“When the tea partiers take a close look at Mr. Hayworth’s record and see all of his earmarks and all of his ties to Jack Abramoff, they’ll find a record that demands scrutiny,” McCain says. “We have the letters and legislative records to prove it. And we will. At the same time, I’m proud of my record as a conservative and for taking on my party on spending and earmarks. When tea partiers examine my fiscal record, they’ll find a friend. We may have disagreement on some issues, but I’m confident that we will get significant support.” McCain adds that the tea-party movement is “part of a groundswell of frustration” with which he identifies. “A majority of Americans are angry about their economic situation and the failure of Congress and the president to act on their behalf. I want to keep fighting for their interests,” he says.

McCain also frowns on Hayworth’s getting mired in the debate over President Obama’s birth certificate. “With unemployment at 10 percent, our country engaged in two wars, and Arizona hurting more than ever, Mr. Hayworth obviously has his priorities upside down,” McCain says.

To counter Hayworth’s growing support, McCain has enlisted Sen. Scott Brown (R., Mass.) and former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, his running mate during the 2008 presidential campaign, to stump for him in the Grand Canyon State. He would also like to bring in Mitt Romney, his former opponent for the GOP presidential nomination. “I’d really appreciate it if Mitt Romney came,” McCain says. “We’d really like to have him. We haven’t made any specific arrangement yet, but I’d like to see that. He is a man I respect.”

J.D. 2010

[ccruse456]

The Tea Partiers should make a concerted effort to ask candidates (D or R) what the Founding Fathers meant by the term “natural born citizen.” I live in a purple district and I’m determined to get into a campaign rally and ask this queston of both of them.

[hennie pennie]

That pair is a couple creeps, real creeps.

[Jim Robinson]

Rebellion is brewing!!

GO JD!!

[FreeAtlanta]

Retire, John. Retire.

[reaganaut]

These two clowns (Mitt and McLame) deserve each other.

[madison10]

Ick...my enemy’s friends.

[Howie66]

I don’t care who stumps for Juan-Boy.

I’m fully supporting J.D. Hayworth.

McCain needs to go away and STFU.

Uhmmm, does McCain really want to open that can of worms? Didn't he have some ethics problems of his own back in the Savings and Loan Scandal?

Yep!

Big ones, too.

Mitt would do good to NOT campaign for John McInsane.

Sarah, I understand. Not Mitt.

Sure. McCain is all set to reach across the aisle and help Obama fix these problems, just as soon as he can stop pretending to be a conservative.

They'll avoid the question ra^ther than answer.

Palin on the same team with McAmnesty and Romney is only showing she is not the Conservative she professes to be. McAmnesty thinking Hayworth has his priorities upside down shows he is ignorant BO’s/BS’s eligibility is a Constitutional matter or considers the Constitution insignificant.

[SharpRightTurn]

Fantastic.

I hope Romney does campaign for McLame.

McLame needs to be identified by birds of a feather. I think this type of endorsement pushes conservatives away from McLame.

I love Sarah and was disappointed with her decision to campaign for Juan McAmnesty; however, I do understand and hope she slides away from him quickly & quietly after his fund raiser to minimize the RINO stink that emanates from him like a bad case of excess owlgore CO2!

Go JD - send the RINO packing!

[Retired COB]

These two clowns (Mitt and McLame) deserve each other.

Maybe, just maybe, when Juan loses the primary that Mitt will take the hint and figure it out that it's all over for him also. He still believes that it's his turn to be the Republican Presidential Candidate next time out.

It just goes to show that Obama isn't the only person in this world who is delusional.

McQueeg loves AGW and Cap and Tax, amnesty for illegals, screwing with campaign contributions, calling conservatives a**holes, constantly screwing the GOP with his love affair with his ‘friends’ across the aisle. NO THANKS. Get back into the food locker...there are strawberries to inventory.

McCainiac Attack. What Losers!
