Video: The lost JD Hayworth infomercial (Aw, crap! Alert - JD on how to get "free" taxpayer money)
Hot Air (and National Review) ^ | 6-21-10 | Allahpundit

Posted on 06/21/2010 2:24:17 PM PDT by TitansAFC

Alternate headline: “McCain rival maybe a little too maverick-y.” John McCormack’s touting this as a potential campaign-ender, but is it really? It’s FUBAR, sure, but hasn’t JD already been thoroughly kookified by McCain’s 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.

He’ll 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 don’t 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 he’s 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?

Wow!

Way to slime!

Quoting disgruntled wives, ex-wives, radical leftist groups like the SLPC. Nice job!

That little Abramoff cherry on top was a nice touch too. You’ll be able to follow up your innuendo with some actual charges against JDH, won’t you?

I thought not.

What a load of crap.

Just maybe some Freepers will cut Palin a little more slack for her character-based endorsement of McCain. (Which yes, still pains me because McCain pains me—but given the choice may have been the right thing.)

.............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,..........

Wonderful news !

:)

Could be—and an annoying one at that. She’s not perfect and as a human being has made and will make other mistakes.

What, you need your big brother to fight your battles? good God man it's like your 5 and not fit to be off your mother's apron strings.

Grow a hide, Clyde. You're just afraid JimRob is going to call you an idiot again. And you are.

What you are conveniently ignoring and failed to address are the issues of McCain's readiness, even eagerness to screw his own party, the American people, and conservatives specifically to advance the 'Rat agenda under the guise of 'bipartisanship'. You ignore his flip-flops and inconsistency on securing our southern border. You ignore his efforts to ram the McCain-Kennedy-GWB amnesty down the throats of the American people. You ignore the fact that McCain has attempted to undermine the First Amendment of our Constitution, which is in direct conflict with his Oath to uphold and defend that Constitution. You ignore McCain's fealty to his former Communist captors, and his eagerness to arrange millions in foreign aid to Hanoi, you ignore McCain's pissing all over POW-MIA families by muzzling attempts to get information out into the public eye regarding their missing family members who may have been held (and could still be held) by the damn Commies. You ignore all of these issues while prattling away on ONE issue and one issue only, the issue of fiscal restraint and federal spending.

Once again, you're a McCainiac troll, you're no conservative and I think you should be banned. You signed up in December 2009, you've been here a little more than 6 months, and as far as I'm concerned you've overextended your welcome with your pro-McCain liberal behavior, irregardless of your lame claims of being 'indifferent' to the Hayworth/McCain contest. You're not indifferent, you are in the tank for McCain, and you are a liar. As I said already, you're no conservative and you have no business on a conservative website.

Did you ever notice how 90% of TROLLS never post anything on their homepage? Not even a state. unseen1 is no exception.

It's time for the unseen nit-wit in this thread to ride the lightning and make that journey to the Tomb of the Unknown Troll.

did you ever notice that little kids include all their buddies in an attack post? Must be hard to be afraid of a little old poster to the extent that you need backup.

ROFL? afraid? thanks needed that laugh. I bring facts to the discussion you bring your classmates.

I am not ignoring McCain's faults. I have stated repeatedly that McCain leaves much to be desired. It is you and your classmates that are ignoring JD’s faults. Just like most of you ignored DeVore’s faults and hunter's faults and every other “real conservative” you and your treehouse gang choose to back.

And when presented with those facts you want to ban people? Yeah you have a real good grasp of the issues of the day. You and your gang give the rest of us conservatives a bad name. You attack anyone that doesn't agree with you 100% and by doing so you help the liberals to destroy the conservative cause in your zest for purity. basically you show many of the characters of a typical bigot/bully. Even now you are too “pure” to understand my posts for the last 2 weeks have not been about JD or McCain. take a guess about what they HAVE been about. thank God most of the posters on Free Republic unlike you enjoy debate.

Maybe you missed it the last 150 times I have stated it but I care nothing for the the battle of the beltway losers McCain vs JD. What I care about is where this country is headed. Let's see a choice between Mr. I hate free speech and like amnesty McCain or Mr. I voted to expand the federal government by $8 trillion medicare part D JD. yeah some choice. Where do I sign up to waste my time for these two losers? Maybe I should send these two losers some of my hard earned money?

As for being new I signed up on May 10, 2005. two years after you but I don't consider 5 years to be new to the neighborhood. Ooops maybe 5 years is not “pure” enough for you.

2.) You are not a conservative.

3.) You are a McCain troll.

4.) You are a liar.

5.) End of story.

Why chastize JD when it’s not only taught in schools but is part of the exam to graduate from high school in Los Angeles.

This election has really separated the solid Conservatives from the milk toast RINOs and their brothers in arms, the dedicated disinformation specialists.

In the future when these liars and shills try to argue policy, I’m going to know exactly where they are coming from.

I’ve been here since early 1998. I’ve never made lists before, and I don’t want to start one now, but it has become necessary to keep tabs of some of the more egregious disinformation or propagandist elements here, for my own edification, if for no one else.

There are some arguments you can’t make if you’re an honest Conservative. Some of these folks make them without batting an eye-lash.

Look, in 2003 we had a difference of opinion whether it was good to back Schwarzenegger against Bustamante, or if we should go with McClintock no matter what. I think there were good arguments to be made either way. Some of the McClintock people disagreed with me, and probably thought I was way off base that year. I can understand that. In the instance of John McCain, there isn’t a prayer of a chance he’s someone we should be supporting over J. D. Hayworth. It’s cut and dried.

So if folks are backing MeCain after his sordid history, your ears need to perk up, and pay close attention.

We aren’t seeing honest differences of opinion here.

We’re seeing downright lies, cover-up, and disinformation.

FUJM to the X, and the same for the crew he has jobbing this forum right now full tilt.

Why don’t you link us to information regarding charges being filed against J. D. Hayworth, when he was convicted of anything, and what the penalty was.

Oh, that’s right. No charges were brought, Hayworth wasn’t convicted of anything, and there was no penalty.

The smearing of Hayworth is not only beneath you, but it’s something that a normal Conservative wouldn’t do when he’s running against the likes of a man that could do all this.
