Alternate headline: McCain rival maybe a little too maverick-y. John McCormacks touting this as a potential campaign-ender, but is it really? Its FUBAR, sure, but hasnt JD already been thoroughly kookified by McCains attack ads, including one describing him as among the very dumbest members of Congress? Crankishness was priced into the value of his political stock long ago. Besides, most of the people who are still with him at this point are surely diehard McCain-haters, prone to shiver at the mere mention of the word Maverick.
Hayworth could don a Lesko jacket and jaunty Willy Wonka top hat and start spinning like Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music shouting freeee moneeey and that crowd would still vote for him.
Hell dip a few points in the polls and almost certainly lose to McCain in August, but reports of his political death are, I suspect, greatly exaggerated. As for the fact that the self-styled tea-party candidate is caught on camera here encouraging federal handouts, I dont see that as fatal either. Remember, according to that NYT poll of tea partiers back in April, 62 percent think the benefits of social security and Medicare outweigh the costs. They may hate government handouts in the abstract, and they may bristle at the prospect of diverting more taxpayer money to failing corporations in the form of bailouts, but when it comes to the working joe getting a little out of the system hes been paying into his whole life, they seem reasonably serene. Exit question: On a scale from one to 10, how much damage is done here?
Anyone but McCain.
>> On a scale from one to 10, how much damage is done here?
To a GENUINE fiscal conservative like me?
10. To the 10th power.
To those who’ll make excuses and disbelieve their own lyin’ eyes, maybe not so much.
Just proves that politicians are filthy dirty lowlife self serving bastards. All of ‘em. Well, OK, 99.999 percent of them.
“pseudoconservative” JD Hayworth included. (McCain already was in my book.)

Amazing how McCain can find ‘dirt’ on Hayworth, but couldn’t find any on Obama!
Wow. Thanks!
” To: SoCalPol
OMG...you really are a mccain girl!
storm front type...good grief. Im not fond of Simcox, but that is just a damn lie. But lies is the only way McCain and his people EVER get elected.

SoCalPol is a BARE-FACED LIAR.
You need another suspension, preferably, a permanent one!
” The first person who was running against McCain early on was a third party person who reg. Republican to run,
Chris Simcox who is now supporting JD Hayworth and who has been advising him.”
ADVISING HIM??
” JD Hayworth accepted Simcoxs endorsement whith his background being common knowledge.
JD Hayworth was late entering the primary because he had to pay back the money to convicted felon Jack Abramoff.
Rep.J.D. Hayworth the largest single recipient of Abramoff related money and co-chairman of the Congressional Native American Caucus, has received more than $150,000 from Indian tribes once represented by Abramoff.”
How many times do we have to read these SoCalPol LIES?
It was bad enough with lies about DeVore , now the Hayworth LIES every couple of days.
At least Hayworth isn’t supported by Soros. McCain is Soros’ hack.
This can be handled by j.d. by saying: “I was wrong. When will McLame admit HE was wrong?”
McCain Has this Government Give ways locked up solid!
Jd will do just fine!!!
” Next time, that zot should be permanent with no parole.”
Agreed!
pretty much proves my point that there isn’t much difference between JD and McCain they both are beltway GOPers. Seems that Palin’s endorsement of McCain is not the body blow to “real” conservatives that some idiots on FR seem to want to make it.
explain to me again how JD and McCain are not beltway GOPers that spend our money like drunken sailors?
Isn’t it amazing how McCain found this........... and missed the video of Obama saying he was going to kill coal mining in the USA and by necessity our utility bills would have to rise?
JD is a slime bucket. But McCain is a bigger slime bucket!
You Arizonans have my sympathy and good wishes. Try to decide who is the better candidate and do your duty. Nobody promised you a Rose garden.
JD AND McCain are beltway hacks that have blown taxpayer money on anything and everything over the last 16 years. The fact that McCain is a bigger idiot than JD does not mean JD is a “real” conservative. You want to split hairs when both are responsible for setting fires to the burn down the barn. True McCain set a bonfire and JD only set a fire in the loft but the end result is the same. Both barns burned to the ground.
any man that had the power to stop medicare part D like JD did had (it passed 216-215)and failed to do so can not now nor ever after be called a fiscal conservative. Just like Paul Ryan voting for Tarp, the auto bailouts and stimulus is not a fiscal conservative.
electing JD will be like electing a younger version of McCain. At least with McCain his age tells you he won't be around much longer. JD will be with you AZ voters for the next 40 years, spending our tax money like his personal piggy banklike he did from 1994-2006. The fact that your hate for McCain blinds you to the real JD is your problem not mine. I see they are both two peas in the same pod.
