Tonight, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) will debate his primary challengers, former Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ) and conservative "tea party" activist Jim Deakin in one of only two Republican primary debates.
During the one hour debate, Hayworth will likely concentrate on McCain's 28 years in Congress with a focus on his position on immigration. Deakin said he will compare and contrast his approach in representing constituents to the "other two entrenched politicians." A McCain campaign spokesman said that the Senator "looks forward to a spirited discussion on the issues facing Arizonans."
The LIVE debate will take place tonight at KTVK-TV in Phoenix, Arizona.
In the next debate, JD really needs to shoot down Juan’s nonsense about how he “leads” and point out the many results of some of his “leadership” and reaching across the aisle.
JD’s closing statement is superb! I hope someone will find a transcript.
Plain spoken and right to the point.
He nailed Mc while he cited his own strengths. It’s a wonderful, perfect clsoinbg statement.
Go JD!
me too.
It was hard keeping up. it kept refreshing from one item to the next. :)
WHOOO HOOOOOO JD did great!
i was listening and heard his stumble (?) choking (?).
The debate to be rebroadcast Sunday @ 5:30 ???
LOL and I agree - John made a case for his retirement!
“McCain gave us Obama. Case Closed!
“
That’s the best killer statement I’ve heard all night!
CSPAN should be re-running it right now.
omg, I had to go work out, couldn't take just sitting here watching McC anymore --- so I watched it on the gym tv... But I was cheering then too -- I know the exact moment you're talking about! LOL
heck, john “SITS” across the aisle. ;)
JD’s closing was great. McCain was McCain and Deaken stumbled.
The comments were right under the video feed.
Sorry I didn’t see your response until just now.
I thought it was a given, and I didn’t realize others wouldn’t see it, same page, just a bit lower than the video.
“Deakin sounds more conservative than McCain does.
Reminds me of Ron Paul at times.”
Ron Paul would never stoop to something this low:

Rarely will you see a candidate, in writing, say something this stupid.
“I did not look to see if JD actually voted for any of these Laws. However, he did not stop them either.”
I suppose he thought no one would read the last line of his charade.
Jim Deakin: A VOTE FOR JOHN HAYWORTH IS A VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN (JOHN Hayworth??? )
I scoured the Library of Congress and could find no significant differences in the voting record of John McCain and John Hayworth.
As a politician, it appears from the Library of Congress that Hayworth is politics as usual.
Hayworth served for 12 YEARS. I cannot list every vote (you are welcome to do your own research at http://thomas.loc.gov/ )
Amnesty laws and extensions passed during the Hayworth years in Congress. http://www.legion.org/documents/legion/pdf/illegalimmigration.pdf Page 14 and 15
1. Section 245(i) The Amnesty of 1994 – a temporary rolling amnesty for 578,000 illegal aliens.
2. Section 245(i) The Extension Amnesty of 1997 – an extension of the rolling amnesty created in 1994.
3. Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act (NASCARA) Amnesty of 1997 – An amnesty for close to one million illegal aliens from Central America.
4. Haitian Refugee Immigration Fairness Act Amnesty (HRIFA) of 1998 — An amnesty for 125,000 illegal aliens from Haiti.
5. Late Amnesty of 2000 – An amnesty for illegal aliens who claim they should have been amnestied under the 1986 IRCA amnesty, an estimated 400,000 illegal aliens.
6. Life Amnesty of 2000 – A reinstatement of the rolling Section 245(i) amnesty that legalized an estimated 900,000 illegal aliens.
I did not look to see if JD actually voted for any of these Laws. However, he did not stop them either.

I loved it!
JD needed this debate and he made the best of it!
WOO-HOO!
That was a good debate. Nationals should pay attention and try that format.
I hope many Arizonians watched.
McRino blinks because of his contact lenses.
If you look at pics from the early 80’s , McRino had big goofy glasses.
good for you. channel that energy into something constructive. i only did two push ups. lol
There is another tomorrow night.. hopefully I won’t miss THAT debate, too........ darn, I really wanted to see this.
J.D. looked good tonight. McCain looked so bad, he might garner a sympathy vote.
