"The most recent online scores from the American Conservative Union are from 2008. In that year, John McCain scored 63 and had a lifetime average of 81.43. ... Hayworth's last full year in Congress was 2006. His 2006 ACU score was 96, his 2005 score was 100, and his lifetime average was 97.56." [Top 4%] [American Thinker]
Remember when McCain spoke up for Obama?
'McCain faced a booing crowd Friday for rebuking a man who said he would be "scared... to bring a child up" if Obama was elected president, "I have to tell you he is a decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States," McCain said.' [snip]
October 10, 2008 -- a day of RINO infamy.
[A 'decent' enough person to befriend Bill Ayers and Rezko, have babies killed after they survive abortions, desire graphic sex-ed for kindergartners, mirandize foreign terrorists, and give stimulus money to first degree murderers. Thank you McCain. Go Hayworth!]
Big link roundup is about to come ....
My sense is that the McCain camp is hyper sensitive to anything coming from JD. On wonders why they are so reactive like this?
Conclusion. they are are fraid of losing.

“Why does McScumbucket still have $22 million dollars from his Presidential campaign?”
When you have a list of Wall Street donors (that the taxpayer bailed out) like McCain does, it’s not surprising.
And then there was the campaign itself...if you could call it a campaign. In my county we, the republican party tried for weeks to get signs, bumper stickers, anything from the McCain/Palin campaign. We never got anything. At the time we remarked that it seemed McCain just didn’t want to win.

Ross Perot and MIAs
H. Ross Perot
http://www.aiipowmia.com/ssc/ssc29.html
In the Fall of 1969, Secretary of the Navy John Warner approached H. Ross Perot to discuss the POW/MIA issue. Perot told Committee investigators that at that time Warner, Perot’s friend, and Warner’s aide (Col. William Leftwich) visited at length about the POW issue. Warner arranged for Perot to talk with Col. Chappie James of the DoD, which in turn led to a meeting with Assistant Secretary of Defense Capen. Eventually, Perot said he talked with Kissinger, who asked him to mount a private effort to assist American prisoners. The objective was to embarrass the North Vietnamese into improving treatment of American prisoners to improve their chance of surviving. Col. Alexander Haig was Perot’s liaison with the NSC, he said.
Perot said he responded vigorously to the White House request, launching a spectacular mission that Christmas. A chartered plane was loaded with carefully designed packages for each prisoner — even for the missing so as to avoid the appearance of having decided their fate, no matter how strong the evidence of death. At the same time, Perot financed a trip to Paris for POW wives and children, where they appealed directly to the Vietnamese mission there.
At home, Perot founded “United We Stand,” a POW/MIA awareness group with chapters in most states, which coordinated a letter campaign to the Vietnamese mission in Paris. Later, Perot learned from returned prisoners that their treatment did improve in direct correlation with his efforts.
Perot vs. McCain regarding MIAs
http://www.newsweek.com/id/94827
While McCain was languishing as a POW ...
“When McCain’s then-wife Carol was in a serious car accident, McCain’s mother called Perot for help. “She asked me to send my people to Philadelphia to take care of the family,” Perot says. Afterwards, McCain was grateful. “We loved him [Perot] for it,” McCain told me in 2000. Perot doesn’t remember it that way. “After he came home, he walked with a limp, she [Carol McCain] walked with a limp. So he threw her over for a poster girl with big money from Arizona [Cindy McCain, his current wife] and the rest is history.” [snip]
But the root of their discord is MIAs. Perot said, “There’s evidence, evidence, evidence. McCain was adamant about shutting down anything to do with recovering POWs.”

Article: Why Perot Was Right About America’s Missing Soldiers
The Washington Post
July 12, 1992 Author:Jonathan Tombes CopyrightCopyright 2009 The Washington Post.
On April 8, 1987, Ross Perot reported on his nine-month special investigation into the POW/MIA issue in a recently disclosed letter to President Reagan. His first finding: “We left POWs behind at the end of the war in Vietnam.” His second finding: “We knew we were leaving men behind.” His third finding: “The men left behind were held in Laos.”
Throughout Perot’s unconventional presidential campaign, the media has frequently pointed to his involvement in the POW/MIA issue as evidence of an “obsessive” and “conspiratorial” mindset. But this characterization increasingly rings hollow.
