Hayworth: McCain flip-flops on immigration

The current debate in Arizona over illegal immigration, fueled by a new law that will make it a crime to be an illegal immigrant in the state, will propel the drive to unseat long-time senator and former presidential candidate John McCain, his Republican primary challenger predicted on Monday.

J.D. Hayworth, who plans to submit a petition with 11,000 signatures later on Monday to get his name on the ballot for the Aug. 24 Republican primary for the Arizona Senate seat, said "the momentum is on my side."

"Arizonans are telling John McCain, 'Thank you for your service, but it is time to come back home,'" Mr. Hayworth told The Washington Times' "America's Morning News" radio show.

Mr. Hayworth said there is an anti-incumbent movement sweeping the country ahead of this year's midterm elections, and he hopes to gain from it.

"People are involved, they are awakened, and they want a consistent conservative in the U.S. Senate," he said.

Recent polls show Mr. Hayworth narrowing the gap with Mr. McCain. A Rasmussen poll released April 16 showed Mr. McCain's support in the primary race at 47 percent, against Mr. Hayworth's 42 percent. In January, Mr. McCain had 53 percent support to Mr. Hayworth's 31 percent.

Mr. Hayworth, who served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1995 to 2007, said Mr. McCain "has gone through a lot of campaign-year conversions," especially on the issue of illegal immigration, and the people of the state are now looking for "the right kind of change."

You guys were visionaries to focus on borders and this primary. Right place. Right issue. Right time.

Please FRiend. Give her a little time in the sun. Last night, Mark Levin asked his listeners to send Brewer messages of support on immigration. This is a nationalized fight. Levin, BTW, is one of the few top radio hosts to publicly endorse Hayworth. I believe he was also the first, and for all I know, the only one.

Spot-on!

John, as a patriot, it is time for you to retire. Your job is done.

If you lose, which appears highly likely, we do not want the witness your bitterness. Go out gracefully, on your own, without making the voters reject you AGAIN.

“Levin, BTW, is one of the few top radio hosts to publicly endorse Hayworth. I believe he was also the first, and for all I know, the only one.”

Actually Hayworth also has the endorsement of Rusty Humphries, Roger Hedgecock, and Terry Anderson.

J. D. Hayworth is guest on Terry Anderson Show Tonight!

“Brewer is actually a RINO who is signing everything put in front of her by a Republican legislature because she is running for re-election. She’s trying to pass a tax increase in a recession. Definitely a RINO.”

Brewer is asking for a temporary sales tax increase. We’re broke, we have no other choice and btw; Reagan raised taxes 3 times.
