Rob Haney,the LD-11 Chairman who spearheaded the recent MCRC Presidential 'Straw Poll' and longtime nemisis of Sen. John McCain, has done an interview with a Minnesota based newspaper - The Minn Post."We put a fatwah out on censuring McCain in summer 2005," Rob Haney, GOP chair of District 11, said Tuesday morning. "It passed."
Haney's wife, Marne, wanted to make it clear that her husband was joking about using "fatwah," but Rob clearly was not joking about the symbolic censure. In fact, over the course of the last few years, you could say Haney has become the hometown thorn in McCain's side.
"That's safe to say," Haney confirmed.
"Electing McCain is tantamount to electing
Hillary," Rob Haney said. "What's the difference?"
"I do believe
McCain
will win in theprimary,"
Haney said, even
though
there was a hope
it wasn't
true.
But leading up to and beyond Feb. 5 (can we drop the "Super-Duper Tuesday" stuff already?), Haney and his ilk in the Arizona Republican Party will do all they can to stop candidate McCain. They can gripe all they want about guns, God and abortion, but what irks Haney most about McCain is that he represents what he refers to repeatedly as the "Republican hierarchy."
And if that gets McCain through primary season and secures his party's nomination, the Haneys foresee bad things coming to the senator from Arizona on Election Day. "It will be a sign, a message, like when Al Gore lost Tennessee in 2000," Marne Haney said.
Thank God Arizonan's don't agree with these miserable two!!
