National Review Endorses McCain in Primary
Newsmax ^ | 6/28/10 | Jim Myers

Posted on 06/28/2010 8:54:21 PM PDT by pissant

Arizona Sen. John McCain’s re-election campaign has gained an important endorsement from an influential conservative publication, National Review.

“This magazine has not always agreed with Sen. John McCain’s judgments,” the endorsement on National Review’s website notes. “But there are three considerations that militate against dumping McCain for his primary challenger, former congressman J.D. Hayworth.”

The first is that McCain has consistently voted on the conservative side on important issues — he has never supported a broad-based tax hike, voted for every conservative Supreme Court nominee, and has a long pro-life record.

Second, McCain has unmatched credibility on national security and demonstrated his leadership by encouraging the “surge” of American forces in Iraq.

Third, McCain has a better record than Hayworth on controlling federal spending. Hayworth in fact appeared in infomercials telling people how to get “free money” from the government, according to National Review, which concludes:

You’re right. AZ Republicans love McCain. I live in Mohave County, and we’re ultra Conservative, so I wouldn’t be surprised if JD wins here. I told him last month that if we got all the people in Mohave to vote, we could sway the election, that’s why he’s coming here a lot.

I was called for a poll tonight concerning the AZ primary.
I gave them an earful.
I am tired of McCain’s “reaching across the aisle” politics. He hs reached too far too many times.

He is so proud of NOT asking for pork for his state. Excuse me! that means AZ doesn’t get a fair share of federal monies for projects that mean jobs and improvements in AZ. Atta boy, John! Let all our tax money go to the other states.....
Our house is voting for JD. He can’t be worse and I think he will represent AZ much better than McCain.

I’m working hard here in AZ, but I have to tell you, there’s not chance JD is going to beat McCain.

People who claim to support JD need to stop nitpicking and joining in with these silly smears from McCain (not talking about you). The list of McCain faults and flip/flops and outright lies is long and long running, and that's what JD supporters should talk about, not this stupid government grant commercial.

But I guess everyone knows Juan agreed to two debates, on consecutive Friday and Saturday nights, I believe July 16 and 17. JD has a mountain of material to work with, and hopefully he will make good use of it in the two debates and TV ads the final several weeks of the campaign. I think the final six or so weeks have always been where JD's best shot was, since he really only has money for a few weeks of intense campaigning.

I think the real dysfunction and questionable entity are the voters of Arizona. I and others have listed the disparate group of politicians they've elected over just the past ten or so years, people at extreme opposite ends of the same issues being elected by the same people.

No mention of McCain being elderly, in near poor health, not mentally with it, a la Specter, and but a term away from being a drooling Robert Byrd?

Or angry, bitter and vindictive. If he gets reelected, watch for him to stick it to conservatives with relish. He will support amnesty and more, partly because he wants to and partly as revenge for his rough primary battle.

Also, JD did the ads as part of his radio show.

Nope it was an infomercial scam.

NRO has some great contributors; and NR’s endorsement carries lots of weight with me. Frankly, from what I have seen of Hayworth on TV, it is hard to see why any one would support him. He seems like a joke. He and Al Franken should get up an act.

What universe do you live in?

Do you not remember him in Congress? He was a border HAWK, unlike the worthless effin POS Amnesty Queen McCain. And he went out and helped sell the Bush tax cuts to America, unlike McCain who opposed them with vitriolic class warfare rhetoric, just like his buddy John Kerry.

Global Warming fraud, Mccain-Feingold, the Border Fence, TARP. There is virtually NOTHING that recommends Mccain over Hayworth.

He seems like a joke.

Do you have any comments on the major issue differences between the two? You support amnesty, support cap and trade, oppose tax cuts, favored the bank bailouts and all the attached earnmarks, favor closing Gitmo, think all enhanced interrogation is torture. Those are just a few of the issues where JD and Juan differ.

And JD is from North Carolina and has naturally folksy and down home speech and mannerism. He's not dumb and he's not a joke. People who think so might need to examine their own prejudice and bias.

National Review has lost all credibility with this endorsement.

NR has obviously been drinking Kennedy liquor.

I saw where the NRA endorsed Fiorina. The RINOs are digging in and the conservative establishment is running scared.

I wouldn’t be surprised if McCain secretly paid Hayworth to run against him.

If you’re interested in your tagline, you should be pushing hard for JD

We are finding out, more and more, that the “conservative media” is not conservative

Supporting McCain over Hayworth is nothing more than being a liberal. A vote for McCain is a vote for Amnesty
