I hope he gets some high profile endorsements - it is gonna be tough having Palin and Brown on the other side.
McCain has been running snide, obnoxious radio ads denigrating Hayworth for the past couple weeks.
I hope Hayworth returns the favor and come out strongly against Juan.
I think this will be an exercise in futility for JD Hayworth. If he loses this primary, he is probably done with any elected office.
McCain, you are so done.
No kidding, it damn sure is.

Kennedy-McCain Amnesty Plan Falls Flat
Christopher Ruddy
Thursday, Jan. 25, 2007
Legislation now being drafted by lawmakers — primarily Sens. Ted Kennedy and John McCain — would allow millions of illegal immigrants in the United States to apply for citizenship.
Adoption of this measure would be a terrible mistake.
The Senate plans to introduce its immigration bill early this year, with the House considering its version later. President Bush has said he hopes to sign an immigration bill in 2007.
In 2006 the Senate passed a bill that would have required illegal immigrants living in the United States for fewer than five years to return to their native countries for a period of time before applying for legal status.
House Republicans prevented debate of the bill, saying it was an amnesty bill, pure and simple, for lawbreakers. Today, the Kennedy-McCain legislation under consideration would go dramatically further. The new law would allow up to 11 million illegal immigrants now living in the United States to gain citizenship after applying, and without ever returning home first.
Sounds pretty definite. We wasn't that clear on his radio show. I think because of legal threats to Clear Channel from McCain's camp.
Hayworth is doing all of us a great service. By running, he will force McCain to act like a conservative up until the primary election. This means, he won’t be able to organize a “Gang of 14” solution to healthcare, which would just be Obamacare-lite. He won’t be able to join Graham’s traitor team on Cap and Tax. He won’t be able to ‘reach-across-the-aisle’ on Amnesty. If he does, he might lose the primary.
After the 2010 elections, it won’t matter as much, as the Democrats will only have 52-53 seats, not 59. But for the next 6-8 months, the damage McCain could inflict is immense. Now that Obama realizes he can’t pass his socialism strictly with his own Democratic votes, McCain will be the first guy he seeks out. Hayworth will keep him on the reservation, and by the time the primary, it’ll be too late to pass any of this stuff. Good job JD Hayworth, I hope you win, but just by running, we’ve already won.
McCain is latching onto Palin & Brown like a bloated tick - trying to make the tea party movement his own resource. I believe John McCain is an evil two-faced fraud. I know for a fact he has been very bad for our country.
I know Sarah feels a sense of loyalty because McCain picked her for VP - but he picked her for his own selfish needs. She & Brown both need to wake up! It’s politics as usual for Juan & it’s going to taint these two before they even get started.
From what I know of J.D. Hayworth, he is a good conservative & he should be supported against the mavericky Juan McCain IN THE PRIMARIES. NOW! Palin & Brown are going to have to reassess their support of this conniving professional politician, or they may be permanently damaged. McCain is intent on re-election and destroying the tea party movement.
If this guy is a conservative, I hope he GETS MCPAIN OUT.
McPAIN is prat of th eGOP’s problem - RINO.
The best thing that could possibly happen would be that McCain would quit because of his health, or oldness, or whatever, and then Palin would be free to switch to JD without appearing to be frivolous.
Right now, all this infighting and RINOism is just bad medicine.
I hate it.
Can we put the same prayer power behind this situation that we did behind the Massachusetts Election, FReepers?
Where do I send the check?
Sarah and Scott are doing their own thing on this. Sarah is repaying a political debt. I don’t blame her for that. Scott Brown is being a Massachusetts Republican — I don’t expect him to be all that much more Conservative than McCain really — a little, obviously, but not much.
What Conservatives need to remember is WE owe McCain NOTHING — we must stand by principles, not by politicians who will betray us and our principles at the drop of a hat. And McCain has done that routinely for a LONG LONG time.
Go J.D.! I’m behind you because it’s PAST TIME that McCain retired to one of his seven homes in Arizona or elsewhere.
I remember JD was student body president at NCSU when I was a freshman. Would love to see him send Johnny Mac into retirement but its a tough road.
Go away John.
Please, just go away.
