Hayworth Concedes Election Defeat
Phoenix Business Journal ^ | November 14, 2006

Posted on 11/14/2006 4:07:57 PM PST by Dane

Scottsdale Congressman J.D. Hayworth late Tuesday conceded defeat to former Tempe mayor Harry Mitchell in their contentious Arizona congressional contest.

Mitchell, a Democrat, led Hayworth on election night but the Republican refused to concede until more early and provisional ballots were counted.

Hayworth said in a statement Tuesday that it appeared he would not overtake Mitchell for the U.S. House seat representing Tempe, Scottsdale and Ahwatukee.

The Arizona contest was an especially negative and bitter one, centering around ethics accusations, border security and the Iraq war.

Mitchell's victory in a Republican-oriented suburban district was part of national tide for Democrats and the seat is expected be hotly contested in 2008.

Hayworth, a former sports broadcaster, could return to the media as a political pundit or talk show host

How dishonest of you...I show or feel zero glee about this election.

"Another border zealot bites the dust" is certainly a strange way to express your disappointment.

Do you know when Hayworth started to talk tough on immigration? I think it was too late when he finally joined forces with the citizens he was representing.

I know positively that the repubs were responsible for Randy Graf not winning. What they did to him shouldn't have been done to a dog. And come to think of it,it wouldn't have been done to a dog,too many PETA folks out here.

Im upset that a Republican lost. Im upset that Chafee lost too and he shares your position on illegal immigration.

"Another Border Blowhard bites the dust."

Pretend all you want but everyone who reads the above and notices your choice of words can tell that you are glad that this Republican lost.

...and, unfortunately, his addiction to massive spending, his failure to appoint a conservative judiciary, his insistence on fighting a politically correct war...

You're still wrong, Karnak.
I am not glad that Border Blowhards give the Republican Party a bad name.
The Buchanan/Tancredo wing only help their own bank accounts and democrats.
Quit being a tool.

It is isn't it.

But totally within character.

"It's reality;deal with it"

Amen, and preach it over and over. Unfortunately,national sovereignty means nothing to those who would be kings--except a larger kingdom.

bump to the top—

I’m on a personal campaign to get FReepers to revisit the issue of “immigration enforcement is a losing issue” canard that we had to endure after the defeats in 06.

I’m suggesting that some of these defeats were engineered by the Bush-controlled RNC for the purpose of advancing Bush’s Amnesty Legacy.

To be frank, I believe that not only have we been sold out as conservatives, but sold out as Republicans.

Here’s the strategy—field a pro-Amnesty primary contender to drain the Repub of funds, then refuse him any help from the RNC if he makes it to the general election. A Democrat is elected, and the president has a “Congress he can work with.”

We really, really need a conservative voice on the RNC.
