PHOENIX, AZ – U.S. Senator John McCain’s re-election campaign today issued the following statement from campaign Communications Director Brian Rogers on former Congressman J.D. Hayworth entering the Republican primary this morning:
“Senator John McCain has full confidence that the people of Arizona will again return him to the U.S. Senate this year and will work hard to earn their continued support. Senator McCain understands that to earn the votes of hardworking Arizonans, you first have to respect them by telling the truth. Former Congressman Hayworth obviously disagrees, and it was sad to see him use blatant lies and fabrications to attack Senator McCain when he ‘officially’ entered the race for U.S. Senate today. Some examples:
“Mr. Hayworth falsely said today that Senator McCain supported the Obama budget when in fact Senator McCain not only opposed the Obama budget, but offered an alternative for the Republicans focused on pro-growth economic policies, eliminating wasteful pork barrel spending and help for small businesses.
“Mr. Hayworth falsely said today that Senator McCain supported banking legislation with earmarks when in fact the bill that Senator McCain voted for included no earmarks whatsoever, and unlike Mr. Hayworth, Senator McCain has never sought a pork barrel earmark and led the fight to ban the practice.
“Mr. Hayworth falsely said today that Senator McCain supports amnesty when in fact Senator McCain has never supported amnesty, and continues to fight every day to secure our borders first and find solutions to solve our immigration problem.
“Mr. Hayworth falsely said today that Senator McCain was on the ‘liberals’ side on some of the most important issues of the day,’ apparently forgetting Senator McCain’s courageous fight for the successful Iraq surge, his lead role opposing President Obama’s failed stimulus plan and attempted government takeover of our health care system, and his longstanding fight against wasteful spending – regardless of which party is in leadership.
“One would think that when asking Arizonans to entrust him to represent them in the U.S. Senate, Mr. Hayworth would have the decency to at least respect them enough to tell the truth. Instead, Mr. Hayworth has started his campaign with a litany of lies. Sorry J.D., the people of Arizona aren’t stupid. They’re on to you.
“Mr. Hayworth has obviously resorted to lies and distortion today because he has no record of his own to stand on. We look forward to reminding Arizona voters about Mr. Hayworth’s real record of liberal big government spending and ethically questionable conduct, including:
“Mr. Hayworth voted for the 2005 Highway Bill that included 6,500 pork barrel earmarks totaling more than $24 billion — including $200 million for the infamous ‘Bridge to Nowhere.’ Senator McCain opposed that obscene spending bill, has never sought an earmark and sponsored legislation to kill the ‘Bridge to Nowhere.’
“Mr. Hayworth voted for the Prescription Drug Benefit that added a huge new entitlement to Medicare and left American taxpayers with trillions in unfunded liabilities. Senator McCain led the charge against it.
“Mr. Hayworth was the largest recipient of campaign contributions tied to the corrupt lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Senator McCain led the investigation that exposed Abramoff’s corruption.
“Mr. Hayworth today promised to serve only two terms if elected, but he made — and broke — a similar pledge when he first ran for Congress, so why would anyone believe him now?
“The fact is, the people of Arizona rejected Mr. Hayworth’s ‘undistinguished’ record when they resoundingly voted him out of his solidly Republican U.S. House seat in 2006.
“Senator McCain looks forward to discussing Mr. Hayworth’s record as well as his own positive vision for a stronger, safer, and more prosperous America.”

bump
go jd go!!!!!!!!!
Juan, just retire, you stupid POS traitor.
JM, You are The reason For This Mess.
You and Your RINOS!
I Can See a Common Thread That Runs Thru Every Current Problem.
That Thread is Unchecked Illegal Immigration.
John McCain , You Are A DisGrace To This Nation!
I Understand the Kudo’s but Frankly, it is Time these ‘Turncoats’ are ‘Tarred and Feathered’
This Nation Will Not Survive These Bastards !
It’s the only time I wished I lived in AZ, so I could vote for J D !
Why would an educated person talk like a 1960’s hippie? Not appropriate for a Senators daughter....
If you’re saying I’m putting words into this RINO’s mouth, you’ve obviously never heard her speak.
As to why she talks that way, you’d have to ask her but my guess is arrested intellectual development.
NO, that is not what I meant, and I know she speaks this way, but for the life of me I can’t understand why she talks like a drugged up hippie. It is not the appropriate way an educated daughter of a Senator would normally talk, even if living rebelliously against a parents wishes. It boggles the mind.
Sorry I misunderstood. And I couldn’t agree more.
My money’s on arrested intellectual development which, in turn, has made her a willing tool of the progressives.
What a twit!
It seems to me Hannity is in the tank for McLame. I thought he like JD. He was defending JM with Joe the Plummer tonight. Levin had JD and ripped those who are not supporting him, Hey Mark what about Sean?
The Hayworth-McCain race is really letting you see who puts the GOP elites ahead of grassroots conservative America.
At this point Hannity and Palin have sided with McCain and the GOP RINOs over Hayworth and grassroots conservatives in Arizona. As long as RINOs and their flunkies hold power we will continue to be flooded with illegals and amnesty will be forced on us.

Yesterday Glenn Beck kept saying he doesn’t know who J.D. Hayworth is or anything about him, but his sidekick kept throwing in little barbs of untruth anyway. If Beck doesn’t know J.D. he is NOT paying attention and knows little about the last few years immigration debate. I’ve emailed him and hope others do.
“Yesterday Glenn Beck kept saying he doesn’t know who J.D. Hayworth is or anything about him”
Then Beck should shut his piehole, and do some due diligence.
I will e mail him too.
“At this point Hannity and Palin have sided with McCain and the GOP RINOs over Hayworth and grassroots conservatives in Arizona.”
Hannity is nothing but a GOP hack.
JD needs to hang that quote around Stain's head like a millstone.
“JM, You are The reason For This Mess.
You and Your RINOS!
I Can See a Common Thread That Runs Thru Every Current Problem.
That Thread is Unchecked Illegal Immigration.
John McCain , You Are A DisGrace To This Nation!”
Worth repeating!
It appears that way, but he's claims he's not; He claims he's a "conservative."
I wish I knew what Hannity truly thinks and who he supports - not his radio/FOX persona.
Wow, really?
