Oh! The scandal of it all! A contested Primary and the Maricopa County Republicans are having JD Hayworth speak at their annual Lincoln Day Luncheon WITHOUT inviting Jim Deakin or Senator McCain! For Shame! For Shame!

This was the newest bone of contention to rile the august body of Republicans at last night’s (Thursday, April 1st) Maricopa County Monthly EGC Meeting. The McCain people were unhappy because of what they claim appears to be an endorsement of JD Hayworth over incumbent Senator, John McCain.

One member of the council raised the issue under new business and quoted the by-laws prohibiting anyone on the council from endorsing anyone in a contested primary on behalf of the council without a 60% approval vote by the council. This council member then attempted to one up the by-laws by calling for the council to raise this threshold to NEVER endorse anyone in a contested primary. The motion was declared out of order which started another fight over the authority of the Chairman to declare a motion out of order. A roll-call vote was taken and passed in the Chairman’s favor (10 – 8, ~5 abstaining).

    JD can do whatever he wants but there is no way that he will win. McCain has this election won…and for great reason- McCain is who we need fighting against this extreme left administration!

    Janisdeeker,

    John McCain opposed the Bush tax cuts, wrote the bill granting amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, co-authored the McCain-Lieberman Cap & Trade bill, authored the McCain-Feingold legislation that violated the First Amendment rights of every American and voted to confirm this far-left activist as Attorney General of the United States. Please, don’t insult my intelligence.
