Is It Time for ‘The Senator From the Media’ to Go? (McCain)

No matter what you think of J.D. Hayworth — former Congressman, talk-show host, anti-illegal immigration hardliner and Abramoff-scarred beneficiary — one thing you’ve got to like about him is that he is mounting a primary challenge to Sen. John McCain (R, Media) in Arizona.

That would be the head RINO-in-chief and First Amendment enemy — RIP, McCain/Feingold! — who threw the election to Barack Obama in 2008 by taking everything that was interesting and/or objectionable about the former Barry Soetoro — his past, his associates, even his name — off the table and thus gave himself exactly zero chance to win. Contrary to the lefty media spin that Sarah Palin cost McCain the election, she was the only thing that stood between him and an historic, McGovern/Mondale-style wipeout.

It was as if he wanted to lose, or something.

Yeah, he served our country but does that give him the right to turn around and stab our country and our Constitution and get paid to do it?

JD - read him the riot act and send him packing! And THANK YOU Arizona voters - make the country proud!

The more I read about Hayworth the more I like him. They have told us there is going to be a big push for amnesty. WE need someone to push back.

I firmly believe that McCain didn’t plan on winning and that when he nearly DID because of Sarah Palin, he panicked.

I'm shutting down my campaign for this crises (and voting for the bailout which assurred his loss).

That more reason why this vote is crucial and why they are going to beat up on him. I pray the majority AZ voters are behind JD.

Agree, remember Scott Brown is helping Mccain also. Wonder who the tea-party is backing. They helped fund Brown.

I do believe it is JD. McCain asked Scott while he was running - hoping that he’d win. McCain loves to hang onto ‘stars; - he thinks it give him credibility. The fact that he needs them - says alot. I’m sure McCain would love to take Scott under his wing like he has w/his little puppet, Lindsey. Anything to screw w/conservatism makes McCain happy.

They helped fund Brown.

Americans throughout the country helped Brown.

The Tea Pary Express gave a large amount of money and ran adds for Brown. This is from their web site. :

About Scott Brown Campaign: Shhh!!! A secret we can now share with you all!

Over the past several days as the U.S. Senate race in Massachusetts heated up, the available "inventory" of advertising spots to buy from the TV networks dried up.

And then disappeared entirely.

On cable we here at the Tea Party Express were not able to purchase any additional local spots. Zero. None. Nada.

Before the TV stations ran out of spots they were jacking their rates ever higher and higher. The cost for TV ads in the state skyrocketed to the point of costing around the same price as NATIONAL TV Ads.

And then it hit us: why not go and buy our spots on the NATIONAL cable networks. If they are going to cost almost as much, and if we can go buy ads that will run in Massachusetts (but that Martha Coakley's campaign had not thought to buy) - then it's a fantastic opportunity for us!
