McCain’s Betrayal Not Forgotten
Growing Movement to Dump McCain as GOP Candidate
by Jeff Davis
John McCain can babble about being a conservative all he wants. Most Americans simply aren’t buying, and that includes a lot of people in his home state of Arizona.
A Washington Post article describes an Arizona grass roots protest: “The protesters gather every morning before dawn, monitoring the entrance to a fenced compound called the Macehualli Work Center. They are trying to shut the place down. They wave placards and take photos of anyone driving in to pick up the day laborers who congregate there. They want nothing less than to save America from what they call ‘the invasion.’ The protesters… say that many immigrants carry disease, and kill cops, and rape children. …in the home state of Sen. John McCain, the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination… (McCain’s support for illegal aliens) has driven a wedge straight through the Arizona GOP.”
Only days after Super Tuesday, a patriot started a website called “DumpJohnMcCain.com“. There are bumper stickers and buttons available for any conservative who wants to display his disgust for this truly sickening candidate. There will probably be more “Dump McCain” signs at the Republican convention than signs saying “Elect McCain.”
The article also notes “The party is controlled at the district level by activists who detest McCain for his sponsorship, with Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.), of a comprehensive immigration bill that among other things would have provided illegal immigrants with a pathway to citizenship. They think McCain is a traitor to conservative causes and an advocate for amnesty for illegal immigrants.’We do not consider him a conservative at all,’ says Rob Haney, a Republican Party chairman in McCain’s home district. The candidate’s bus, the Straight Talk Express, should be renamed… ‘the Forked Tongue Express… He’ll lie about anything.’ Said John Acer, a lawyer who, like Haney, showed up last weekend at a meeting of the Republican state committee in Glendale: ‘He’s despicable. Dishonest. Duplicitous.’ And so it goes, on and on, all these Republicans who wince at the mention of McCain’s name, and who can think of few things worse than having the state’s senior Republican senator ascend to the White House.”
These are the people who know John McCain better than anyone –the men and women who helped him gain and keep his Senate seat, who have followed his political career from its earliest days and who have watched while he betrayed his country into the hands of a foreign invader. These are his fellow Arizonans who understand that John McCain is utterly unfit to be President of the United States.
There is a growing move among conservatives, led by Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh, who swear that if McCain is the Republican nominee, then in November they will become “suicide voters” and vote for the Democrat. The idea is that if we’re going to have liberal and socialist policies, we might as well let them be implemented by a Democrat and not by a quasi-Republican traitor.
