Hayworth: McCain flip-flops on immigration
The Washington Times ^ | 2010-04-26 | Desikan Thirunarayanapuram

The current debate in Arizona over illegal immigration, fueled by a new law that will make it a crime to be an illegal immigrant in the state, will propel the drive to unseat long-time senator and former presidential candidate John McCain, his Republican primary challenger predicted on Monday.

J.D. Hayworth, who plans to submit a petition with 11,000 signatures later on Monday to get his name on the ballot for the Aug. 24 Republican primary for the Arizona Senate seat, said "the momentum is on my side."

"Arizonans are telling John McCain, 'Thank you for your service, but it is time to come back home,'" Mr. Hayworth told The Washington Times' "America's Morning News" radio show.

Mr. Hayworth said there is an anti-incumbent movement sweeping the country ahead of this year's midterm elections, and he hopes to gain from it.

"People are involved, they are awakened, and they want a consistent conservative in the U.S. Senate," he said.

Recent polls show Mr. Hayworth narrowing the gap with Mr. McCain. A Rasmussen poll released April 16 showed Mr. McCain's support in the primary race at 47 percent, against Mr. Hayworth's 42 percent. In January, Mr. McCain had 53 percent support to Mr. Hayworth's 31 percent.

Mr. Hayworth, who served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1995 to 2007, said Mr. McCain "has gone through a lot of campaign-year conversions," especially on the issue of illegal immigration, and the people of the state are now looking for "the right kind of change."

Import it. Lets watch CA go bankrupt. There is some cosmic justice for a state to be PC and Bankrupt at the same time. Maybe there the two are connected?

Tell it like it is, JD! McVain will say and do anything to get into power, then morph into the worst liberal POS RINO once he has it.

NO MORE. VOTE JD! RINOS **OUT**!

I hope Hayworth is really sticking it to McCain for his perpetual betrayal of the American public and the US. Showing McCain as the hyper-RINO phony he is should be pretty darned easy. And naturally, this being an election year, Juan is at his “I’m really a conservative” BS once again.

Mr. McCain's office in Phoenix said the campaign's spokesman was not immediately available to comment on Mr. Hayworth's claim.

Bwahahahahaha.

What MODERATES? Don’t we mean ‘progressives’?

And how awesome it would be if we had JD and Jan Brewer has recently impressed me, there’s two!

For McCain this immigration flap is precisely the wrong issue, arising at precisely the wrong time. And it couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy.

He must think that the people of Arizona are really stupid. If he wins the GOP primary, he’s right.

The new Arizona immigration bill cannot help McCain. I see JD has already come out in support of it. I have not heard any response from McCain.
