A politician, any politician, can do nothing until and unless he is elected. To vote for someone who has little or no chance of being elected is stupid. You might just as well be wasting your time blathering on this and other forums.
If you don't like the candidates sent up by either party then it is up to you and yours to make sure strong candidates that carry your beliefs are incubated and nurtured from local level to national level.
Voting your favorite whiz-bang who has no chance of winning high office is like hunting moose with a BB gun. It's annoys the moose and wastes your time.

So is losing to the dem candidate. On that note, the WaPo is reporting that Harry Reid is now favored for reelection because the flake who managed to win the GOP primary has so much loony material in her background and platform that Dingy Harry will be able to pull it out. I guess that's what you call standing for principle, if your priciple is to reelect Harry. Steve.. http://www.rasmussenreports.com/pub...tions/nevada/election_2010_nevada_senateSharron Angle, following her come-from-behind Republican Primary win Tuesday, has bounced to an 11-point lead over Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in Nevada�s closely-watched U.S. Senate race.

This may be the year where the RINO supporters have to put their money where their mouths are. They wailed and howled for support of the worthless POS McCain in '08. Now, they can choose to sit out, vote for Tea Party types or go full dem, instead of dem light.
We'll see if McCain wins the primary in AZ, but the RINOs have a choice to make in Nevada. They can do what they accuse non-RINO supporters of doing, or suck it up and knock Harry's dick in the dirt... Interesting times.
On the NRA note, the fact that only around 10% of the members eligible to vote, did. This apathy is embarrassing and also what just re-elected a guy like Joaquin Jackson to the Board and also support Harry in Nevada. The whiners who are not NRA members are bad enough, but to not even vote in the BOD elections when you are eligible to vote is just stunning..

For years they've been telling us to take it for the good of conservativism. Now we've got some real conservative candidates so as you say, let's see who is who.

If you single out just one member of Congress who symbolizes all that is wrong with the Republican party, it would *have* to be McCain. Big +1

For McCain to receive support from any pro-gun organization is sad and cause for concern.

At best, what the NRA should have done is endorse Hayworth for the primary, and if he still lost to McCain then NRA could have endorsed McCain over his Dem opponent.
But to endorse McCain from the start... they're selling out every NRA member.

Rasmussen's site states it will come out later today with the polling head to head numbers for both McCain and Hayworth versus the likely dem challenger(Glassman). I'm thinking both GOP candidates will poll higher but it will be interesting to verify.
By chance,if anyone is loitering over on Rasmussen and they happen to stumble upon it, kindly post it,please.

However nothing you said negates the truth of my statement. It would better serve the purpose of civil discussion if you would concentrate on intelligent rejoinder instead of begging to have your unworthy ass kissed.

You start out with a false premise, that Hayworth is unelectable. Everything after that is just so much white noise.
It is also true that at some point, voting for a politician such as McCain does not equate to the lesser of two evils, even if you believe in voting that way. The single biggest issue right now is that of immigration and McCain simply can't change his stripes on that with a couple of catchy slogans.

In my opinion Hayworth is not electable, therefor I would go with McCain. He certainly was not my first choice in '08 and he ran a very weak and confused campaign evidenced by his VP choice and his reluctance to attack BHO. Nevertheless I supported him and voted for him and would do so again if I lived in Arizona.
If you think Hayworth is electable then you must support him. Have you donated to his campaign?

It's my feeling that both McCain and Hayworth could defeat Glassman in November. Rasmussen is supposed to have out there most recent head to head polling numbers but they aren't,as yet.
Maybe there will be something in the polling analysis to shed some light as to who's the stronger candidate versus Glassman.

You got the opinion part right and IMO your opinion is frickin' stupid.

Why is Hayworth unelectable? Because Palin and the NRA are supporting McClown.
