Hayworth is toast on his way to being a punchline, and this was predictable. McCain could have been taken but assuming they actually wanted to win, how the opposition settled on Hayworth is inexplicable.

“He may not be Marco Rubio, but he’s not Arlen Specter either,” the editorial said of McCain.

Now that's damning with faint praise!

This was the deal breaker:
.....a 2007 infomercial urging people to take advantage of “free money” from government grants.
Why did J.D. ever do that? Must have needed the money.

The infomercial for the National Grants Conferences has been the most damning revelation yet, combining the promotion of government spending with a host of informercial stereotypes. It prompted the popular FOX News personality Glenn Beck to declare that Hayworth’s campaign is over.

Over? It ain't over yet! I don't care what National Review and the NRA say.

Labrador backes Hayworth,

Raul Labrador is an immigration attorney who is also a seated Idaho State Representative.

He represents illegals in court to stop their deportation. He even represented an admitted human smuggler, who after serving his time in an Idaho prison, was slated for deportation.

If the other content in the posted edition of Az Capitol Times is any clue - I'd guess this is a natural McCain leaning publication.

Meaning it is still stuck in the RNC / old school / good old boy / entitled to the job rut.

It's hard to believe that Arizona would remain so x&%@ki*g stupid as to elect Don Juan again.

McCain has focused Hayworth’s reputation in Congress as a pork-barrel spender,

Yup, and I can't recall what it was, but he ticked me off several times over the years. But not as bad as McCain.

Hayworth chose himself, because Shadegg chose not to run. McCain effectively uses his on-again off-again love dance with the media to blacken Hayworth’s image, with the help of the Democrats’ past demonization of anyone linked with Abramoff. McCain’s constant flitation with doomed and failed Democrat policy gets overlooked right now. JD can come back, if he goes for the jugular, which I predict he probably won’t, as he has more class and less bile in his belly than McCain does, and he had grown up politically and philosophically... in ways McCain never will.

J.D. made some stupid decisions over advertising to boost his career, and we get stuck with an uncouth idiot like McCain again. Please Arizona, give us a break. If you don’t like J.D., get someone better in six years. McCain is just chasing the cameras to the next presidential election. He is determined to screw us over again.

This poll is of ARIZONA republicans. They know that Hayworth has too much baggage and would be an easy target for attacks.

It's just a damn shame no one stepped up with a better history to get rid of McLame for the rest of the country. If I was from Arizona, I'd have a hard time voting FOR Hayworth. My choices would be about who I would vote against. Right now I guess I'd punch the box next to Hayworth, but it really would be with one hand holding my nose.

The official position of FR AND it’s Founder Jim Robinson is that J.D. Hayworth is the REAL conservative candidate, John McCain is an effin’ traitor, and anyone who isn’t willing to stand up against 6 more years of America being screwed by McStain and his cronies with their 0bama-enabling statist policies should GTF outta here.

It ain’t over until it’s over, RINO apologists, weak sisters and McCainiac trolls not withstanding.

It was McCain, either directly or tacitly, cutting a deal with Obama’s supporters which enabled Obama to run for president. McCain was defended in at least one of the law suits challenging his eligibility by Kirkland and Ellis partner, Christopher Landau. Kirkland and Ellis senior partners sat on Obama’s campaign committee. Kirkland's Landau had his legal assistant, Sarah Herilhy, write a Kent Law Review paper in 2005 assailing the natural born citizen provision of the Constitution. Setting the stage to have McCain provide cover for Obama appears to have been initiated at least three years before the last election.

The movers in the Senate Judiciary Committee, Pat Leahy and Claire McCaskill, sponsored a bill, Senate Res. 511, to create the mis-impression that McCain, because of their pronouncement, was eligible to run for president - that he was a natural born citizen. The resolution was meaningless, and was only created in April of 2008 because McCaskill’s earlier effort. Senate Bill 2678, failed to get anywhere. It was very specifically created to provide cover for McCain. Obama’s principle supporters were all working for McCain. S.2678 was “... a bill to clarify the law and ensure that children born to United States citizens while serving overseas in the military are eligible to become President.” The only ways to modify an article of the Constitution are a Constitutional Convention or an amendment. Every Senator knows that, but most voters sadly don't. The Senate wouldn't play that game. So the February 2008 Bill became the April 2008 Resolution 511. They could safely say that The Maverick was surely a patriot, and the Constitution really should allow McCain to become president. Was the fix in from the beginning? Was McCain a willing participant?

Since McCain was the Republican candidate the Republicans remained silent about Obama’s blatant ineligibility. Obama was so confident that the fix was in that he proclaimed on his own website, fightthesmears.com, that he was born a British subject because his father was a British subject. His defense was very clever. He broadcast his ineligibility, knowing that McCain's candidacy would make all the Republicans complicit. After not objecting they could only maintain their silence and hope the ignorance of citizens would last until they forgot. The full cooperation of the press, with their "birther" campaign, helped considerably.

