Facebook is in flames over THIS article.
Freeps hate his ass so much that the link below includes a "Would you like to see John McCain retire?" poll.
All of my "red state" Faceboook friends are busting blood vessels over this.

McCain ends suspense; says he’ll run again in 2016
The conservative vigil over Sen. John McCain’s political intentions for 2016 appears to be at an end. The former GOP presidential nominee and political moderate has indicated he’ll seek a sixth Senate term, despite a stiff headwind from ideological conservatives in his home state of Arizona.
McCain told MSNBC he’s “absolutely” making plans to run again, but acknowledged he’ll face stronger opposition — particularly in the party primary phase — than he’s yet seen in his long political career.
“You have to hope for the best and prepare for the worst. I definitely think that I would have to absolutely anticipate a Tea Party candidate or two or three… everybody tells me that I’m the number one target of the tea partiers,” McCain said.
“We’ve already talked with finance people in the state, we’ve already talked to different groups and organizations ranging from the Arizona Chamber to the Southern Arizona Defense Alliance to build the coalitions we need to build.”

the people hate him as much as they say they do they can always vote him out. Easy peasy. They can always vote against him in the primaries. If that fails plug their nose and vote for his dem challenger or 3rd party. That somehow just never seems to cross their minds. 
We supposedly live in a free democracy yet we keep electing the same group of assholes.
