Former presidential candidate McCain battling for his political life against GOP conservative
A serious re-election fight wasn't what Republican John McCain expected when he returned to the Senate after losing the presidency.
But the four-term senator is battling for his political life in a race that embodies the volatility of an unpredictable election year. He's facing former Rep. J.D. Hayworth, a fellow Republican pushing him farther to the right as GOP voters demand conservative purity in their candidates and punish those with ties to the Washington establishment.
Two longtime Senate incumbents have fallen

LMAO, it doesn’t matter if you’ve got plenty of points to make. And if you have been paying attention to this thread, you would know that.
So what we have here, is one person completely out of her fricken mind on the subject, and now a person jumping in to act as if this is just politics, really a close call between two sides of well meaning people. As if...

Good for you Borax Queen. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve become a lot more adept at spotting the pretenders.
I get McCain’s war record but McCain-Feingold helped elect the Dem 2006/2008 Congress and Obama. You do understand that you probably have lost your country and what has occurred and will occur is probably not recoverable. The damage O has and will do is catastrophic. This is not like Jimmy Carter.
So anything McCain did in the past is meaningless.
No, it’s idiot sticks like you, that beam with pride at voting for McCain. Here we are again, able to have a better man, and who are you just thrilled to be voting for again?
You never answered my question princess.
Since you’re not a Conservative, what group?
IIRC (don't remember where I saw this) -- John F'ing Kerry also helped betray POWs -- I believe some business concern of a cousin or in-law or some such, is what enticed him to throw Vietnamese POWs under the bus.
Sometimes, btw, I wonder if Kissinger was a Communist mole...his "detente" etc. when we should've kicked the Soviets to the curb 20 years earlier.
Cheers!
Thanks for the link.
The reason I prefer McCain over Hayworth is because of Hayworth. Hayworth is a know it all, arrogant, loudmouth. It has to do with personality since both McCain and Hayworth are similarly rated as equals by many conservative websites.
Go, J.D.!!! Yes, I will send his campaign more money.
” McCain and Hayworth are similarly rated as equals by many conservative websites.”
O’RLY?
MANY conservative websites??
I’ll settle for ONE!!
How long will it take after McCain is re-elected (if he is) for him to go back to his Old Ways?
Yep, make sure you don’t vote for a loudmouth. Horror of horrors...
Look, you can dig around in Hayworth’s past all you like, you won’t find 10% of the crap you will on McCain.
As for Conservative sites, I would remind you what you can find on this forum at times, people willing to vote for a man that agrees with Obama so much so, that he said we had nothing to fear from him being elected president. Do you think we had nothing to fear from voting in Obama as president?
You’re willing to vote for a man with that little insight?
Honestly. And then you come here to take me on because I’m telling it like it is?
” How long will it take after McCain is re-elected (if he is) for him to go back to his Old Ways?”
The same f’ing day!
I liked Pres Obama at first personally even though I didn’t vote for him because he’s a Democrat.
Many people still do like him but now dislike his policies as do I.
McCain was giving Pres. Obama respect cause of the office he holds and so would I.
I think it was this between McCain and Obama; not McCain agreeing with Pres Obama’s political positions.
Boy, Mike, don’t do that!!! A lot of us really like your insight and comments.
The infamous "nothing to fear" quote was made by McCain BEFORE the election.
please provide a link to this “nothing to fear” quote thanks.
Again they both were US Senators together and decorum is expected in their setting.
Sabe@Q, that was a breathtaking response (admission whatever).
My response could be quite reactionary, and I believe it would be so for reasoned cause. I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt (although others will think I’m crazy to do so), and explain to you why I think you were wrong.
Sabe, did it really not bother you that Obama attended a church for twenty years and listened to Reverend Wright slam the U.S. over and over and over again?
Did it not bother you that Obama was a close associate with Bill Ayers and his favorite squeeze, Dorn? (Both known self-professed terrorists)
Did it not bother you, that Obama’s wife was good friends with the wife of Louis Farrakhan?
I could go on, but what’s the point. This guy was from the outset focused on implementing as much anti-U.S. agenda as he possibly could. That agenda will destroy your future, your children’s future, and the future of generations to follow.
Obama is a Fascist. Hitler was a Fascist. Their economic policies are cut from the same cloth.
I get the impression that you still like Obama, even now, despite the policies you can see that are problematic.
And while I’m glad you didn’t vote for him, and you do recognize some of the bad things he is doing and wants to do, I am left shocked that you could like this guy on any level.
Look, I’m trying to keep this devoid of personal attack, and I am doing so because it seems to me you are not as politically savvy as I would like to think.
Later...
Freepers who support Rhino’s.....FRino’s. FRino’s...that’s how we got McCain.
I equate Obama and how he acts to how Hayworth acts.
I think Obama has failed horribly as a leader of this mighty Country. I also think Obama could use some help choosing subordinates in his administration that need to do a better job.
Pres. Bush has those strengths along with great character and that is why I admired him.
McCain even though severals terms in the US Senate needs to do some more growing. I believe he is and is realizing the mistakes he has made. I guess it just goes down to trust that the man actually has changed. I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt this time around. Next time, I may not be so generous.
McLoser is 100% DEMOCRAT. The (R) behind his name means nothing. Two DEMOCRATS gone, JUAN the McDEMOCRAT to get FIRED in August.
Sabe@Q, if you’re McCain and folks bring up some very troubling issues, you don’t totally exonerate the man.
You state that some of his announced goals are very problematic for you too.
Look, McCain didn’t have to egg those folks on, but he should have been frank.
Countless people out there wondering if Obama was a good risk or not, heard McCain give him a complete clean bill of health, politically.
It cause most folks to think that McCain really didn’t care if he won. In fact, as wishy washy as his political career has been, it seemed to me as if he was willing to bow out to see this historic moment come to pass.
Now what? No we’re screwed.
McCain was, is, and always will be a complete buffoon.
