    For all of the AZ conservatives and Republicans who don’t have a senatorial candidate to support in our AZ race, let me suggest that you look to a real honest man in Missouri. Rep. Todd Akin is running against the rabid anti-American Claire McCaskill, and has an excellent chance of unseating her. His campaign is in great shape, even though the DC beltway elites in the GOP tried to butcher him and let McCaskill retain her seat.

    Here is a little update on Rep. Akin. He has been an unwavering conservative in Congress, honest and patriotic. Our prayers, support and donations to him will be well-directed.

    I have never been a fan of Jeff Flake, but a vote for anyone else is a vote to continue the Harry Reid leadership in the Senate. Reid has to go!

      And a vote for Bob Worsley in LD25 is also a vote for Harry Reid. Worsley gave him $500 as a campaign contribution “because he was my friend.”.

      ‘The U.S. Senate hinges on the election of Jeff Flake.’

      That is the grade-A crapola coming from the Flake campaign right now. How about:

      “I’m a lying, illegal alien-sucking whisk broom for the agricultural industry and have fought Arizona on every immigration control they’ve tried, but vote for me or wake up with Harry Reid’s head in your bed.”

      A majority in the Senate is 51. Unlike Arizona, the ‘tea party’ is flourishing elsewhere. There is your “51.” No Flake required.

    :-( A VOTE FOR JEFF FLAKE IS A VOTE FOR ILLEGAL ALIEN AMNESTY :-(

    Illegal aliens continue to pour across our southern border. They take jobs from American citizens, overburden our shcools, increase crime and cost Arizona taxpayers millions of dollars. What is Jeff Flake’s “solution” to this problem? AMNESTY for illegal aliens!

    Jeff Flke’s STRIVE Act, co-authored with “progressive” Chicago Democrat Luis Gutierrez and co-sponsored by then U. S. Congressman Rahm Emanuel, contained hidden within it Obama’s DREAM Act. That’s right! The DREAM Act, which Obama just implemented by dictatorial decree, was contained, word for word, within Flake’s STRIVE Act.

    The 2012 GOP platform says no amnesty for illegal aliens but Flake has proven that he is an amnesty supporter. So why worry about if Harry Reid is still running the Senate if you are going to send a “Republican” amnesty supporter like Flake to the U. S. Senate. He’ll just pick up where Reid left off, pushing to make Obama’s DREAM Act law! He already tried to make the DREAM Act law once, by hiding it in his STRIVE Act legislation!

      …you do realize that Carmona openly supports the Dream Act, right? I think you and others who are so adamant about not supporting Flake should establish that you do so before you say anything else.

        If you had read more threads here, you would know that those of us supporting Carmona KNOW he supports the Dream Act. The Arizona Republican party voted in the primary to give us NO CHOICE in the Senate seat election as it pertains to illegal immigration.

        When the Arizona Republican party chose Flake, they made a clear choice between an immigration enforcement candidate (Cardon) and an amnesty whore who has already CONSPIRED WITH DEMOCRATS IN WASHINGTON to shove amnesty down America’s throat (Flake).

        So, screw Jeff Flake and screw the GOP. If we get the same from Flake or Carmona, we will err on the side of Carmona and hope for a REAL GOP CONSERVATIVE in the next go round.

          Zoo…where to begin?

          A. We have no idea what a “Senator” Cardon would have or have not done regarding the immigration issue. So enough of the hyperbolic illusion re: his abilityntomthread the needle on this issue that has been a perplexing problem for decades.
          B. if you are a conservative then there is clearly only one choice for the seat and that is Congressman Flake. Side by side…judging their policies and philosophies, you simply can’t make an argument for Carmona.
          C. Tantrums are never appealing particularly when they are baseless, ignorant, and shortsighted.

          Be well. Vote Romney/Ryan..Vote Flake..and pray for a shift toward fiscal responsibility and management…not to mention the protection of religious rights, sanctity of marriage, and the rights of the unborn.

            Doug…where to begin?

            A. We DO know what Jeff Flake tried to do on the issue. He crafted, along with Chicago “progressive” Democrat Congressman Luis Gutierrez, the STRIVE Act of 2007 amnesty legislation which was co-sponsored by then Congressman Rahm Emanuel. The DREAM Act was one piece of much bigger “give away” legislation for illegal aliens which Flake sought to get passed into law. House Republicans saw to it that the bill never even got a vote. That same year, Flake was REMOVED from the powerful House Judiciary Committee by his fellow Republicans for “bad behavior”.

            B. If you are Conservative then there is only one choice for you in this election and that is to NOT cast a vote for self-admitted liar and illegal alien amnesty supporter Jeff Flake. Don’t vote for Carmona if you can’t go there BUT no self-respecting Conservative would vote FOR a self-admitted liar and illegal alien amnesty supporter. If you were Conservative I wouldn’t have to explain that to you.

            C. Refusing to cast a vote for Flake is an act of rebellion. You can learn something about that by reading the Declaration of Independence, or wasn’t that something that you were exposed to in school.

            Be well yourself! :-)

            Vote for ROMNEY/RYAN! It is not necessary that they be prefect. What is necessary is to stop the Marxist cancer eating up our nation by sending B. Hussein Obama back to Chicago, or Hawaii or where ever it is he came from, LOL!

            A little scared, Dougy? You should be.

