2. He can't challenge McSame if he runs as a Democrat

You challenge incumbents in primary races, not in the general election (where you run against someone).

3. Nope, he's going to challenge him in the PRIMARY- forcing McInsane to spend $$$
and deplete his coffers before the general election. :bounce:

11. I would NOT want
to see Simcox in the Senate but it sure would be sweet if he takes McCain out in the primary and then a Dem beats Simcox in the election.

13. These paramilitary-wannabe motherfuckers just disgust me through and through.
They think they're *so* goddamn tough and patriotic while they terrorize people for essentially the equivalent of a traffic violation. A grossly over-the-top reaction like that of the Minutemen should clue everyone in that the whole "movement" they represent has little to do with actual lawbreaking (and crossing the border unauthorized is considered a trivial offense by law anyway), and everything to do with racism against dark-skinned furriners.
