		<description>And McCains problem is that his actions are best suited to a Democrat and not someone who tries to put on a conservative Republican label every 6 years to get elected.</description>

		<description>I wonder who SA is for…Sonoran Alliance may support the goof, but there is a greater alliance of Americans who support a man who lives to serve. McCain&#039;s respected voice in the State and Washington is an asset essential to the promotion of our state&#039;s interests. Having voice in today&#039;s World, is a remarkable blessing for our state and country. It would do Arizona disservice to have someone who plays into conspiracy theories to scrap for votes represent the state&#039;s interests. JD&#039;s image problem isn&#039;t because of McCain, it&#039;s because of JD.</description>

		<description>Horst &amp; Jeffy Vath (AKA TonyGOPrano),

How about we actually look at the SA posts about Horst&#039;s offer.

Mar 3 9:59PM – Horst, on “McCain Not Blinded by Own Arrogance” Posting

Give me some slag, if you have a particular gripe go see the man and talk to him, if you are to timid, give me a call and I’ll lead you to him. Senator McCain is accessible, I know he is, I know him well.

Mar 4 9:03 AM – Stephen Kohut, on “McCain Not Blinded by Own Arrogance”

Is your offer good? You can send me a message on resistnet.com, the phoenix tea party site, etc. I’m easy to google/find and I use my real name. So, are you bluffing or will you back up your words?

Mar 5 10:31 AM – Stephen Kohut, on “McCain Not Blinded by Own Arrogance” Posting

You go into hiding guy? Someone calls your bluff and the response is to hide from the blogs? Gotta love the keyboard cowards that can’t back up their bluster.

Mar 7 2:53 PM – Horst, on “Say it Ain’t So!”

I went to the Campus, I expected to see you at the picket line and I hoped to hit 2 flies with one stone, like getting you off the picket line and lead you to Senator McCain to ask him whatever it was you wanted an answer from him. Remember, I am the guy who offered to introduce him to you. As it turned out I did not find you.

Mar 7 5:05 PM – Stephen Kohut, on “Say it Ain’t So!”

You finally come out of hiding behind McRINO! Ignored me for days and days. Called your bluff. Told you to send me a message on resistnet, tea party sites, to setup a meeting with McRINO. No messages. Zip!

There was no response from Horst with the offer to meet at any date/time/place, no posting on SA, no message on Resistnet or the GPTPP site. Horst’s idea of meeting his commitment was to supposedly walk out from of a McCain event he was at, that he had not invited me to, to see if I was there. Yep, that is certainly backing up his offer.</description>

		<description>Steve,
Mister Kohut, Sir, seeing that the candidate of your preference seemingly needs to resort to machinations of known Commies like Saul Alinsky, intrigue a la Prince Machiavelli, may I suggest two more? Dr. Rudolf Goebbels and Julius Streicher. 
They were both good dumbfounding a whole Nation and could help you become Prince Kohut the instigator of the 2010 Place Coup.
Nah, it will never happen.</description>

		<description>Mr. Konut,

Horst doesn&#039;t owe you a meeting with McCain.  He invited you to an event last Friday; you failed to show up.  Had your chance, blew it!  Too bad; would have loved to seen you &#039;implode&#039; on Senator McCain, a National hero.  Would have made great video seeing you make a fool of yourself!</description>

		<description>Hurst,

Ridicule, yes and it works well when based on truth as this post it.  I wish it was ridiculous then I would not have the issues I do with McCain.

Alinsky’s tactics are no different than Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War”, Machiavelli’s “The Prince”, Clausewitz’s “On War”, etc. Tactics and strategy are tactics and strategy. They work or they don’t. They are neither good nor bad in themselves.  They are a toolbox. What is good or bad is the ends to which they are put. Alinsky’s tactics work just as well for a conservative agenda as they do for a socialist one.

On a second note, you own me a meeting with McCain. Every going to pay up?</description>

		<description>Yes indeed Kohut #7. That Blog is about as ridiculous as the candidate it was meant to shore up.
It looks as if all his handlers have left in their arsenal is taking cues from from the most left of the radical left, Saul Alinsky the midwife of American Socialism. How sad indeed.</description>

		<description>If you notice, neither Travis or Ann after substantial vapid bloviating (apologies to Bill O&#039;Reilly) always veer away from providing details to back their rhetoric.

If the artilce was full of falsehoods Ann,  it would behoove you to list them. Frankly it was a damned good synopsis of McCain&#039;s career!

Travis, on the other hand, sticks to demeaning his opponents rather than getting into anything involving issues. 

He should return to his natural habitat, a car lot!</description>

		<description>Travis and Ann: Get a life. You RINOs (if indeed you are even Republicans) are too much like the Dems--you can&#039;t take a joke. In order for a joke to be funny, it has to have elements of truth. This was excellent satire--full of truth.</description>

		<description>This is a great satire piece, but I wouldn&#039;t expect any McCain supporters to appreciate that.

There is no evidence that JD&#039; campaign produced this. Even if there is, so what? It&#039;s not like McCain hasn&#039;t been slinging mud at JD.

Kudos to the author!</description>

		<description>I must point out that McCain did NOT, I repeat did NOT, cast a vote in the Presidential Preference Primary in Arizona in 2008.  While he stated multiple times in the local and national media that he was coming back to AZ to do just that (and he did return to AZ that day), he did NOT show up at his polling location.  How do I know?  I was at his precinct polling location the entire day.</description>
