First, it was Sarah Palin. Then it was Arizona Right to Life and the National Rifle Association. Most recently, the revered National Review gave its imprimatur to McCain.
When Hayworth entered the race in January, McCain was at his most vulnerable point in decades. Polling showed McCain had a lead within the margin of error and was struggling to redefine himself as a Republican loyalist. But polls now show McCain with a solid lead.
Baker said the McCain campaign may have engineered a sort of domino effect: Each endorsement shows the next group that backing McCain is a safer bet than it may have first appeared, and Republican voters seem to be following the same trend.
McCain has focused Hayworths reputation in Congress as a pork-barrel spender, a serious offense to many conservatives. And the senator has run an undeniably negative campaign against Hayworth, openly mocking him and attacking his credibility.
The McCain campaign has posted videos online poking fun at Hayworth for questioning the authenticity of President Barack Obamas birth certificate, suggesting that allowing gay marriage could pave the way for men to wed horses, and especially for appearing in a 2007 infomercial urging people to take advantage of free money from government grants.
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 Hayworths campaign is over.
If McCain had a more conservative challenger, National Review wrote, the endorsement might have gone elsewhere. But while Hayworths record is conservative, the article read, it isnt conservative enough to make a compelling case against McCain.
He may not be Marco Rubio, but hes not Arlen Specter either, the editorial said of McCain.

Heh-—good one.
Why would someone in politics as long as McCain have to redine himself? I think we all know the answer.
See, I thought after reading this we were supposed to call each other pal, no?
I answered your question in my original post. Only insane people think that Sarah Palin is responsible for Juan Mcdouche.
You and your ping pals can keep trying to push that line of garbage all you want. The rest of us sane people will continue to point out how stupid it is.
Stevie, you know I’m not going anywhere.
” Only insane people think that Sarah Palin is responsible for Juan Mcdouche. “
Then about half the people in Scottsdale, AZ are insane. I find that highly doubtful.
Why do I doubt you? Could it be because you don’t have enough sense to get out of New Jersey?
LOL!
>>>JD needs to shout from the rooftops: “I have a family to support. I needed a paycheck. That’s why I did the infomercial.”
Well that worked for Cher.
I don’t know, AZ has been voting for Johnny McDumbass for years now. Maybe all of AZ is insane?
Hey it’s not easy getting out of NJ in this economy! We got Christie now anyway so things may turn around.
” We got Christie now anyway so things may turn around.”
Yeah, by the time you are 128 years old. How many years of property taxes does it take in New Jersey to pay for your home twice?
yeah I know, wishful thinking on my part,
Honestly we are trying to move to PA, maybe by the end of the year.
Can’t go further because of elderly MIL in Scranton.
Of course I hear a bunch of the illegals running from AZ are headed to PA.
I sometimes wish I had stayed in Colorado, I moved back here 20yrs ago.
If McCain is in such a great spot, one wonders why the ferocity of the campaign against JD is being ramped up.
John McCain has a long time, well known GAMBLING problem! His support and $ come from questionable people with questionable ties.
Mafia ties:
In 1995, McCain sent birthday regards, and regrets for not attending, to Joseph "Joe Bananas" Bonano, the head of the New York Bonano crime family, who had retired to Arizona. Another politician to send regrets was Governor Fife Symington, who has since been kicked out of office and convicted of 7 felonies relating to fraud and extortion.

McCain's mafia ties go back further than that ... all the way back to Cindy McCain's mafia connected dad, who launched McCain's career and put him on the nipple of Charles Keating and friends. Cindy's dad took the fall for the mafia over illegal liqour distribution charges and was rewarded with a beer distributorship when he got out of the clink. Cindy's dad also helped the mob do some dirty business in the New Mexico horse racing market back in the day.

Why did McCain celebrate his birthday on a Mobster's Yacht?
http://www.thenation.com/images/mccain.j
The photograph substantiates reports that in late August, 2006, McCain celebrated his 70th birthday aboard a yacht, the Celine Ashley, rented by A-list con man Raffaello Follieri and his then-movie star girlfriend Anne Hathaway.
Follieri, who posed as Vatican chief financial officer in order to win friends and investments, pleaded guilty Wednesday in a Manhattan district court to conspiracy to commit wire fraud, eight counts of wire fraud and five counts of money laundering.

I do not think Hayworth will win, but it’s far from over. Wait until the debate. This Arizona publication would love to see McCain win. Don’t underestimate AZ voters...yet.
I see all the rinos are out supporting the biggest rino of all...John McLiar. The BEST candidate bad money can buy!
FLUSH THE JOHN! (To the tune of Frankie & Johnnie)
Johnny and Teddy were Senators
On opposite sides of the aisle
They got together and drafted a bill
Guaranteed to make illegals smile
Amnesty was their game and they had no shame
Johnny and Senator Feingold
Gave campaign finance a try
But then the highest court in the land
Said the 1st amendment must apply
Gotta play by the rules now Johnny looks like a fool
Johnny and Mr. Obama
They both agree Gitmo should close
But bringing terrorists into the USA
Is a plan that we oppose
No, they dont belong and Johnnys got it all wrong
Now Johnny and Senator Lieberman
Got together on cap and trade
Anemic hands across the aisle
Gonna send the country to its grave
Its time to let him know old Johnnys gotta go
Johnny believes Global Warming
Limousine Liberals and all
Congressional junkets to Copenhagen
Everybodys havin a ball
Just ask Al Gore - Johnny knows the score
S & L Man Charlie Keating
He came to Johnny one day
Said the government boys are sniffing around
How much to make em go away?
Did Johnny take a bribe to join the Keating 5?
Now fast-forward 20 years later
Banks are in trouble again
Johnny says, Lets bail em out
Its just a trillion or maybe ten.
Lets put some wind in their sails cause theyre too big to fail.
We know theres oil in Alaska
Drilling wont cause any harm
But Johnny agrees with the tree-hugging geeks
Gas is gonna cost a leg and an arm
Johnny why cant you see whats good for you and me?
Now everyone knows about ACORN
They get lots of taxpayers dough
Prostitution rings and voter fraud
And home loans to any old schmoe
No matter ACORNs crimes Johnny thinks theyre just fine
Were tired of hearin your flip-flops
Were tired of hearin your lies
You may think were all dummies but you cant
Pull the wool over our eyes
Youre careers hit a snag - so start packin your bags
Cause Johnny, youve worn out your welcome
Its time to bid DC goodbye
Go write a book or learn to cook
And eat a little humble pie
Just ask Sheriff Joe he says you gotta go
Yeah, go Johnny, go its time to hit the road.
Good-bye

What are you saying...that Hayworth is FOR illegal immigration? He was screaming about it before it was cool to scream about it.
I was with JD Hayworth yesterday and he has happily agreed to come here, on FREEREPUBLIC and do a Q&A. I have to set up the day and time. Is this something you all would would want?
“I was with JD Hayworth yesterday and he has happily agreed to come here, on FREEREPUBLIC and do a Q&A. I have to set up the day and time. Is this something you all would would want?”
Absolutely!
To ALL: BTW, you will NEVER find john mccain facing conservatives! NEVER.
What are you doing? Why are you doing this? JD Hayworth is a good man...he has nothing to do with Chris Simcox. Please...stop it and let AZ decide. I thought you were better than this.
JD wants to come here on FreeRepublic and do a Q&A...I’ll set it up if people want me to.
