The thorn in the side of the GOP known as Senator John McCain recently sat down for an interview with The Hill. In the interview, McCain offers a compelling case that should lead all conservatives to support his primary challenger, J.D. Hayworth in the upcoming Arizona GOP primary.

McCain said “We have to convince these independent voters out there that we did learn our lesson about spending and we will be fiscally responsible.” One wonders where TARP, which McCain stopped his campaign to go persuade Republicans to vote for, fits into that picture. It is rich to hear the man who made a campaign promise to buy all of America’s underwater mortgages talk about fiscal responsibility.

You have to read on in the article to come across the real gem in the piece. Throughout the article, Mr. Progressive Republican answers questions about how the GOP is out of touch, and that if they want to win in the future they have to listen to the people. And who has their finger on the pulse of the USA better than the Maverick himself? Well, just about anyone else. When asked a specific question, it is clear that the Mac still doesn’t  get it. With Marco Rubio pulling away from Obama’s favorite Republican McCain said “sure, I’d be glad to help [Charlie Crist]” in his primary battle. So let me get this right, the problem is that the GOP embraced big spending policies and was out of touch while they were in power, so to solve that the Mac would “be glad” to support Charlie Crist, who was a huge supporter of the Porkulus bill, and has been demolished in the polls by a real conservative that connects with Floridians. Crist literally embraced Obama, while campaigning for the biggest, most wasteful spending bill in American history. Marco Rubio headlined CPAC. Marco Rubio is the model for the future for the GOP, not John McCain and definitely not Charlie Crist. Hopefully in the November general election Americans will have the opportunity to vote fr J.D. Hayworth in Arizona. We already know they’ll have have Rubio on the ballot.
