ARA Votes Against McCain

It is highly doubtful that the state GOP will do anything but its nice to see this happening at least at the grassroots level.


The Arizona Republican Assembly (ARA) voted unanimously during its annual state convention to censure Arizona’s senior senator.
The censure measure will be sent to Matt Salmon, chairman of the Arizona GOP -- with hopes of a state party censure as well -- to all Republican county and legislative district chairmen and will be issued as a press release to the media. No one spoke in support of McCain during discussion of the resolution.

The resolution reads as follows:

WHEREAS, Senator John McCain is presently co-sponsoring, together with his Democrat soul-mate, Senator Teddy Kennedy, a Bill to Reform the Immigration Policy of the United States promoting amnesty for illegal aliens and for their U.S. employers, thus ignoring the opinions of his constituents expressed in numerous polls and personal pleas; and

WHEREAS, Senator McCain deserted the ranks of the Republican Party and the Leadership of the U.S. Senate on the issue of limiting the filibuster of judicial nominations, some of which have been on-hold for several years, thus stalling the President’s agenda for judicial reform; and

WHEREAS, Senator McCain led the Democrat Party in “reforming” campaign finance, providing for a clear usurpation of 1st Amendment free speech rights during the last 60 days of an election campaign, and leading to an orgy of spending in the 2004 elections;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Arizona Republican Assembly (ARA) officially and publicly censures Senator John McCain for dereliction of his duties and responsibilities as a representative of the citizens of Arizona; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the ARA strongly urges State Republican Party Chairman, Matt Salmon, the Arizona State Republican Party and its County and Legislative District affiliates to officially and publicly express their displeasure with Senator McCain by means of a public censure; and

BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that copies of this Resolution be sent to the Chairman of the State Republican Party, to all Republican County and Legislative District Chairman and be issued as a Press Release to the media.

Very cool, I had no idea Arizona was doing this. I'm anxious to see what happens. But actually . . . I came by to wish you a Happy Father's Day, enjoy it.

FINALLY! Someone is taking that Jackass in an Elephant suit McCain to task! Hopefully the Republican Party in Arizona will boot his treacherous tail out of office the next time he`s up for re-election!

This will make dandy campaign material to use when Mr. I`m- better-than-you-are runs for President. McCain even gives RINO`s a bad name!

Thank you so much Stacy, my job as a dad is the one I value the most. it is the most important and the one I think I will have answer for answer for at the final judgment. It was so kind of you to remember me.

Tim, you have out done me in descriptions, a jackass in an elephant suit, I love it.

McCain is good because he's not a partisan hack like you all are. He can think for himself and doesn't tote some assinine party line.

The word is asinine, but I rather enjoy your misspelling for obvious reasons.
