JD Hayworth was an earmark queen.
I would vote McCain over a guy who just wants to line the pockets of his biggest contributers.
Yes McCain has treated conservatives like crap but JD has spent out money like it was his to play with.
So, make your case with FACTS, links, etc., not your opinion.
You sure as heck didn’t see Hayworth pulling this crappola:
How soon we forget...
McCain wants to spend $300 billion to buy up bad mortgages; Martin Feldstein behind it
By Michelle Malkin • October 7, 2008
I can’t underscore enough what a rotten idea John McCain’s ACORN-like government mortgage buy-up is. I said it during my liveblog. And I’ll say it again: “HE WANTS TO EXPAND THE BAILOUT. He wants to do what ACORN wants to do. We’re Screwed ‘08.”
This was his supposed “game-changer.” This was the very first thing out of his mouth during the debate tonight — his big pitch right off the bat. The McCain campaign immediately sent out this fact sheet on the proposal, which will cost at least $300 billion. The proposal involves directing the Treasury Secretary to “purchase mortgages directly from homeowners and mortgage servicers.” That’s on top of the trillion-dollar crap sandwich
Read that last paragraph again. He would enact this new spending plan using the authorities provided in the stabilization bill — the same ones I reported on in my special column for the NYPost today championed by Obama’s friends at ACORN.
It’s a great idea…for everyone who bought overpriced homes with Adjustable Rate Mortgages. Those who rented or bought within their means or locked into fixed-rate loans that they can afford are out of luck, naturally.[snips]

I keep seeing this stated...what I would like to see is some sources for the statement, and also a comparison of McCain's spending against Hayworth's.
There aren't very many in congress who can rightfully claim the title of "Earmark Virgin" as far as I can tell.
Who would you support (who has any chance at all) besides McCain if you lived in Arizona as I do?
That has to be one of the biggest understatements of all time.
You mean like when McCain voted to spend our money on TARP?
Your source for that would be.....?
Earmarks are another issue entirely especially when you consider who you are screwing by not joining in. Your state, and your people that put you in office.
I hardly think, sinking JD on earmarks and voting McCain after all he has and has NOT done, would be the way to go. After all, it is quite a few years later, and one might think to ask JD what he thinks of earmarks. I’m sure that will be one of the questions.
