Conservatives Finally Stand Up To John McCain

The Arizona Conservative is reporting that the ARA (The Arizona Republican Assembly) has voted unanimously for the censure of the so-called Maverick senior Senator from Arizona, John McCain.

In a bold move they will be sending the measure to the Arizona GOP hoping to obtain party approval of the censure. I say don’t hold your breath on that last part. The GOP has adopted over the last couple years the “Big Tent” philosophy believing that somehow allowing unprincipled conservatives such as John McCain into the party somehow helps the party.

This is the same strategy however that we know see is killing the DNC from within as Howard Dean and members of the Progressive Caucus run around in full attack mode spouting Marxist rhetoric while traditional Democrats like Zell Miller are left to defend what is good and right.

The censure measure of John McCain reads as follows:

WHEREAS, Senator John McCain is presently co-sponsoring, together with his Democrat soul-mate, Senator Teddy Kennedy, a Bill to Reform the Immigration Policy of the United States promoting amnesty for illegal aliens and for their U.S. employers, thus ignoring the opinions of his constituents expressed in numerous polls and personal pleas; and

WHEREAS, Senator McCain deserted the ranks of the Republican Party and the Leadership of the U.S. Senate on the issue of limiting the filibuster of judicial nominations, some of which have been on-hold for several years, thus stalling the President?s agenda for judicial reform; and

WHEREAS, Senator McCain led the Democrat Party in ?reforming? campaign finance, providing for a clear usurpation of 1st Amendment free speech rights during the last 60 days of an election campaign, and leading to an orgy of spending in the 2004 elections;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Arizona Republican Assembly (ARA) officially and publicly censures Senator John McCain for dereliction of his duties and responsibilities as a representative of the citizens of Arizona; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the ARA strongly urges State Republican Party Chairman, Matt Salmon, the Arizona State Republican Party and its County and Legislative District affiliates to officially and publicly express their displeasure with Senator McCain by means of a public censure; and

BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that copies of this Resolution be sent to the Chairman of the State Republican Party, to all Republican County and Legislative District Chairman and be issued as a Press Release to the media.

It touches on the three most egregious acts of John McCain in recent memory including his soft handed approach to illegal immigration which hits Arizona particularly hard, McCain/Feingold, and his attempted power grab in the Senate by trying to strike a deal with enough liberal Democrats over judicial nominations to make him the arbitor of who does and who does not get a confirmation vote.

Many people presume McCain will be the GOP nominee in 2008 for the White House. However I still maintain that the Maverick cannot win the conservative vote which is the base of the Republican Party.

On topic and intelligent comments are always welcome as are humorous observations. But liberal talking points with no basis in reality, off topic comments, spam and advertisements are not. Even though you may think you are an intelligent liberal, you probably are not. Keep this in mind as trolling is prohibited and will result in your comments not being approved and comments informing us how much we are a bunch of idiots because you say we are or espousing hate towards the truth are often moved directly to the official “I Hate You/You’re An Idiot” thread. Save us all the time and post there directly if you have a comment that would meet those criteria. Commenters reserve the right to mock claims about how liberal ideas, such as higher taxes, actually work and how conservative and right wingers, are NAZIs, racists, sexists, etc. and will do so with great regularity.
