ARIZONA'S TWO JOHN'S !!!!
Senators John McCain and Jon Kyl

Senators John McCain and Jon Kyl

After reading the two Seeing Red AZ. articles, I sat out on a mission to verify or debunk the articles. From two veteran Arizona Republican operatives with many years of experience I learned the following.

McCain/Kyl is hell-bent on controlling the State GOP and is willing to do it by hook or crook {mostly crook}. The modes operandi is to take over at the county and district levels by stacking the deck with McCain supporters, having 2-3 run for the same office thereby splitting the votes and acing out the true conservative. He started in Yuma by raising a lot of money and electing unsuspecting naive willing volunteers, with the promise you don't have to collect the signatures to put your name on the ballot or attend precinct meetings, we will do everything for you. When it comes time to vote for district and state GOP office holders it's just give us your proxy and we will vote for you. After Yuma {a border town} he moved into Pinal County {very close to border} from there he moved his stealth operation to Maricopa {Phoenix} where at his directions his former Arizona campaign manager, a former state GOP chairman and four women led by Jane Lynch, Kathryn Pappas Petsas, Ann Lynch and Shiree Verdone aka Shiree Foster, known as the Lynch Mob proceeded to oust the State GOP Chairman from being elected as a state committeeman. Thereby being precluded from running again as State GOP Chairman.
The efforts to exclude fellow Republicans by those around Senators Jon Kyl and John McCain - plus the overt direct support of Kyl and McCain for candidates for party leadership begs a question - who is representing who?
One of these candidates in a letter to state committeeman plainly stated that we must deliver Arizona for "our own Senator Jon Kyl" -- has this candidate already predetermined that Jon Kyl is the only one who can run in a Republican primary?
Another candidate for party leadership in his letter to Maricopa County precinct committee members stated he did not view the county chair as a policy making position ... which then begs the next question - is the next step that PCs themselves don't have a say in part platform or policy?
Who is representing whom? The grassroots has ground swells of support and platforms result from those movements. People join and vote for candidates based upon that. However, it seems we have two U.S. Senators who want to be the policy makers and directors and simply have obedient party workers following along. They want all the work channeled for them, all the money, and all the attention. If some fledging first time candidate for office who does not have all the insider money behind him or her comes along, well, lots ofhttp://seeingredaz.wordpress.com/2011/01/06/how-the-legislative-process-works-in-demoland-and-beyond/ luck getting elected.
The Kyl and McCain folks have lost sight that the Joe Average Republican voter could care less for the partisan infighting and heavy handed tactics - in fact, it drives them away. Perhaps that is why in Arizona's fastest growing county, Pinal, we now see more Independent voters than either Republicans or Democrats. In fact, the mean, nasty approach by the "McKyl" and "Lynch Mob" types far exceeds anything they have accursed the conservatives of doing. They have become what they accuse others of being.
It has gone from a Arizona GOP "party" to a Arizona GOP brawl. My take the prize for McCain is amnesty and open borders. Not sure  of Kyl's prize

Read ABC’s Jake Tapper’s Political Punch for an insider’s view of voting duplicity and monkeyshines. Collegial vote trading when the necessary totals are already established is another well-known trick to give needed cover to specific congressional members.
John McCain and his senate seatmate Jon Kyl engage in these tactics with regularity.
A strong example occurred back in 2006, when Kyl was up for reelection against Jim Pederson, a well-financed Democrat opponent and McCain was desperately seeking the 2008 presidential nomination. They both represented the same 6 million people. How to solve that conundrum on the important issue of illegal immigration?
Ah, yes. Split their votes and represent everyone!
Personifying a waffle, McCain said: “I live in a state where it’s the number-one issue. I know that Americans are of different minds on this, including my state.”
So Arizona’s two U.S. Senators grabbed one mind each, leaving the rest of us in illegal alien limbo.
This back issue of the Washington Post provides more details.
And the non-partisan Open Congress website provides an illuminating head-to-head voting comparison.
McCain backtracks on amnesty the very day he is sworn in.
Like a thunderstorm spoiling a family picnic, John McCain has done it again!
This morning, secure in the knowledge that he later would take the oath of office for another SIX YEAR term, John McCain immediately shape-shifted back to Juan McAmnesty, telling “Today Show” viewers that “Comprehensive Immigration Reform,” better known as Amnesty, could be a point of compromise between the GOP House and the Dem-controlled Senate.
Got that? Compromise.
Watch this stunning video on The Hill, where the snickering and grinning McCain talks about “helping” Obama, as well as his plans of returning to his longtime goal of implementing Comprehensive Immigration Reform.

Long gone is his phony pre-election “Complete the Dang Fence” facade and talk of bringing troops and law enforcement to the border.
“Once we get the border secured — and we can get the border secured — I would look forward to working on Comprehensive Immigration Reform,” McCain declared.
Meantime, our Senior Senator, so eager to forgive the crimes of illegal aliens, apparently refuses to grant the same consideration to another of “God’s Children,” former Congressman J.D. Hayworth.
The word is that McCain operatives have made it clear to businesses in Arizona and D.C. that they should not hire Hayworth. After all, J.D. had the audacity to challenge McCain and predicted that what happened today would in fact come to pass were McCain reelected.
Even though Phoenix broadcast outlets continue to cower under McCain’s intimidation, J.D. guest hosts on talk radio in markets from New York to California. This week you can hear Hayworth from Las Vegas as he does the KXNT afternoon drive-time show from 4 – 7:00 PM, (MST) Listen live here.
Ironically, Hayworth’s successor on KFYI is scheduled to interview McCain this afternoon during the same time period. Count on more of the same sycophantic gibberish we were fed during the campaign season.
It would be interesting to see if he asks McCain about his comment back in 2007, when he told voters in South Carolina: “I got the message” regarding his amnesty proposals. It’s obvious he still hasn’t.
