Presidential nominee in 2008 faces GOP primary fight.
BY JOSEPH WEBER
Former Rep. J.D. Hayworth, Arizona Republican, said in an interview Monday that his planned primary challenge to Sen. John McCain will portray the four-term incumbent as a not-so-conservative Republican who has "enabled" President Obama and his failed economic and security policies.
"I'm giving Arizona Republicans a clear choice between a consistent, common-sense conservative . . . or someone who describes himself as a maverick but is a moderate," the outspoken Mr. Hayworth told The Washington Times' "America's Morning News" radio show.
Mr. Hayworth, 51, quit his job Friday as a conservative radio host -- a show he has broadcast since losing his congressional seat in 2007 -- and said he is preparing to formally announce his run later this week.
While Mr. McCain has led the opposition to the president's health-care reform, Mr. Hayworth said, the party's 2008 presidential nominee has "enabled" Mr. Obama by supporting the $700 billion Wall Street bailout, first passed under President George W. Bush. And Mr. McCain's opposition to using "enhanced interrogation techniques" on suspected terrorist detainees paved the way for Mr. Obama to order the FBI to expand legal rights and protections to suspected terrorists, Mr. Hayworth said.
"We have to live up to the conduct of the signatories of the Geneva Convention, while our Islamic fascist enemy beheads our soldiers, the ultimate torture," Mr. Hayworth said.

Why would I want to be the leader of a party of such a**holes?"

no problems with it, in their views and their philosophy."

"I have to tell you, [Obama] is a decent person, a person that you
do not have to be scared [of] as president of the United States."

Woo hoo!! Go JD!!
This Hayworth guy is a breath of fresh air. Maybe he can keep McCain from doing something really stupid like helping bammy govern?
GO JD GO!
Boo yeah!
Now that is a “right” hook.
Sweet!
Where do I send my money?
Go get um Hoss!
Do you remember he was actually leading BO in the polls for several short days after putting Sarah on the ticket? Then he muzzled her, kissed up to BO and rushed back to Washington to vote for Hank Paulson's TARP, which BO was allowed to vote "present" on.
He never even came close to regaining the lead thereafter.
McCain is a target-rich environment. Just the fact that, this week, the Supreme Court bombed his campaign finance brainchild should be enough to show he’s little more than an incumbent careerist willing to pass anything designed to keep him and his Senate pals in office.
But, as Andrew McCarthy pointed out in an interview with Front Page Magazine, McCain trashed W as a lawless torturer, and directly paved the way, through his law on torture, for treating terrorists as criminal defendants today. This means that, thanks directly to McCain, we now have a national security policy of waiting until the crime is committed to mobilize and...investigate.
Thanks, John.
He needs 10 million to effectively fight McCain, the pro- amnesty Chamber of Commerce, and the RINO higher ups in the RNC.
WHO DAT!
McCain: Americans' won't work for as little as $50/hour picking lettuce (April 4, 2006)
Juan McCain to U.S. citizens and lawful residents:
"You can't do it, my friends."
F U JM!
J.D. HAYWORTH '10
Blast from the past, words from J.D. Hayworth:
“When you see the Mexican flags and other flags - rather than American flags - being hoisted at these demonstrations, you essentially are getting this message: ‘Yes, we are here illegally. No, we do not believe this to be your country. We do not believe in your laws . . . and we don’t believe you’re going to do anything about it.’” - Rep. J.D. Hayworth (AZ-R) -
However, Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ) has taken the lead in the fight to stop the U.S.-Mexico totalization agreement from taking effect. (Trying to stop giving illegal aliens social security benefits) He has introduced H. Res. 20, a resolution of disapproval in the House.
REP. J.D. HAYWORTH, (R) ARIZONA: If there are so-called good people overstaying their visas, there are really bad people too. And more than just your garden variety of criminal, probably in that group, sad to say, are those folks who belong to terrorist cells who mean to do us harm.

Enabler. Perfect description. Out with McClame.
As far as I’m concerned, there is no more important race in 2010.
Stop Queeg.
