In Tuesday’s primary, hapless Arizona rank-and-file Republican voters elected the pea-brained brontosaur John McCain to lead the GOP charge in November. Pathetic. What were they thinking?
McCain spent much of the primary campaign telling Arizonans he wasn’t that “maverick” so loved and admired by the New York Times. As Michael Stickings wrote at the HuffingtonPost, “I mean, the guy must be losing his mind, or must have lost a good chunk of it already. Either that, or he’s so stupid or arrogant as to think that no one actually remembers all the maverick talk during the ‘08 campaign.” John McCain certainly knows his constituents.
“I’m convinced that Republicans will win in November and we will regain the majorities in both the Senate and the House,” McCain said in his victory speech. “And when we do, we will stop the out of control spending and tax increases and repeal and replace ObamaCare.”
McCain uses the phrase “repeal” to give hope to a majority of Americans angry over Obama’s totalitarian health care monstrosity. But it’s the “replace” portion of McCain’s statement that should send a shiver up the spine of every freedom-loving American. McCainCare can only mean ObamaCare-Lite.
If Republicans win a majority of seats in the United States Senate, it will be the task of conservatives and Tea Party members to marginalize the brontosaur.
The McCain victory signals a more ominous trend within the GOP. It’s a sign that moderate Democrats, having bolted their party over the decades because of its hard-left lurch, are diluting what little conservative testosterone remains in the Grand Old Party.
