    Brown, Palin aid McCain's re-election campaign

    by Dan Nowicki - Jan. 21, 2010 12:00 AM
    The Arizona Republic

    Arizona Sen. John McCain
    has enlisted high-profile Republican support in his bid for re-election, including the GOP's man of the hour, Sen.-elect Scott Brown, R-Mass.

    Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, McCain's running mate in the 2008 presidential race who remains popular among conservative voters, also is expected to lend a hand: She visits Arizona on March 26-27 to help McCain
    raise money and campaign.

    "I'm in full-campaign mode, absolutely," McCain said Wednesday. "I'm confidant of victory, but I take nothing for granted."

    McCain is facing Republican challengers Chris Simcox and Jim Deakin in this year's Aug. 24 primary. Former Republican Rep. J.D. Hayworth, a conservative talk-show host on KFYI-AM (550), also may challenge. In anticipation of a possible tough fight, McCain has been burnishing his conservative credentials.

    Brown, who on Tuesday upset Democrat Martha Coakley to win the late Sen. Edward Kennedy's seat, recorded a robocall message for McCain.

    "When few thought I had a chance of winning, John stood by me and supported my campaign. He was the first one," Brown said in the message. "I want to thank him for his support for me and I want to encourage you to continue to support John."

    If McCain's expecting the same result as Brown, he's got another thing coming! McCain is part of the problem, not the solution, he should retire.

    Vote him OUT!

    I sure hope to hell that Brown isn't a double edged dull sword.........

    We need more Whigs. Afterall, they gave us liberty the last time, maybe it's time to have them do it again for us?

    Brown, Palin

    I heard she is coming to Texas to support Rick Perry. George Bush supports Kay Bailey Hutchison. TWO GOOD REASONS NOT TO VOTE FOR EITHER.
    I am disappointed that Sarah has chosen to side with RHINOS rather than support the true conservative in this race, Debra Medina.

    Medina was so strong in the Houston debate that she has been invited to Dalls, Jan. 29 for the governor debate.

    Brown

    Brown and Palin had better not take the path that John McLame has taken or they will find themselves on the short end of some very hostile constituents...If Brown fooled us into supporting him only to take the PROGRESSIVE road then people are going to be pissed off big time....

    It's like having a powder keg in accessible proximity with a 2 year old who carries a lit torch. If they get close enough to the keg, guess what happens.

    It was a matter of real alarm to me to hear Scott Brown at his second press conference immediately begin to speak of already having talked to his colleagues from Massachusetts, all of whom are Democrats, using these words: "They said, 'OK, THE GAME IS OVER NOW', it is time to get to work on the issues."

    This might indicate that those who have come to see themselves as members of an elite political ruling class rather than elected representatives of the people really do view elections as just a "game" in which they participate together at legally designated times for the sake of the masses. Remember that Rep. Gillibrand (D-NY) was firmly against amnesty until she arrived in Washington and met with the liberal wing of the NY Democratic party, saw "the error of her ways", and became an instant voice for "reform for immigrants"! And other Republican wins in 2010 might be defeats for those fighting increased immigration levels and amnesty legislation. Rep. Mark Kirk (R), who is scheduled to run for Barak Obama's Senate seat, is every bit as supportive of benefits and CIR (including the "DREAM Act") for illegal aliens as any Democratic elected official in Illinois. And Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN), who is considering running for Evan Bayh's Senate seat, introduced his "turn-around plan" to grant amnesty to illegal aliens through the back door in 2007 -- his bill would have allowed them to "return to their country of origin" and receive authorization to re-enter the U.S. legally (for 60%, this would entail simply crossing the Rio Grande River from Texas into Mexico). Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) was planning to introduce the Senate version of this bill. Both Hutchison and TX Sen. John Cornyn, also a Republican, are pro-CIR if it includes yet another "guest worker program", and so is Republican senior policy maker Rep. John Kyl (R-AZ). In fact, this seems true of the entire Southwestern delegation of both parties - they want to safeguard their economies (with new industrial centers, commercial buildings, and mushrooming new housing developments built large construction companies using primarily illegal alien labor), and what they are told over and over is the "crucial Hispanic vote". (although voting data shows that the turnout among legal Hispanics voters in the U.S. in very low.) The important thing to this regional delegation is that Los Angeles is now the second largest city in the United States, and that Phoenix, AZ, not Philadelphia, PA, is now the 5th.

    In this light, while McCain's new seniority and leadership in the U.S. Senate and the Republican party have been welcome in matters such as fighting the Democrat's health care reform bill, it is a matter of real concern for opponents of amnesty that Scott Brown evidently considers himself indebted personally to John McCain, and views him as a political mentor. And this certainly is true of Sarah Palin, whose personal views on illegal immigration remain undisclosed.

    An additional matter of real concern is the possiblity that the "leadership" (including sympathetic Republicans) will hold introducing the Senate version of the present CIR bill until after the 2010 elections, and then get it passed using the votes of "lame duck" lawmakers" who have been defeated or, in the case of Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-ND) (who opposed CIR last time solely on the basis of the included guest worker program), who is retiring.

    You're right about those two. Perry is an embarrassment, and Hutchison is a career political hack.

    Personally, I'm not as angered by this as some other people. I would love to see Senator Hayworth, but expecting Sara Palin not to support the GOP presidential nominee-something I disagreed with, BTW-who picked her as his runningmate is a little unrealistic, IMO.

    I think we should judge her by what positions she takes on issues like amnesty, guest-workers, H-1B visas, etc., and by who she supports in other congressional and senatorial races.
