McCain has spent $20M on a scorched earth campaign against challenger J.D. Hayworth. Posted on 08/21/2010 4:58:02 PM PDT by Hildy
OK, so before I get started I have to tell everyone here that JD Hayworth reads what we post here. And he REMEMBERS! LOL! I am a JD supporter, and several months ago when I met him for the first time, he told me he likes to come here to FreeRepublic and read what we have to say. I was going to have him come here, but I never followed through, which was my fault. However, I have been hard on him in recent weeks.
I have to say that because Mohave County, where I live, is so conservative, conservative candidates take us for granted. Mohave County is NOT McCain land, so it's hard for me to gauge what's really going on around the State. I hadn't seen many JD ads and frankly, McCain is spending all his money attacking (in a very ugly manner) Hayworth. If everyone in Mohave would get off their asses and vote, we'd sway this election and there'd be no more Senator McCain. But we all know that's not the way it works.
However, someone high up in Republican politics from Phoenix told me the other day that she believes JD has a very strong chance as she knows NOBODY who is voting for McCain. So although I don't see the campaign too much here in Mohave, I understand now that he has been working really hard in Maricopa where elections are won and lost. That made me feel better as I slipped into my seat at the Mohave County Republican Picnic today.
I saw Hayworth and went over to say hello. The first thing he did was hug me and then ask me why I've turned on him! (Of course, this was all done with a smile on both our faces)...He proceeded to recite back to me some of the things I've written here on FR. LOL! I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHAT I WRITE FROM DAY TO DAY..the guy has an incredible memory!
So, I know he's reading this now, and I have to tell you that he must have taken his "adorable pills" because he was sweet and adorable and NOT bombastic like I have said in the past!
Seriously, the bottom line is we must defeat McCain. If only that Jim Deakins (who is a nut and I hope he's reading this too) would have done the right thing and stepped aside, I'd feel much better about everything today.
My support for JD has never swayed. I support him, I'm voting for him and I am asking everyone from Arizona to vote for him on Tuesday.
GOOD LUCK ON TUESDAY, J.D.!!!!
Can you do som volunteer work for him?
‘ve done phone work and put signs up for candidates I wanted. We really want McPain OUT. McPain is sickening. BTW, we’re in NJ. CHristie is doing a decent job. McPain believes he can BUY the election.

nmh,
I don’t mean to be rude, because I can tell by your post that you’re unaware, but,
Hildy has been working her butt off for JD since he entered the race.
http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/arizona/politics/article_67f2342c-937b-11df-9051-001cc4c002e0.html
In AZ, independents (942,500) now rank just 1 percent behind the number of registered Democrats. They outnumber Democrats in Maricopa County.
“But four out of 10 registered independents questioned by pollster Earl de Berge say they intend to exercise their legal right to influence the outcome of the Aug. 24 primary. And most of them are more interested in the Republican races.”
“McCain has the support of 71 percent of independents who say they plan to vote in the Republican primary. That compares with his 62 percent margin among registered Republicans.”
In other words, the Democrats who are independents want McCain in the general election. Mostly because they are afraid of J.D. McCain is their boy, because he undermines the Republicans at every opportunity.
I don’t mean to be rude, because I can tell by your post that you’re unaware, but,

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPS!
I didn't know!!!
My apologies, Hildy.
Go for it. Give em hell.
My kudos to you and thank you onyx for putting me straight!
FLUSH THE JOHN! McCain HAS to go!
(To the tune of Frankie & Johnny!)
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 don’t belong – and Johnny’s 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
It’s time to let him know – old Johnny’s gotta go
Johnny believes Global Warming
Limousine Liberals and all
Congressional junkets to Copenhagen
Everybody’s 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, “Let’s bail ‘em out
It’s just a trillion – or maybe ten.
Let’s put some wind in their sails – ‘cause they’re too big to fail.”
We know there’s oil in Alaska
Drilling won’t cause any harm
But Johnny agrees with the tree-hugging geeks
Gas is gonna cost a leg and an arm
Johnny why can’t you see what’s 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 ACORN’s crimes – Johnny thinks they’re just fine
We’re tired of hearin’ your flip-flops
We’re tired of hearin’ your lies
You may think we’re all dummies but you can’t
Pull the wool over our eyes
You’re career’s hit a snag - so start packin’ your bags
‘Cause Johnny, you’ve worn out your welcome
It’s 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 – it’s time to hit the road.
Good-bye
MUST SEE!! on YOU TUBE!

McCain: “America is still the land of opportunity, we’re not going to erect barriers and fences.”
HELLO ARIZONA!!!! You’ve made us proud with your stand against the tyrannical Obama Administration and open borders and your willingness to enforce our immigration laws!
But you’re making the same mistake you’ve made for 24 years...you are believing lies.....
The never ending stream of lies from John McCain and his supporters.
Indeed, Sen. McCain has been on the stump in Arizona of late, telling everyone how he supports SB 1070, how he wants to ‘secure the border’ and is against ‘amnesty’.
HE IS LYING, again!!! Stop letting this man use you!
How SOON we forget! But you better remember HIS WORDS!

