Earlier today, Senators John McCain and Jon Kyl released a 10-point plan to combat crime along the U.S./Mexico border, which -- among other things -- includes hiring 3,000 more Customs and Border Protection agents for Arizona, building new fences along the state's southern border, and increasing aerial surveillance.
McCain's opponent in the GOP primary for Senate, former Congressman J.D. Hayworth, feels that McCain is just another Johnny-come-lately in the fight to secure the border and calls McCain's plan an "election year gimmick."
A few months ago, Hayworth barged into McCain's campaign headquarters, with the media in tote, to challenge McCain to a series of debates -- on a day he knew McCain wouldn't even be there -- so he may want to be a little more careful in his use of the word "gimmick."
"Five years ago, I introduced the 'Enforcement First Act' in the U.S. House of Representatives," Hayworth says. "Had McCain supported my efforts in 2005 to secure the U.S. border, rather than stubbornly support amnesty, we would not be trying to apply quick fixes today."

Hayworth is right.
100% in this instance.
McLame has got to go! If not, he’ll be reaching right back across the isle to the Statists and the border will still be wide open.
McCain Conservative creep every re-election cycle. McCain needs to retire asap.

Campaign conversion caca
If only we could undo *The Great Compromise* through the senate *reconciliation* process that just gave us Obamacare and go back to a representative republic...never mind, not going to happen. /s
We don’t need no stinkin’ fence. A bunch of 50 cals. with interlocking zones of fire would be a hell of a lot more effective than a fence.
McAmnesty.
McCain is not even a RINO. He is a Democrat mole on Soros payroll along with Lindsay Graham-nesty.
AZ get rid of the RINO/Dem hybrid.
McCain’s McCain-Feingold gave the Dems and Obama control of America. This is McCain’s legacy - McCain-Feingold.
Ping!
We got used to Arlen Specter doing this every six years for the primary.
Send McCain packing.

McCain is never in his headquarters, as a matter of fact, he's only in Arizona during a campaign season. If JD had to go to where McCain is he would have to check out every TV studio from here to NYC.
