It makes me wonder what else McCain did for the liberals. You learn something new every day, don’t you.

All I can say is more power to you Hayworth. Kick that senile Soros loving leftist donkey to the curb.

What do we have on McCain?

It doesn't seem to matter how much we have on McCain some people will defend him to the end.

Well, making them defend him is better than him getting away with treatening and smearing conservatives! We need to put him on the defensive and the same with Graham.

Hayworth charged that in 2005 Salter tried to "blackmail" him into stopping his public criticism of McCain's comprehensive immigration-reform bill. Hayworth said his chief of staff got an e-mail from Salter indicating that McCain might retaliate by commenting in the media about Hayworth's links to the then-unfolding Jack Abramoff lobbyist corruption scandal.

Hayworth further suggested that Salter was responsible for planting false information in the Washington Times that said Hayworth was the "target" of an Abramoff-related Justice Department investigation. The Abramoff scandal helped Democrat Harry Mitchell upset Hayworth in 2006.

On the radio, Hayworth pre-empted critics who might suggest that "spite" would fuel his possible bid against McCain.

"No, I would never run for office, quote, out of spite, but I do have a profound disagreement with Senator John McCain over the concept of amnesty, whether he wants to call it comprehensive immigration reform or a pathway for guest workers to remain," he said. "It is amnesty, and I remain against it."

As I have said before, I will contribute to Hayworth's campaign, and I will do so generously.

McCain is used by the media to bolster Obama's policies. Every time Obama says or does something, the media goes to an essentially agreeable McCain as the voice of the GOP.  Notice they go to McCain early, not asking more conservative members of the GOP for their opinion, as they know that McCain's opinion will likely favor Obama's position. For this reason alone (not that there aren't many other reasons), McCain should be defeated.  It will cut the media's depiction of the preferred “voice of dissent” as open to Obama's positions.

Joe is pro-defense when it comes to foreign policy. That counts for a lot.

"Foreign policy" consists of more than just your idea of "defense," newbie.

Too bad that Lieberman is pro-amnesty, just like McCain.

Oh, and one more thing: Wilsonian nation-building is NOT conservative. It's distinctly "progressive."

If all you're here to do is shill for liberals (like Lieberman) and RINOs (like Romney, Giuliani, and McInsane), newbie, then you may very well be on the wrong Web site.

See posts 31 and 32. We’ve got a McCain operative right here on this thread.

You quoted from a freeper, this old worn out argument:

First I’ve never seen Rabscuttle promote any of the people listed....another uninformed spew from someone ideologically blind.

Would that be the Minority Party....the one that NO one wants to admit they belong to????? Without conservatives and independants there aren’t enough country club repubs to win dogcatcher.

Check the mission statement. This is a conservative forum not a Republican forum.
