    I would love to see McClown gone, but I couldn't support Simcox. The guy is an absolute con artist in the Jim Gilchrist mode. He already has scammed people out of thousands of dollars of donations for that sorry excuse of a fence he's trying to build.

    Not even MCDC will endorse Simcox. Carmen has made it perfectly clear.
    MCDC is a tax exempt non-profit, they cannot endorse political candidates.

    Your information is incorrect.

    Yes, they are tax-exempt, but they can endorse political candidates as long as that is not their main reason for existance. They are a 501(c)(4).

    It is the 501(c)(3)s that cannot endorse political candidates.

    IRC 501(c)(4), (c)(5), and (c)(6) organizations may engage in political
    campaigns on behalf of or in opposition to candidates for public office provided
    that such intervention does not constitute the organization's primary activity.

    Thanks for the info, I didn't know there were these different non-profit types.

    Welcome.

    Another difference is that donation to a 501c3 are tax deductible, whereas donations to a 501c4 are not.

    There are some who believe a 501c4 should publicize endorsements of candidates. Here's the reasoning behind that:

    Legal Capacities and Limitations
    However, a 501(c)(4) can (and should) announce its endorsements to the press – an effective way of letting a wider public know of its support. Although the organization can’t coordinate its endorsement with a campaign, the campaign may independently publicize the organization’s support. Influential 501(c)(4)s that have name recognition with the public should use this tactic to amplify their power to motivate voters.
    If we can get a viable candidate and get endorsements from some of the bigger influential groups out there, it could make a big difference.

    I'm still waiting to hear that JD Hayworth is running. I think he'd do a terrific job.

    I too think McCain is worse than Simcox. However, I'm sorry that the good people of Arizona are forced to side with the lesser of two evils on the issue of illegal immigration and border security.

    One thing of note though, McCain has never painted himself as anything but an illegal alien amnesty supporter. Simcox on the other hand is doing some serious flip-flopping on illegal alien issues. Unfortunately his flopping is landing him on the dark side! Make no mistake about it, Simcox is an amnesty supporter too! Furthermore, Simcox is being very disingenuous. It would appear as if the man is compromising his principles to ehance his career opportunities. IMO, that makes him worse than McCain where personal integrity is concerned.
    Your right MW...I seen him on FOX news at the border and in the interview he said we needed CIR after the borders are closed.....they are already trying to convince us the borders are closed and we know they are not, but they will have to do this to get an amnesty through!

    McCain is what broke up the Republican Party from what I saw.
    The guy did stupid stuff like voting for TARP. What an idiot he is.