McCain was the most important component of Obama’s ascendancy to the White House. Without McCain there are legislators who would have asked about Obama’s eligibility, at least demanding a clarification by the Supreme Court. Orrin Hatch had launched an Article II Section 1 Amendment effort in 2003 to try to make a Schwarzenegger run possible. McCain had six congressional hearings about his natural born citizen problem. Some honest Democratic law professors explained why McCain is ineligible - Geoffrey Chin, Steven Tonchin. Why else was Claire McCaskill trying to pass a law proclaiming the children of citizens in the military, born overseas eligible to run for president. They all knew.

McCain is as responsible for what is happening to our country as Obama, perhaps more so. Obama doesn't believe our Constitution is still relevant. McCain claims he does, and is unique in having the standing behind which our courts are now hiding as they protect Obama from having his eligibility examined in the context of what rigor and honesty remains in our judicial system. Whether avarice or a childish feeling of entitlement, McCain has had the power to stop the destruction of our republic. He has shown his character, not just by his running, but by allowing the sham to continue as families bankrupted, jobs continue to disappear, and our military is savaged. We knew who Obama was, we who saw who his associates were. McCain is far the more dangerous because he drapes himself in the trappings of the patriot POW, as he limits our freedom of speech, opens borders, partners with criminals (Keating 5). Not demanding acknowledging Obama's jus sanguinis - citizen parents - violation, a violation he allowed to benefit himself, is almost the definition of sedition.

John McCain swore an oath to obey and defend the Constitution, both as as a Naval Officer and a Senator. He is violating his oath today. He is a disgrace to our country and to the Navy. He holds his office only through the ignorance of his constituents who do not know that the first and last time a statute was attempted to make the children of military born overseas eligible for the presidency was in 1790. The 1790 Nationality Act was not constitutional, and was reversed in 1795. That 1790 act is the core of the argument used by Obama's constitutional law professor, the plagiarist who was protected by Elena Kagen from sanctions by Harvard and possible prosecution, Larry Tribe. Larry and Ted Olson, the Ted Olson trying to overthrow California's referendum affirming marriage between a man and woman, supporting McCain's eligibility. Tribe and Olson are playing cheap political gamesmanship with their presumed knowledge of the Constitution, and their vaunted positions. They are shills for those who "turn to Mao for inspiration."

Many others have attempted to get Article II Section 1 cl. 5 amended, as McCaskill did in February of 2008, but no one has succeeded, perhaps because the protecting the security of our republic is not a privilege of citizenship. No one has a right to rule this country. John Jay, who initiated the requirement that the president and vice president be “born in the country of citizen parents” explained his concerns in the first four Federalist Papers. He was our first Chief Justice. Our third Chief Justice, John Marshall, confirmed the definition, as did two more Chief Justices, Waite and Hughes, along with the author of the 14th Amendment, John Bingham, in his pre-amendment speech to the Joint Session of Congress in 1866.

John McCain, whether or not he defeats J.D. Hayworth, has knowingly subverted the Constitution, and should accordingly be charged with sedition. Until we no longer pretend to be a representative republic, it doesn't matter how many vote for him. We have survived because we are governed by laws rather than clever mandarins or Chicago mobsters. Obama has made no secret of his Czars, never claimed to be a natural born citizen, and surrounded himself with socialists and communists. At least he is honest about the dreams he inherited from his father, the Marxist Muslim seeking to replace Christianity with Islam and Sharia law in Kenya. He counted on our lack of familiarity with our Constitution. He counted on the lack of courage of our legislators (only Congressman Nathan Deal of Georgia had the courage to ask, and almost immediately found himself facing ethics charges, which would have bankrupted him and ended his political life. He resigned to run for Governor)

Barack appears to share his father's dreams, which is exactly why philosophers from Aristotle, Cicero, Leibniz, Grotius, Pufendorf, Wolf, and the editor of the volumes of Law of Nature and of Nations, Emer de Vattel, chosen by Thomas Jefferson as the first text for our first law school at William and Mary in 1779, and the most quoted legal source in U.S. jurisprudence for the next forty years at least. They all counseled that the most pure form of citizenship was found in those “born on the soil of citizen parents.” The phrase has the same meaning, whether referred to a “natural born citizenship,” “native,” “naturale or indigene.”

Hayworth is a real conservative. The McCain political machine with a huge funding advantage has demonized and slandered Hayworth. McCain started campaigning against Hayworth before he was even nominated. This race is far from over. McCain is afraid to debate Hayworth, but he will have to. And that will be the turning point.

McCain couldn't even win 50% of the vote in the AZ 2008 presidential primary--the only top tier candidate of either party who couldn't win his/her home state with 50% or more of the primary vote. The MSM are the ones who helped the GOP settle on Maverick McCain as the 2008 GOP presidential nominee. Now that is really inexplicable how the party maverick who voted against the Bush tax cuts, drilling in ANWR, and supported amnesty, closing Gitmo, and cap and trade could be the nominee.
