U.S. Sen. John McCain has picked up the endorsement of former actor and Sen. Fred Thompson while opponent J.D. Hayworth gets ready for an event with Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas and State Sen. Russell Pearce.
Hayworth and McCain, seeking a fifth term, are battling in the Republican Senate primary this year.
Thompson a former senator from Tennessee and actor on the Law & Order television show announced his endorsement Wednesday. McCain and Thompson both ran for president in 2008.
Im for John McCain. I hope he gets re-elected. Ill help him get re-elected if I can. Its more important for me, and I believe for the country, to have McCains leadership and the respect that he brings to bear on an issue. When he takes the floor on a national security matter. When he takes the floor and leads the intellectual effort the for the surge. When, without his efforts, I dont think we would have ever had a surge and therefore we would never have had a victory in Iraq, Thompson said.
Hayworth, Thomas and Pearce will appear together Feb. 24 in Tempe. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio also backs Hayworth over long-time foe McCain.

Wow, Fred is a Gov.bot too! I send RNC begging letters back with majic marker saying “No Communist Lites! As long as you don’t bash Collins, Snowe, McCain with a baseball bat and refuse to fund these socialists I won’t give you another dime.” I gave that SOB Fred a donation too. I feel cheated!

Well, all the RINO’s are scurrying about in McShame’s light. Sarah had to pay back a favor (for bringing her to national attention.) Fred has no excuse. Think this will help your book sales, Freddy?

I hope all the people that have trashed Sarah for endorsing McIdiot are going to trash Fred in the same manner, at least Sarah has the excuse the she owes him a favor, Fred owes him nothing.

You can take the Senator out of the Senate, but you can't take the Senate out of the Senator.
I expected nothing else.

Fred, I donated to you, man. What in the HECK are you doing? Well well well.
The mask removed.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

I supported Fred when he was running in the primary. His one major weakness was that he had a long-running friendship with McCain. I guess that’s still the case. Disappointing.
