(CNN) – Arizona Sen. John McCain — whose support of illegal immigration reform nearly derailed his presidential bid two years ago — will face a Senate primary challenge next year from Minuteman founder Chris Simcox.
Simcox, who has resigned from the volunteer organization with the mission of preventing illegal crossings of the U.S. border, will formally announce his Senate bid on Wednesday.
"John McCain has failed miserably in his duty to secure this nation's borders and protect the people of Arizona from the escalating violence and lawlessness," Simcox said in a statement. "He has fought real efforts over the years at every turn, opting to hold our nation's border security hostage to his amnesty schemes."
"Coupled with his votes for reckless bailout spending and big government solutions to our nation's problems, John McCain is out of touch with everyday Arizonans. Enough is enough," he added.

I went on Mr. Simcox's website. He's alot like the Texas group that feel immigrants shouldn't be allowed in the US and he feels the Govenment should step aside and let the People take care of the problem. He believes in carrying a gun to protect the USA. No problem if an American killed an immigrant coming in the US. It's back to the wild wild west. He feels their are others in the US to do the field work of the immgrants such as was the history of this country. Many views are that of our past. It will be interesting as he's a Republican running against Granpa McCain on the Republican ticket.
Hmmm, what's the difference? Someone with views in the past vs. someone who is the past??
Any bets that McSame turns into the next Lickerman? Loses the primary to a challenger then goes 'independent' 'cause he can't face democracy (getting voted out)?
