Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and former Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R) -- two of conservatives' favorite anti-illegal immigration firebrands and potential 2010 candidates for statewide office in Arizona -- have teamed up to raise more than $100,000 as part of a holiday party being held Dec. 5.
A recent poll from Rasmussen Reports showed Arpaio leading all comers in the Arizona governor's race, while Hayworth is in a statistical tie with Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in a hypothetical primary match-up.
Both men have been coy about their intentions but any sort of electoral alliance between the two would strike fear into the hearts of centrist Republicans in the state.
Their holiday party, hosted by Arpaio at the home of GOP strategist and PR guru Jason Rose in Paradise Valley, Ariz., is raising money for Hayworth's Freedom in Truth Trust, dedicated to helping pay off the former congressman's legal fees. Hayworth lost his 2006 congressional race amidst questions about his ties to disgraced lobbyist Jack Ambramoff.
On his Web site, Hayworth said he still has "outstanding legal bills that total in the hundreds of thousands of dollars," due to the "false charge of corruption."
Rose told CQ Politics that Arpaio and Hayworth are "longtime friends and ideological soul mates on the issue of illegal immigration" and that Arpaio would support Hayworth should he decide to take on McCain.

Unfortunately that is absolutely true.
No way! I am crazy third party conservative vote splitting man! Everybody who doesn't join my third party is a RRRRRRRINO!
They're both RINOs! I'll bet you're a RINO, too! In fact, the whole blamed state of Oklahoma are RRRRRRINOs!!!!1!!1!
LOL!!
Yep, just what I thought. You can't prove it.
Good day.
God day, POS
Well, they sure have a funny way of showing it. How long has McCain been a Senator?
Why not AG of the US?
You know, it appears that everyone has completely forgotten that Arpaio endorsed ultra-liberal Janet Napolitano for governor of Arizona. He appeared on TV campaigning for her, etc. He helped Napolitano defeat conservative Republican and former AZ GOP Chairman Matt Salmon. Napolitano went on to be appointed by Obama as head of the Department of Homeland Security.
The McCain haters don’t allow little things like facts get in the way.
Get bent, newbie RINO troll and McCainiac.
Why don't you go pimp your favorite RINOs somewhere else?
No more RINOs!
Free Republic does not and will not support RINOS!! Not now!! Not ever!!
John McCain, you treasonous bastard, I challenge you or any of your traitorous cohorts...
Sounds like that "endorsement" was obtained under duress.
havent you figgered out that nobody can follow links or even read earlier posts and all you are doing is destroying the brilliant strategy of the rin-o-p and thwarting their efforts to take back responsibility for the fustercluck in DC...???
oh, and i shouldnt forget to also call you a liar, im sure you mispelled a word in the last 6 months and havent admitted it yet...
dang, Im still loopy from the other night too...8^}...
better drink a triple for me too haledude...
Not everybody has forgotten.
Even so it was inexcusable. A 2006 endorsement I could very grudgingly forgive since she was gonna win in anyway but in 2002, inexcusable it could have been a difference in her narrow win against a good Republican. I’d think twice about backing the Sheriff for higher office.
I hope Hayworth thwacks that old coot McLame though. He ain’t the worst RINO Senator W. Seymour but he’s bad enough, he’s taken the lead on the wrong side of too many issues, seems like he’s co-sponsored bad legislation with half the rats in Washington. He also was very close to accepting John Kerry’s offer to be his running mate in 04. And his white house campaign was an embarrassment. Those are all facts by the way. Time for him to go home to one of his wife’s 50 houses.
Memo
To: w.Seymour
Re: John McCain
Lookee here n00b, our Founder Jim Robinson is no fan of McCain, is 100 percent opposed to RINOs (like you) and you would be well advised to check the sky above you because the smell of ozone is in the air, and REAL conservative Freepers know what means.
I’ll say my goodbyes to you now, before the *ZOT*
Adios asswipe.
Too old.
Rabs has a list of Dr. Seymours posts(transgressions). He may need to keep posting them until the mods get a whiff ;-)
I already got the whiff, and it’s 100 percent unadulterated RINO-sh*t.
Therrrrrrrrre ya go!