*“America is still the land of opportunity,” Senator John McCain recently said. “And we’re not going to erect barriers and fences.” June 26, 2007 National Review
*SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, R-ARIZ.: I do not favor using troops because they are not trained for it. They don’t have the kind of qualifications necessary. I have strongly favored us using all the technical equipment that our military has including satellites, including aircraft and other technical means. May, 2001
*McCain continues to be well, McCain, throwing out liberal lines to catch the unsuspecting. Here he promises to push the failed Kyoto treaty.
“I am committed as President to pursue the efforts to reduce greenhouse gasses immediately. That includes joining Kyoto as long as we have India and China involved. It would not be fair to the planet to say the two largest growing economies who are greenhouse gas emitters are not part of it.” April, 2010
*On the ‘View’: Meghan McCain Blasts Tea Parties
Sen. John McCain’s daughter says the movement is filled with “innate racism.”
Does ANYONE think Meghan isn’t doing her father’s bidding???
*On the 2008 campaign trail: McCain had been asked how debate over the immigration bill was playing politically. “In the short term, it probably galvanizes our base,” he said. “In the long term, if you alienate the Hispanics, you’ll pay a heavy price.” Then he added, unable to help himself, “By the way, I think the fence is least effective. But I’ll build the goddamned fence if they want it.”

* May 29, 2003 interview: McCain: “Amnesty has to be an important part because there are people who have lived in this country for 20, 30 or 40 years, who have raised children here and pay taxes here and are not citizens.“
* Dec. 15, 2000 press release: McCain: ”I support the Latino and Immigrant Fairness Act (LIFA). Negotiations between the White House and the leadership, which endorsed more limited immigration reform, have resulted in a compromise.... this bill makes meaningful but insufficient progress on amnesty for those wrongly denied it.“
Q: Should we change our Constitution to allow men like Mel Martinez, born in Cuba and Schwarzenegger, born in Austria, to stand here some night as candidates for president?
McCAIN: He and I have many similar attributes, so I have to seriously consider it.

McCain: “ Those who live closest are the ones who can get here. Everyone in the world should have the opportunity through an orderly process to come to this country.”

McCain attacked Proposition 106, an Arizona statewide referendum that was being advanced by the so-called English-only movement. McCain told the teachers, “Why would we want to pass some kind of initiative that a significant portion of our population considers an assault on their heritage?”
McCain was one of 10 members of congress who were honored by the National Council of La Raza, a nationwide coalition of Hispanic organizations. In a speech at a ceremony in Washington, before an audience of 500, McCain again attacked English-only initiatives. “The building of our great nation is not the work of immigrants from one or two countries, McCain said, ”Our nation and the English language have done quite well with Chinese spoken in California, German in Pennsylvania, Italian in New York, Swedish in Minnesota, and Spanish throughout the Southwest. I fail to see the cause for alarm now.“

*McCain actually said this just a few weeks ago.
“President Reagan granted amnesty to two million people and that was wrong,”

*This may be the ONLY time John McCain told the truth.
John McCain 2008 Prez election: no amnesty for illegal aliens could lead to France-style riots
...The man wasn’t satisfied with McCain’s answer. He asked McCain why the U.S. couldn’t execute large-scale deportations, as he had heard they did in France and other countries. The question seemed to pique McCain.
“In case you hadn’t noticed, the thousands of people who have been relegated to ghettos have risen up and burned cars in France,” McCain said. “They’ve got huge problems in France. They have tremendous problems. The police can’t even go into certain areas in the suburbs of Paris. I don’t want that in the suburbs of America.
McCain, the “maverick,” has been in Congress for 28 years, or since winning his first election in 1982. He is no longer fighting the establishment; he is the establishment. He personifies the compromise wing of the Republican Party, which has since become the dominant wing.
He’s an EMBARRASSMENT!
“The thought of [John McCain] being president sends a cold chill down my spine”Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.), also a senior member of the Appropriations panel, told the Boston Globe recently. “He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me.” Washington Post

And this....THIS bothers me the most. John McCain has no loyalty to Arizona or this nation. He is a globalist first.
Do remember the ONLY reason McCain claims Arizona is because his daddy in law bought him a congressional seat in that state!
McCain 3/2009:
“I could imagine, with a little envy, what it must have been like for the McCains who came before me to be so connected to one place; to be part of a community”

FOTFLOLOL
So do you think JD is gaining? What’s the local buzz?
I don’t have any buzz.... unfortunately. I’m just praying for a miracle. A bunch of people I know hate McCain and won’t vote for him, but are kinda creeped out by JD/bought into McLettuce’s lies...I wonder how many votes Deakin will get.
What lies would that be? I’ve heard of the ads he did, and some of the other dumb stuff.
McCain has spent $20M on a scorched earth campaign against challenger J.D. Hayworth. I love your parody, AuntB!
I've been looking for one that another FReeper did in '08 "All Done with John" (Tune: Already Gone) It was quite clever, too.
LOL! Go swim with the snakes, 'sharkie.
“Hayworth Radio Ad: McCain Is Spending $20 Million To Lie About Me (AUDIO)”
http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/jd-hayworth/
“20 million dollars — almost half of it from funds raised for the last presidential campaign. 20 million bucks. That’s what John McCain is spending in false attacks against me. That Mr. Campaign Finance Reform would now break all spending records shouldn’t surprise us. He’s so desperate to cling to power, that he’s adopted the lie-and-buy strategy — lie about me, and try to buy this election. Well on Tuesday, he’ll find out that you cannot be bought.”
My head’s wildly spinning around.... seeing that... thing.
I’m out talking to all the neighbors, family, everyone I can today to get them out to vote for JD Tues...
I know that’s not really a specific answer.... Maybe somebody else has more .... I shut the tv off/change channels when I see the Lettuce as quickly as I do if Hussein is on, so I miss the lies and b.s.
The people around him are already starting in on him “your legacy, your legacy” - “you’ve got to move to the center”.
The way I see it, only his friendship with Jan Brewer is going to keep him steadfast on the border and immigration issue.
I have no idea what he’ll do about anything else, except healthcare - he’s for repealing that too because he hates obama’s lies about it and all the special backroom “deals.”
Damn, the SOB needs to lose.
