The time has come for Arizona to shed it's red label, one way to do so is to rid the state of John McCain. The Perpetually Single Guy thus officially endorses Ann Kirkpatrick for the U.S. Senate.
Ann Kirkpatrick is a University of Arizona grad, a former lawyer, a former Arizona state House Representative, and the current U.S. House Representative from Arizona's 1st District, she's highly educated and has a history of public service, she's well qualified to hold Arizona's U.S. Senate seat. While her recent debate performance IMO was less than stellar (she left a lot on the table), I still agree with most of her stances on the issues and would love to see her in the U.S. Senate, especially considering it would mean toppling John McCain from his pedestal.
John McCain on the other hand? There was a time that I respected him, I liked his maverick approach to government, I even voted for him, and I never vote for Republicans. Then he ran for President, and the maverick died. In order to appease the far right wing base he had to adopt all of their crazy wingnut policies whether he agreed with them or not, he then inflicted Sarah Palin on the world. Then he lost and became a bitter old man bent on destroying Barack Obama's Presidency so that he could tell the world "I told you so". His approach to foreign policy is dangerous and deserving of further scrutiny. His comments on Obamacare are misleading. He's just plain wrong about so many things it's hard to keep track. He has also been one of the chief obstructionists in congress over the past 8 years and I for one have no interest in rewarding him for that. John McCain has been in the Senate long enough, it's time for him to go.
