I understand why many Arizona Republicans would want to dump John McCain for a more conservative Senator, but I've never understood those who argue that J.D. Hayworth is the conservative who should replace McCain. Hayworth, after all, was a top recipent of donations linked to corrupt lobbyist Jack Abramoff, and was a reliable vote for President Bush's big government agenda.
The weakness of Hayworth's claim to be a small government conservative was brought into sharper focus with the release of [a] 2007 infomercial that Hayworth recorded for the National Grants Conference, which offers seminars on how to people can get free money from government through grants.
The video clip ...features people bragging about how they get money from the government.
"I was able to get a grant for $13,000 for my roof, for the electrical work -- I don't have to pay any of this money back," one woman boasts at the beginning of the video.
Hayworth chimed in, "You may think what you've heard is too good to be true, but let me assure you, it is real. It's available. And it's something you should take advantage of."
Even more disturbingly, Hayworth invokes Ronald Reagan to justify it

Phil Klein is a f***** retard. As is McCain.
Wow. I’m shocked. no not really. getting close to election time there too.. shame to waste any dirt they got left in their files. ;-)
The American Entrepreneurial ‘make a buck , pass it on’ spirit is now discouraged ... and to be disdained?
Meanwhile Obama plays thru the BP scandal all the while keeping all the dough he got from their execs.
Try and get Cap-and-Trade Odds on that one in Vegas.
Go JD!
In the past, McCain has been kinder and agreed more with the dems than with Republicans. I’m tired of hearing, “My good friends on the other side of the aisle.” (I think he was talking about Republicans.) McCain should retire and spend time with his friends-on the other side of the aisle.
Come on. I'm no McCain fan but if he was out shilling for people to get "free government money," the Freepers would (rightfully so) want to tar and feather him.
Was it illegal? Ethics is so yesterday, yaknow.
Besides he was feeding his kids, paying for college, it ain’t easy outside of a gubamint job these days. Radio don’t pay that much for everyone.. ;-)
True! That really tickled me. LOL!
It’s beginning to look like only the late Jesse Helms was not a RINO. Are there any others?
JD strikes me a total partisan, so at least with him we wouldn’t have to worry about him holding hands with Lieberman while they sell out America to Mexico.
I’m quite concerned about the sort of mischief Mccain will cause while he’s a lame duck between Nov. and January.
Jack French Kemp always called them “OUR Democratic friends” and he hailed Al Bore in the 1996 “debate”, which Kemp threw to the Democrats.
Yes McCain is a RINO who panders to the Washington media but Hayward is an idiot.
True but in 96, the rats hadn’t totally exposed themselves as the Marxists that I believe them to be.
Jack was a good man.
Hayworth
WOW, you mean someone who was unemployed and used to be an announcer actually took a job.....announcing? Oh the horror! He had a wife and family, he should have just collected unemployment.
Support JD Hayworth
Big whoop. The important thing is, is that Hayworth is strong on border security. I’ll take that anytime over helping taxpayers get some of their money back from the government.
Politicians will do anything for money. McCain is the biggest whore of them all.
Hayworth ain’t perfect but atleast he isn’t a George Soros Republican or a Constitution shredding Republican, John McCain is both.
Haven’t we had ENOUGH of McLame?
