The words humility and McCain don’t fit in the same sentence. Arrogant, nasty, back stabbing, entitled? Yes. Humble? No. Not that I’ve ever witnessed.

If McCain is responsive to Arizona than explain McCain-Kennedy Amnesty in a state that has voted over 70% yes on every ballot initiative to combat criminal aliens? If McCain respect’s our rights than explain McCain-Feingold, now gutted as unconstitutional by the SCOTUS. If McCain respects our opinion then explain his statement that John votes based on his opinion and not that of the state.

That’s not humility or conservativism. That’s an arrogant RINO.

A lot said in the article, a lot to address. In regards to the supplements bill, McCain’s recent decision of non-support for the bill ensures its death. What this proves is that McCain is responsive to the people of Arizona. He is not an ideologue but instead, refers to the public. That is a true representative, one that shows humility and listens to the people. McCain heard the people speak, and he acted to serve those voices of opposition. This “flip-flop” should prove McCain’s responsiveness to Arizonans as a representative of the people. Could it be that “flip-flopping” really is a testament to political responsiveness to the people? At least he has the character, lack of pride, and humility to represent Arizonans.

McCain gave an HONEST statement and I can respect that. I understand the frustration of my fellow Arizonans but let’s be clear headed here, John McCain overall has always had a conservative record. Yes I said it and I’m sure in 20+ years of doing anything most of us have made a lot of different decisions, some might consider “flip flopping”. This is how I see it, you take every situation as it comes, weigh your value system, look at it from every angle and then decide. It screams red flags to me if a guy thinks his way of thinking is right 90%+ of the time. We live in the most diverse country on Earth, and one of it’s most diverse states. Get off your high horses and start thinking people.

McCain = cap & tax = amnestry = TARP = anti first amendment = anti second amendent = RINO

Is that easy enough for you to understand MelissaRoondle?

John McCain just received the National Taxpayers Award for the 3rd MOST FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE MEMBER IN SENATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is by no accident, this is not b/c you people want to call him old, this is not because you all want to say he flip flopped, this is not b/c he has amnesia…this is b/c he has and always will be working for the people of Arizona and the people of this Nation. Make no mistake that John McCain wants this Nation to continue being great and he will continue serving the people.

How did McCain’s support for Cap n’ Trade, McCain-Kennedy and votes against tax cuts support fiscal conservatism?

By: Stephen Kohut

Stephen Kohut — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 19:18:19 +0000

Yeah he’s stuck up for fiscal conservatives, which explains his repeated no votes on the Bush tax cuts, yes vote for $700B TARP, ongoing support for cap and tax, and on and on. With help like that who needs a Debtocrat.

That seems pretty swayed to me. I mean, McCain came out with a statement in a timely manner. Plus, he’s got endorsements that say otherwise, in regards to him not being taxpayer-friendly. I think you all need to be less biased. McCain’s been sticking up for fiscal conservative values since day one.

Too bad, JD, your campaign is already doomed because, well, it’s you running.

He’s doing the “Kerry” which John practiced when he almost got picked as the Dem VP candidate in 2004.

Did he flip before he flopped? Give John boy a break. He is still trying to remember his Party registration.

Is it senility or lack of integrity? Take your choice….Either way he is wrong for Arizona. We deserve better!

John – They are on to you! That “I can’t remember” trick only makes their point. Retire before it’s too late.
