tweetlerep. However, to my knowledge, Arizona is still appealing (to an Obama Supreme Court) over SB1070 and eleven other states are considering similar laws. The fight ain’t over yet. In regard to Global Warming, I’m waiting for Guam to go six feet under like my nephew’s partner said it would.

The danger of McCain’s re-election is still to come. Last election the MSM guided him to the Republican nomination, and then summarily trounced him.

It could happen again.

Given that global warming is coming whether it it truly is or not… I have some property just south of Birmingham, Alabama that I believe will make great beachfront property someday! Any takers!! Heh, heh, heh…

The Houston Chronicle carried a column on 08/28/2010 quoting Senator John Cornyn saying he will back off his support of Congress taking up birthright citizenship. The quote “It is a symptom rather than the cause of the problem in the first place.” Thanks John. You are just another typical Republicrat. I didn’t vote for you the last time you ran and I won’t be voting for you next time either. Great piece Ilana about theses politicians and how corrupt they are.

No surprises here. The people of Arizona are just as pathetic as the people of South Carolina. They deserve to have their state taken over by illegals now. I have no more sympathy for them. They could have made a very loud and clear statement at the ballot box, but they decided to vote for the status quo. For the people in Arizona, you had better brush up on your Spanish. I am so fed up with the stupidity of the American people. We don’t need Jihadists or any other people from outside our country to destroy us. We are doing it to ourselves. I’m not sure who is dumber Democrats or Republicans.

Sarah Palin is a political whore who is desperately hoping she will have a shot at the brass ring in two years.