            BTW, the “ignorant” voted for Jeff Flake in the primary and were accessories in the killing of Border Patrol agent Nicholas Ivie. Then your hero, John Bastard McCain, jumped to be the apologist and defender for the two-party oligarchy’s blatant criminal negligence.

            We are going to flush these two turds (and more) out of our government. Get used to it.

        @ Ron Don Volante:

        We expect Carmona to support the DREAM Act because he is a Democrat. We DID NOT expect Jeff Flake to support the DREAM Act, or any other kind of illegal alien amnesty, because he is supposedly a “Conservative Republican” from Arizona, ground zero for illegal immigration!

        Carmona is being true to his party. Flake has flied in the face of the explicit statements in the 2012 GOP platform stating unequivocal opposition to amnesty for illegal aliens.

        It was House Republicans who saw to it that Flake’s STRIVE Act never came to a vote because it was in alignment with what Democrats wanted and in direct opposition to the Republican position. Furthermore, Flake has the great honor and distinction of actually having been REMOVED from the House Judiciary Committee by his own fellow Republicans for “bad behavior”!

        This race is about two things. First, it’s about the desire of the Arizona Republican Party to get a McCain illegal alien amnesty supporter into the U. S. Senate. It was John McCain and Ted Kennedy who were going to sponsor Flake’s STRIVE Act in the Senate!

        Secondly, it is about manipulation and attempted extortion by the Arizona Republican Party which thinks that it can get people like you to vote for a self-admitted liar and illegal alien amnesty supporter like Jeff Flake based upon party loyalty. That is disingenuous in the extreme!

        Principles FIRST, party loyalty second! It is un-American to deny Conservative Republicans, and all of the voters of Arizona, a CHOICE regarding illegal alien amnesty. The Arizona Republican Party has stacked the deck in that regard. “Head I win, tails you lose!”

        No! If Jeff Flake goes to the U. S. Senate it will NOT be with my vote! I will NOT support and empower the Arizona Republican Party in it’s attempts to shut out Conservatives and those voters in Arizona who want someone representing them in Washington who clearly stands opposed to illegal alien amnesty in alll of it’s various forms!

    Carmona supporters: Do NOT be discouraged by the poll here. This is a conservative website, whose audience consist of the same GOP checked-pants country club illegal immigration profiteers who crapped in their pants to get Jeff Flake past the primary stage. They are also John McCain stumpets who like the fact that he is controlling Arizona choices with his racketeering ways.

    National polls show the Flake-Carmona race a dead heat, so the skewed results here mean absolutely nothing.

    DESTROY THE MCCAIN MACHINE! VOTE FOR RICHARD CARMONA FOR U.S. SENATE.

    SEND A MESSAGE TO THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN PARTY: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

    Excuse me, it was the VOTERS who put Jeff Flake on the ballot in the General Election, not the AZ Republican Party.

      What is a political party? A paper filing with the Secretary of State? A limited liability corporation? An inanimate object? Maybe it’s a condom for the Arizona Chamber of Commerce?

      Primary elections are for each PARTY to decide its candidates. General elections are for the VOTERS to decide between the candidates. Perhaps you prefer the “Top 2″ method to further distance any PARTY accountibility?

        You obviously can’t distinguish between registered Republican (and independent) voters and the AZ Republican Party which did not endorse either of the 3 candidates in the primary.

          The primary voter turnout for 2012 was 28%. It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out that voters in primaries are the most connected-at-the-hip, puredee party mongers, whether they be Republican or Democrat or what have you. These are the people that attend all the meetings, make the bulk of party contributions, establish party platforms, and breathe, eat, and sleep for the “party.” The are also known as “hacks.”

          From Wikipedia “… A political party is a political organization that typically seeks to influence government policy, usually by nominating their own candidates and trying to seat them in political office…”

    If you really want to start up a new society from scratch, why are you here?

    Parthenogenesis. Something growing from nothing, reproduction without sex. Applied to politics, it’s Marxism. Destroy all of the constraints of society, from parties to institutions to family and church, and build a society up cleanly and rationally from there.

    If Jeff Flake is not elected to the U.S. Senate Arizona will be a Blue State, and the Colorado Blue Print would’ve been duplicated here. This outcome is flat out unacceptable.

      If Jeff Flake IS elected we will have a self-admitted liar, who deceived voters, and a supporter of illegal alien amnesty representing the people of Arizona in the U. S. Senate! And remember this…

      When Flake co-authored the STRIVE Act illegal alien amnesty legislation, along with Chicago “progressive” Democrat Luis Gutierrez, it was Ted Kennedy and John McCain who were set to sponsor it in the Senate! Kennedy is deceased now but John McCain is still here. So if Flake is elected we can now have Flake taking the place of Ted Kennedy, ready, along with McCain, to vote for the next STRIVE Act illegal alien amnesty which comes along!

      Let us also not forget that Jeff Flake has the dubious “honor and distiction” of having been REMOVED from the House Judiciary Committee for “bad behavior”, not by Democrats, but by his fellow Republicans!

      We can do better than Jeff Flake. We should do better than Jeff Flake. We DESERVE better than Jeff Flake!

      Blue on blue, heartache on heartache
      Blue on blue now that we are through
      Blue on blue, heartache on heartache
      And I find I’m thrilled – over losing you

      I think you were a little “flat.”
