The question is simple for me. What does Hayworth running accomplish? Does it elect a true outsider? No, Hayworth voted for nearly all of Bush's boondongle spending including the Medicare Drug Benefit which is now on track to bankrupt the country. I don't see any evidence that Mr. Hayworth would've bucked Bush and his party and voted against the first Bush stimulus. I do know that John McCain, the pain in the ass he is, voted against it. Hayworth voted blindly with his party. I'm sorry but I don't see resurrecting a 1994 zombie who lost his seat through corrupt ties to lobbyist Jack Abramhoff is the way to go.

Keep trying, genius. Keep the BS coming for McCain.

[rmlew]

Like giving welfare to 13 to 30 million legalized former illegal aliens is free market. Because that is what a vote for McCain will get us. Armey is an open boarders bigot. What’s your delusion?

[chuck_the_tv_out]

So? That's what makes us so much greater than the one-note moral-free, issue-free leftists.

Their "big tent" with its rinos & leftist plants needs burning down, but there are things we can disagree agreeably about.

Personally I don't know enough about Arizonan politics to comment. I hope we get rid of McCain. But I could see him all over the media for years slagging off the Republican party if he lost the nomination. "not the party I knew" etc. Maybe your enemies are better held close. I don't know.

[Mamzelle]

Uh huh. Yeah. Riiiiiight.

At least we know that McCain knows that FR exists.

[rushmom]

Hayworth is definitely more conservative than McCain. If McCain is reelected he will trip over himself running to the other side of the aisle. Go Hayworth.

“Does it elect a true outsider? No, Hayworth voted for nearly all of Bush’s boondongle spending including the Medicare Drug Benefit which is now on track to bankrupt the country.”

All I read is about why we don’t want Mccain.

Why do we WANT Hayworth?

I say move along; there are other candidates, why take someone who has been squishy in some areas to replace someone who has been squishy in others?

[Lucky9teen]

Mickey Mouse could be running against McCain...he’ll still get more votes than McCain will.

[onyx]

Are chickens coming home to roost with a lot of the Bush bashing that goes on here via support of JD Hayworth for his support of President Bush for votes he cast during during President Bush’s administration?

Has anyone claimed that JD Haywoth is a “true outsider”?

Isn’t the claim only that he is a reliable conservative?

One that can be counted on to uphold the Constitution when it comes to so-called “immigration reform”?

[Lloyd227]

Any group that’s supporting that traitorous bastard John McCain is not a legitimate “tea party” group. and that’s all I have to say about that

[Jim Robinson]

Piss on McCain.

[YankeeReb]

Hayworth voted blindly with his party.

If this is true the Tea Party movement is best to stay out of the way.Exchanging one progressive for another is no way to build a movement. Brown's case was unusual, IMO the Tea Partiers should only back someone to make a statement.

[cranked]

So your willing to allow progressives to continue to frak up this country being most of us here know that McCain is a progressive...you know, despite their apparent issue differences, like Jack Squat Barry?

[airborne]

I don't know much about Hayworth. I do know about McCain, and there's a lot I don't like about him.

My question to you is this - Is the ‘Tea Party’ really split on the Hayworth/McCain primary choice? Or is this disinformation designed to split the movement, as the Dems just recently said they would be trying.

Can you provide more evidence than a blog report?

I am highly suspicious.

[NavyCanDo]

Thank God for the Primary process, and that we have a right to support who we feel best represents us. If however McCain comes out on top and wins the nomination I am not going to join those with McCain derangement syndrome and celibrate a democrat taking a seat away from us.

[Eddie01]

Let me be perfectly clear, there is no split.

[MountainWoman]

Maelstrom! Stop spouting LIES!!! I gave you three links in your earlier JD bashing post that proves JD’s innocence in the Abramoff debacle...

You obviously have one mission and that’s to try and smear JD. Enough, already, seriously...WE DON’T WANT MCCAIN.

[SmokingJoe]

Not only did McCain vote against the Bush tax cuts, McCain voted FOR the massive bailouts too.
On top of that we have McCain/Fiengold(most of which the Supreme Court has declared as unconstitutional and struck down), we have McCain/Kennedy amnesty bill(which McCain is still fighting for. McCain is almost certain to vote for the upcoming amnesty bill this year), then we have McCain’s withering attacks on Bush over Guantanamo(McCain insisted that we close Guantanamo), whereby McCain continued to attack America for “torturing” terrorists, and loudly screamed for Geneva Convention rights for terrorists.
Exactly why should any conservative vote for this arrogant, out of touch, clown? Everything must be dome to send this idiot into quick retirement.

[jazusamo]

McCain needs to retire and most here at FR are going to help him do that, Hayworth is a conservative and I’ll support him with a donation.

[frithguild]

Will this issue tear the Tea Party movement apart?

[sasafras]

Its obvious your a McCainiac - you keep posting articles critical of JD. Either you are a plant or a huge RINO. Quit it with the JD bashing - 99% of FR cant stand McCain.
