The McCain campaign has been brutally attacking JD Hayworth for appearing in an informercial on how to apply for government grants. Hypocritically, McCain's own Senate website prominently features a lengthy list of government grants to apply for. It is disturbing that due to the $5 million war chest the McCain campaign already had when it came into the Senate race, plus threatening people away who dare to support Hayworth, that the McCain campaign has been able to divert attention in the race to the 1% difference Hayworth shares with Senator Jim DeMint, the most conservative member in all of Congress. JD Hayworth has a 98% lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union over his 12 years in Congress. Whereas the real story is that McCain has an 81% rating which sank to an alltime low of 63% in 2008. JD Hayworth has a higher lifetime rating than around 97% of all members of Congress - yet McCain has been able to divert attention to the 1% part of Hayworth that is not as conservative as DeMint, deflecting attention from the real story - McCain's terrible record. McCain is no conservative, and as Mark Levin pointed out in this article in National Review, he isn't even good on earmarks or spending. Not only did McCain vote for several of the billion dollar bailouts and co-sponsor Cap and Trade legislation, but he regularly earmarks defense jobs for Arizona. Unfortunately, McCain has been able to get several conservative publications to buttress his attacks on Hayworth over the government grant infomercial. Let's hope they apply some fairness and cover McCain's own promotion of free grant money too. Especially if it magically disappears off his site within the next few days. In that case, we've saved copies here.

Whatever McCain’s faults, Hayworth is NOT worthy of votes in comparison.
Wonder how many of those govt giveaway goodies McCain voted for?
And yet another full blooming idiot chimes in.
that REALLY pissed me off yesterday.
JD may not be perfect, but any bum off the street would be better than McCain. JD is a colossal improvement over the aisle crosser.
McCain is a lying scum bucket, a backstabber, a hypocrite and a liberal on most issues. How could he be any worse?
Way to misunderstand the issue.
If the poster believes that FR is a good place to find undecided voters, it makes sense to post it.
Otherwise it is not the most productive activity.
Not sure your view of McCain is entirely accurate, but I'll just say that Hayworth discredits conservatism.
I recommend paying particular attention to the articles that describe McCain's numerous betrayals of servicemen and women like his abandonment of POWs in Vietnam.

Stifling the www? Online Freedom of Speech Act (H.R. 1606)
"1606 is needed because federal courts have ordered the Federal Election Commission to regulate "electioneering communications" on the Internet because of the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act (McCain-Feingold). If H.R. 1606 fails to become law, your Web site or blog could be shut down for the 30 days prior to a primary election and the 60 days prior to a general election should you express "electioneering communications."
