When Arizona's bitter Republican primary election arrives in August, it is likely to be 102 degrees in the shade, of which there is little. It is the kind of weather in which only the hearty and highly motivated venture outdoors -- Gila monsters and Tea Party activists. Which may not be good news for Sen. John McCain, who is generally disliked by the latter.
A recent poll puts McCain just five points ahead of J.D. Hayworth, a former congressman and radio talk show host who aspires to be Arizona's Samuel Adams. McCain operatives dispute that the race is this close, but they cannot dispute that McCain is running in a political environment in which absolutely anything could happen to an incumbent.

Medved is lying through his teeth. He should join ACORN. SEIU wouldn’t take him, as he is too much of a wimp.
The Truth About Hayworth:
After 4 months of listening to lies and misleading innuendo put forth by the incumbent and his minions, its time to look at the questions being parroted by the masses. Some are speaking out of spite knowing that most will not or can’t verify the claims made. The vast majority of Arizonans don’t have a clue what happened 5 or 10 years ago. I intend to debunk some of the disinformation being spewed about. Lets start here-
If JD Hayworth was a good congressman , why was he voted out.? This is an excellent question although a bit rhetorical since the McCain campaign knows all too well what shenanigans were pulled. Also in this field are accusations that CD5 constituents got stuck with their current dem disaster because of Hayworth. Look through the liberal Wikipedia page on Hayworth, McCains talking points can be found there.
Due to the 2000 census, Hayworth’s CD6 was reduced in size 80%. The remaining 20% (now CD5) had a slight majority of MODERATE Republicans, key word being MODERATE. Quote from the Wiki article- “During his first four terms, Hayworth represented a district that took in most of the northeastern portion of the state including Flagstaff. Most of its population was located in the Phoenix suburbs. After the 2000 census his district was renumbered the 5th District and was made a much more compact district centered more in the Phoenix area.”
Hayworth carried this area through the ‘00, ‘02, ‘04 elections. In ‘06 his chances were torpedoed by none other than McCain’s hit man Grant Woods. Woods led a MODERATE republican mutiny by backing Democrat Harry Mitchell. There’s several pages of names endorsing Mitchell at http://commongroundcommonsense.org/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t60520.html
Highlights of the list-
Janet Napolitano Gov
Grant Woods

See anything out of place yet? All these left wing loons backing McCains guy? It gets worse-
Lets pull up some excerpts from the East Valley Tribune-
http://commongroundcommonsense.org/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t58218.html
Woods is quoted as saying- “His rhetoric (Hayworth’s) on immigration, in particular, is hurtful”. (scratches head, how long did murdered rancher Krentz complain about no border security?)
Also in the article is this quote by former mayor Guiliano- “As a moderate Republican, I would rather have a moderate Democrat in office than an extreme far right Republican”.
Well congratulations, you got a mod Dem who sold your keyster right up the socialist river. Speaking of selling , lets look at this gem from Open secrets-
http://opensecrets.org/indexp/summ.php?type=R&cycle=2006
Scroll down the list to Az dist 5. Looks like both parties spent about the same dissing each other, 1/4 mill each. Now note the amount spent FOR each party, R $61,326 D $622,083. Who’s got the political clout to turn off the support?
Lets look at what Harry M has accomplished thanks to the backing of Mr Woods and his master-

You can peruse the entire list at your own leisure
.
Now lets jump up to the present. Why is the McCain/ Woods machine still harassing Hayworth? Could it be that Hayworth represents the extreme far right? No, that can’t be, nobody could be more conservative than John McCain [eyes] .Character matters.
One last item for the night. Talk is that Hayworth’s lawyers have found a way for people to withdraw their signature from another candidates petition.
Why the outrage? I can honestly see people withdrawing their support from McCain for the untruthful garbage he’s spewing state wide. I’ll also add that I was asked to sign a 3rd candidates petition and was told it didn’t matter if I had signed for a previous candidate. Candidate 3 is standing in the shadows and pushing McCain’s agenda against Hayworth. This makes no sense unless he’s shooting for the #2 spot in the primary(LOL) or trying to play spoiler.

“”McCain’s base. “”
EXACTLY.
Giggle. Thank you for the ping, SJB.
McCain is a RINO/Dem hybrid that is really more Democrat. He needs to go.
I sent it to JD’s office, with a suggestion Hayworth use it on McCain. Of course, Hayworth knows it all better than I do, but a reminder never hurts ;-)
“At his best, McCain is precisely what a senator should be — independent, passionate, unawed by power, unmoved by influence.”
That description is laughable, isn’t it?
Reality...
“The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine”Sen. Thad Cochran/a> (R-Miss.), also a senior member of the Appropriations panel, told the Boston Globe recently. “He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me.”

Thanks, AuntB—IMHO, this 2006 survey really needs to be redone! HRC voted the #1 “brainiest” (Frist #2) I’m pretty sure that McJerk could capture a couple of the #1 slots by now...
the only Tea Party candidate with a history of hosting fundraisers in lobbyist Jack Abramoff’s sports skyboxes....been enthusiastic legislative earmarkers, or voted for the Medicare prescription drug benefit, or supported the 2005 highway bill, which included the “bridge to nowhere”?
This is all true. Conservatives Freepers don't care as long as JD hates mexicans.
“This is all true.”
Because you say so, you race baiting traitor?
Prove it, or shut up. Hayworth was cleared!
“J. D. blah, blah,...but it don’t matter ‘cause JD’s gonna keep out those drug dealing, prison overcrowding, emergency room clogging, disease spreading, welfare collecting, job stealing sub-human mexicans.”
For many years you’ve been pulling your race baiting BS. You’ve always opposed ANYONE who won’t coddle an illegal alien...and it isn’t OUR fault that most of ‘em are Mexican...that’s THEIR fault, and yours for fighting conservatives over just about everything, especially those of us opposing amnesty. Aren’t ya gettin’ tired of it? I sure am. What a shame that tactic, JUST like the left/WHite house race baiting, is allowed here. Most of the squatter support squad has been purged out of here long ago. But you stay quiet, like the coward you are, until you can jump in and insult, bait, and lie about anything you can.
Because of people like you, Once-Ler, FR is again reduced to the level of DU. But divide and conquer is what it’s all about for you.
Yeah, I’m a bigot. I HATE trouble makers like you who have no problem destroying the sovereignty of my country over RACE and illegal aliens. YOU are the only one who is or has used disparaging remarks against Mexicans. YOU SUCK.
Post some substantiation for your accusations against Hayworth or shut up with your ‘opinion’. Yes, he admitted he used a sports box... SO WHAT??? THEY all do! There was NO quid pro quo! McCain gambles at Indian casinos he approved in his senate committee...for free and gives them a loop hole as big as Bull Run in his CFR! Talk about a ‘race’ being used...NO one has used a race like McCAin has used the Indians and has been using Mexicans with his pandering nonsense.
ILLEGAL ALIEN IS NOT A RACE, IT’S A CRIME!
Yes, AuntB has become a Prejudiced Bigot!
http://towncriernews.blogspot.com/2009/07/yes-thetowncrier-has-become-prejudiced.html
“Excellent post to Once-Ler, a longtime apologist/enabler for the pro-illegal alien crowd.”
Exactly.
“Hayworth is a moron... I will be embarrassed if he wins...”
He would wipe the floor with you in a debate, blah blah.
Wow. Calling your fellow FReepers racist...that's a new low. Shucks, it's almost as bad as telling La Raza that you're "gonna shut the bigots up."
