Arizona Republicans Censure John McCain

Maybe this should happen a little more. Thoughts?   http://townhall.com/tipsheet/danieldoherty/2014/01/13/john-mccain-censured-byhis-own-party-n1777822

I'm sure it doesn't mean a whole lot but it's still nice to see.  BTW, this is only one county in AZ (out of 15) but I'd say it's the biggest as it includes Phoenix. 

 

I'm all for it but if Republicans started doing this across the country with there would be no Republican office holders left.  They sure can't seem to find anyone better than what they have now.

I think Garufa pretty much covered it with his comments. It's great to see that finally some of the R's can stand up and make a definitive statement. Even if it has to be against one of their own.

Maybe this is the shot that the people need to keep the servants of the people in check. One can only hope.

Sometimes you're better off replacing the old with the new even if you think it won't be better. If it is no better replace it too. If it surprises you and does good, keep it for a while. When voters create term limits with their votes, the scum will thin out. Letting them become entrenched is what draws them to politics.

McCain should have been retired by the voters in the late 80's or early 90's. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Continuously being re-elected to office is as close as you can get to absolute power in this country.

McCain and Rubio said that Robert Gates should not have published his book where he criticizes Obama until after Obama was out of office due to it "damaging the presidents image". RINO'S protecting Obama!

Maybe his own state will quit electing him to office. Too late to matter with him, though. He probably won't run again.
