"Agreed. We attack the woman and the Republicans."

I figured his spokesmen would keep hammering the Birther thing, but a full-blown ad replete with cameo by Orly Taitz? Quoth Ron Burgundy: “Boy, that escalated quickly. I mean, that really got out of hand fast.”
My feelings about Birtherism are well known and, needless to say, this is an efficient way of marginalizing Hayworth with undecided centrists who might otherwise be weary of decades of maverickiness. (Geraghty was moved this morning to note Hayworth’s willingness to make chitchat with the John Birch Society.)
But I hope McCain’s prepared to explain why he’s ready to go bareknuckle on Hayworth by linking him to Taitz when he refused to go bareknuckle on The One by linking him to Rev. Wright.
The single biggest knock on his campaign among grassroots righties was that he pulled his punches against Obama after years of “straight talk” about Republicans and conservatives.
I guess he figures, a la Romney, he doesn’t have a prayer with grassroots righties anyway and can afford to shrug off their irritation over the double standard, but he’s going to be asked about it. Wonder what the explanation will be..

I thought JD said the other day he wasn’t one?
John McCain: Liberal Maverick.
Let’s see which label sticks.
McCain, as a soldier and a Senator has lost any respect I had for him. I am truly sorry I held my nose and voted for him in November 2008.
Is there any question that McPOS was a Dem plant......paid to take the fall.
I hope Arizona voters pull their heads out in time.
If this is McCain’s ammunition against Hayworth, shouldn’t McCain quit now?
He did. I suspect Rinos just like the libs don’t much are who or what they lie about.
McCain is apparently not aware how much support a birther can draw away from a liberal. Clueless.
McCain rushed to show his, so Obama just show us the damn BC.

That ad is absolutely disgusting! McCain is trying to portray people who hold the “birther” view as lunatics. This will enrage the conservative base.
WE KNOW OBAMA WAS NOT BORN HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is sickening that the GOP establishment continually denies the fact that Obama was NOT born on American soil!
John McCain spent many years as a POW. As a Viet Nam combat vet (1st Cavalry Division 1970-71) I have the greatest respect for the man. That being said, he is a RINO, and should be voted OUT.
It'll be easy because he ain't gonna be asked.
where was “fighter” mccain in 2008?
McCain is long past his pasture time.
LOL! McCain Add is almost a complete lie. Typical of a sell out Rat. LOL!
After all, a Senator JD Hayworth from Arizona is nothing to be afraid of.
Nearly half of the Arizona Legislature wants to force President Barack Obama to show his birth certificate to state officials if he runs for re-election. A state House committee on Tuesday approved the measure sponsored by 40 of the state's 90 legislators. It would require presidential candidates who want to appear on the ballot in Arizona to submit documents proving they meet the requirements to be president.
This is going to be one of the Democrats tactics in Nov.
