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.!!!!
*Phew*
*Heading out on the boat*
Be good.
That's a fine third party invite. This one doesn't drink kool aid from anyone. Trust me, if she comes for a visit, I we will.......
:-)
Be safe and have fun! (Sorry, I shouldn’t use the slash (/) as often as I do, bad Habla servant...)
:0)
Can you tell me who (what voter blocs in the primary) in that state is voting for McCain? Why is he a serious candidate? Why is JD Hayworth having such a difficult campaign against an obvious idiot? Is it just money?
Is McCain such a good campaigner that this is a close race? He surely showed otherwise running against the Mombasa Moonbeam.
LOL. Yup, there will be some shark-snake duels in person some day, even though the Shark has assured me we have more in common than not :0))
You know.... during election season, the leftists (at least around here) went on and on and on about how McCain is too old, too sick, wouldn’t last through the presidency, it was all ageist, hypocritical, and disgusting. Now I haven’t heard a peep and I’m sure they’re all voting in the open primary for him.
It is weird, my husband and I are Independents so when they sent us our sample ballots, we can choose whether to vote all Rs or all Ds. How many people are voting Rs just so they can get McCommie in again???
What’s the story on fake “Republican” registrations is Arizona? Has there been a campaign to corrupt Republican primaries?
I’ve sent JD a few contributions from here, a couple states away from Arizona, because IMO dumping McInsane is one of the healthiest things that could happen to the GOP.
If JD doesn’t win this, (and it looks pretty grim, honestly), I will blame Glenn Beck. Seriously.
I'm pinging Kate M. for help --- she's got ALL the scoop, in my opinion. Kate, thanks in advance :0)
Idiots. The polls indicate that their democrat candidates have better chances to defeat JD, so why aren’t the idiots voting for JD?
Maybe because they get a democrat in McCain. (I answered my own question).
Sorry I can't be a better help but perhaps someone else knows more about this.
Thanks for writing this. It elevates FreeRepublic as well as Hayworth. My donating finger is getting itchy again.
“Is it just money?
Is McCain such a good campaigner that this is a close race?”
Money is a big part of it. Big donors by mobsters in Vegas, the La Raza crowd and private prisons who house illegal aliens (GEOs PAC gave only $5,000 each to the campaigns of Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Rudy Giuliani and Mike Huckabee.....http://www.santafenewmexican.com/Sidebar/Prison-firms-donate-thousands-to-Richardson-http://www.campaignmoney.com/political/contributions/john-hurley.asp?cycle=08 = $500 to McCain several times John Hurley, ceo GEO, contributes BIG to RNC and Charlie Christ.)
NOTE: Remember just a few days ago the prisoners who escaped one of McCain’s private prisons in AZ???
Lying is McCain’s hole card, always has been. By the time this election started, McCain had reinvented himself and his campaign website...’I’ve never been for amnesty, blah,blah, blah....’. He went so far in Tuscon to declare ‘Reagan was wrong for giving amnesty’...
Here’s another thing...he has purchased relevant keywords on the net, so no matter what you’re looking for you get his campaign websites.
[snip]The Search For A Candidate (from the pres primary)
McCains people say that every dollar they spend on online search advertising brings in three or four bucks.
The national polls dont reflect it, but in one sense John McCain is the clear front runner in the presidential race: he leads in search-engine ads. When you type McCains name into Google, alongside or above the standard search results youll always get a text ada sponsored linkthat leads you to a Web site soliciting campaign contributions for the Arizona senator. What happens when you type Giuliani into Google? You get a paid link to the former New York mayors site. But you also get a McCain ad.
The other obvious search words involve search terms people use when researching specific issues. Here again, McCain is busy; his people say that at various times theyve bought 10,000 different words. Giuliani pops up with flat tax and illegal immigrant. But when I tried universal health care, nothing from any candidate came up. Vary it a little by typing health care reform and you get a paid link to John McCain

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.

Thank you, AuntB. BTTT.
I think Arizonians are so fed up with the “politics as usual” that I am hopeful of JD taking the primary on Tuesday...However, I am not so sure that if John McCain loses the Republican primary, he will not follow his good friend Joe Lieberman and declare himself an “independent” candidate right afterward. You heard it here first! But he won’t win anything but disgust if he does do that.
GO JD - Arizona is on the frontline of our political awakening! -
And there is ONE vital fact - JD is a born again Christian! So pray for him, pray for our nation, and ask for God’s direct intervention this week. With man it is impossible, but with God, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE...
How ANYBODY could POSSIBLY vote for that phony, smug, nasty, duplicitous snake John McCain is TOTALLY beyond me.
And thank you to you too, princess leah. Will do.
Yes, but he said the same thing to me, too.
Thanks, Aunt B!
