J.D. Hayworth is not going to challenge McCain in the primary. In fact, Hayworth endorsed McCain for President in both the 2000 and 2008 primaries. It seems sometimes that I'm the only freeper who noticed that, since his name is continually floated as a potential McCain challenger. Ain't gonna happen.
Endorse Simcox? If I had to choose between the two of them, I'd probably vote for him over McCain, but not until I know where he stands on other issues besides immigration. Any candidate I support will have to be at least as good or superior to McCain on key issues like right to life, traditional families, cutting government waste (one of the few areas where McCain is pretty solid, IMO), lower taxes, gun rights, and of coruse, the WOT -- I certainly won't back any surrender monkey's like the alleged "true conservative" from SC who wanted to sing kumbaya with terrorists. My guess is that Simcox is pretty solid on these issues, but my rule is thumb is always verify first. In any case, the drive-by media will villify Simcox as a hate-filled nut and portray him as a single issue candidate, so it's unlikely he's the one who can take out McCain.
I do think it's somewhat hypocritical of freepers to blast the MoveOn.org crowd in 2006 for "turning on their own party's presidential ticket nominee" and ousting LIEberman in the RAT primary, if we're willing to do the same to McCain in 2010 (though I admit there's a big difference as McCain has never been liked/trusted by conservatives, whereas liberals were happy with LIEberman for years, until he didn't do their bidding on the war issue)

I find his support of John McCain to be disgusting. That being said, I think he would be far better than McCain in Washington, D.C. Still, if he's going to support McCain, then he's damaged goods in my book.

I don't know everything there is to know about Simcox, but I do know quite a bit about McCain, and Simcox would have to work awfully hard full time to be as big a turncoat as McCain. I've studied McCain, and I don't need to study Simcox much to know he's a damned site better than that bitch McCain. And yeah, I mean John. On the border alone, something that is being used to take our nation down, Simcox got it right. Seriously, that's all I need to know.

When it comes to John McCain, there's just one topic on my mind, and that's working my ass off to get him defeated in the primaries of 2010. There isn't a side issue important enough to move me off that goal. John has been in Washington, D.C. since around 1982. He was a Congressman first and now a Senator. Twenty-eight years is a lot of seniority. Even if Simcox was bad in some areas, as a freshman he would not be in a position to do near the harm McCain can and does.
In 2010, my first three operative words are, Adios John McCain.
For those who think there could be something worse than McCain out there, I would remind you that John has at one time or another been on every side of every issue. He talks a good game, then betrays you. If I and others get our way, the only person he'll have a chance to betray after November 2010, is Cindy. I wouldn't wish that on her, but I don't wish it on the nation either, and it comes first.
