Thank the Lord someone is going to challenge John McCain in the Arizona republican primary. His name is Chris Simcox. He is the founder of the Minuteman group which assists law enforcement in preserving border integrity… something McCain and this administration apparently don’t care much  about.

Here is a sample of what Simcox has said about McCain:

John McCain has failed miserably in his duty to secure this nation’s borders and protect the people of Arizona from the escalating violence and lawlessness,” Simcox said. “He has fought real efforts over the years at every turn, opting to hold our nation’s border security hostage to his amnesty schemes. Coupled with his votes for reckless bailout spending and big government solutions to our nation’s problems, John McCain is out of touch with everyday Arizonans. Enough is enough.”

I dont have a feel yet for Simcox appeal, but suffice it to say that many of us are tired of McCains grandstanding antics, appearances  on late night comedy shows, and his bucking of real conservative principles whenever he wants.  Maybe its time for John to let Cindy take care of him and enjoy the Sedona desert. But please, retire from politics now!

Last night I was watching JayLeno when the ubiquitous John McCain came out as a guest.  Doesn’t that guy have a real job? I am stunned by how glib and happy our former republican standard bearer appears. Hey buddy, you cost us the white house, and the country is going down the tubes! You lost, so get off the stage and stop trying to act like you are the presumptive senior spokesman for the party. Heck in my opinion , he dragged Sara Palin down !

To add insult to injury, when asked who the leaders of the republican party are today,  he listed four without once mentioning his running mate Sara Palin. What an ingrate! Such colossal bad manners and lack of tact come from someone with an incredible ego. Perhaps he wasn’t our best choice, but he was all we had.  Clearly there are those of us who held our noses while voting for him in the hopes that Sara Palin could bring him to his senses.  But now to spurn a running mate who gave her all ,and inspired the audiences like he never could is unconscionable. I saw Sara Palin twice at rallies. I never would have gone to see him . My college age children also went to see Palin because she inspired them. He didn’t.

 So while McCain soaks up the limelight and adulation of comedians and press sources who like to see him agree with Obama, my advice is this:  think back on how lucky you were to have someone like Palin in your corner. You would have gone down in flames without her. And by the way, you are not that funny.
