Apparently out of a sense of loyalty to the man who plucked her from Alaska and put her in the national spotlight, McCain’s former VP running mate Sarah Palin has been campaigning in his behalf. (We grimace at this, but we can appreciate the loyalty…..maybe) In light of the revelations below, we hope she will reconsider.
New Republican Senator from Massachusetts, Scott Brown, has also shown up in Arizona in McCain’s behalf, again out of loyalty for McCain’s support when Brown was still in “obscurity.”

J.D. Hayworth is the true conservative opposing John McCain in the Arizona GOP primary race.

According to Palin, McCain is the best man for the job in AZ. She is doing her best to make sure that the conservative down there loses b
I understand Palin’s loyalty. But why does she have to actively support him and campaign for him? He isn’t conservative at all.
He really is mentally dense. Totally out to lunch.
For the job of what, digging ditches?

I’ll give this to McCain: he knows how to plan ahead to keep a Senate seat.
1. Genially lose to an opposing Presidential candidate. (So possible Dem’ voters in the mid-term election won’t dismiss outright a guy they have so much in common with.)
2. Call in the chit of the Republican Right’s darling to stump for him.
3. Call in the chit of the Republican Left’s hero to do the same.
But I don’t think he’s sufficiently reckoned on JD Hayworth and McCain’s own trail of broken promises and incessant bread-breaking with the Dems to make it through the primary.
If McLame looses to JD, I’ll bet he runs as an independent like his buddy Leiberman
It’s as good a time as any to dig this out about McCain. It appeared briefly during the 2008 campaign, but was ignored. McCain is steeped in money from special interests to push legislation,usually in committees that he heads. His campaign ‘reform’ was really more about covering his big donors and his own corruption.
We know about the Indian money he exempted from his CFR, so they could give him ALL the money he wanted while being head of the Indian senate affairs committee.
Indians, Lobbyists and Arizona Politics...OH MY!’

Here is some on other donations for legislation.
McCain pressed FCC in case involving major contributor
[snips - read it all]
Days before Senator John McCain joined hands with Senator Bill Bradley last month to decry the noxious influence of special interest campaign donors, McCain pressured the Federal Communications Commission to vote on an issue that cleared the way for a major contributor to his presidential campaign to buy a Pittsburgh television station.
Speaking generally, however, McCain said, ‘’People give money to buy access. We’re all tainted by this system.’’ From time to time, he said, he has agreed to meet with major donors. ‘’They have access, and therefore they have influence. It corrupts the system. And I’m a victim of it too,’’ said McCain, who was ensnared but later cleared in the so-called Keating Five scandal nearly a decade ago. He was one of five senators who interceded with federal banking regulators on behalf of Charles Keating, whose name became synonymous with the savings and loan scandal that cost taxpayers billions of dollars.
McCain’s insistent urging that the FCC vote on the Pittsburgh issue had the effect - if not the intent - of benefiting Paxson, a West Palm Beach, Fla., network of 73 family-oriented stations and the nation’s largest owner of independent television stations. Through the end of September, Paxson’s top officers and their family members - and even the personal assistant to the wife of the company’s founder, Lowell W. Paxson - contributed $12,000 to McCain. In 1998, Paxson officials gave $9,000 to McCain.
And in July, as Paxson lobbyists were asking members of Congress to exert pressure on the FCC, 13 members of Paxson’s law firm, Dow, Lohnes & Albertson, contributed more than $8,000 to McCain on a single day, according to campaign finance records.
Sometime between McCain’s first letter on Nov. 17 and his more insistent letter on Dec. 10, Paxson made its four-engine jet available to ferry McCain and his entourage from New Hampshire to Washington on Dec. 3, a day after McCain declared in a New Hampshire appearance:
Though McCain’s committee has oversight of the FCC, there is no evidence that his May criticism affected the FCC’s decision to allow the mammoth SBC merger. Two weeks later, however, McCain filed legislation to strip the agency of its say in telecommunications mergers.
But on the Pittsburgh issue, officials familiar with the decision said McCain’s involvement was more problematic.
John McCain is total insider DC corruption.
John McCain once elected will NOT standby the responsible taxpaying citizens of the US versus what he has been paid to do.
We are being manipulated. How obvious is it?
How the honest people of Arizona could possibly vote for John McCain is beyond reason and responsibility.

jnsun, can you imagine, as bad as McCain been in the past, how he would act knowing this would be his last term as a senator.
And IF the republicans take congress in 2010, McCain would be the top “R” in the senate.
McCain is just so sleazy....and a Liberal RINO Liar....
Anyone supporting him is tarnished
Good info and pass it along, if you get my drift, Nateman. :)
McCain is a truly low individual. I called his campaign office during the Primaries when I heard that Hernandez was working for his campaign. I spoke with a young woman and asked whether it was true that Juan was working with them.
She became really angry. She told me that she was sick and tired of people saying that, because Hernandez was not a paid member of the campaign staff. She then huffily informed me that Juan was an unpaid member of the team.
she also told me that “We will take help wherever we get it.” I guess that means Soros and Kerry.
This should be a major scandal, but obviously the MSM will cover it up. I am wondering whether Hayworth will mention this. If he doesn’t, I would wonder why.
