Standing at the border, Hayworth slams McCain on immigration

(CNN) - At a Tea Party rally Sunday on the U.S.-Mexico border in support of tough immigration laws, Arizona Senate candidate J.D. Hayworth slammed his opponent, Arizona Sen. John McCain, and turned McCain's words back on the veteran senator.

On a ranch in Hereford, Arizona, and with the border fence visible several hundred yards behind him, Hayworth also praised Arizona's new immigration law that was signed by the state's governor, who has spent the last two days campaigning with McCain.

Pulling a word from a McCain letter on immigration which first surfaced in April, Hayworth said it was time to "regularize the status of John McCain," and remove him from office.

"He may try to change the terminology," Hayworth added. "Indeed, John McCain was sending out letters earlier this spring offering the boilerplate denial, saying 'Well you know I oppose amnesty.' And then in the next paragraph saying 'we must grant concessions to these people and regularize their status.' That's the new term [for amnesty]."

Hayworth said he had "a new way to apply that term."

"To put an end to amnesty once and for all, to secure our borders, to end any of this misguided talk about open borders, it is time to 'regularize' the status of John McCain. Send him back here to be a citizen among us," Hayworth said to applause.

No idea why Brewer or Palin lend their names to McCain. Johnny is getting senile. He has always been inconsistent on policy issues in general. He’s deada$$ stupid on climate change.
1. They feel they owe McCain. They forget "country first" when they place personal loyalty and gratitude above well being of nation.
2. In the case of Palin, her position is not that different than McCain's.
3. They believe McCaon will win and given the stupidity, arrogance, and self-imposed ignorance of the American and GOP voter, they are likely correct.

McCain was in Lake Havasu for a fundraiser yesterday morning, with Jan Brewer...ONLY 25 PEOPLE SHOWED UP! Weird.

I sincerely pray that Arizona take McCain to task for the YEARS of deceitful behavior and show him the exit door.

Hayworth is not to be taken seriously after stating he was glad Obama won the Presidential election rather than McCain.

Yea, and McCain said that LEGAL Americans would NOT come down to Arizona and pick lettuce for $50/hour because the WORK IS TOO HARD!

I’m praying too, but I don’t expect an answer.

Well, all things go according to God’s plan. If we wind up sending McStain back to the Senate, then I’ll know God’s plan for the near future includes the death of America as we know it.

*scandalized gasps from the gallery*

Oh, don’t be so shocked. You think America can’t die? You think God’s got that much of a vested interest in us? For all we know, our part in God’s plan may well be nearing the end of its usefulness.

The Bible is all about Israel; it doesn’t say a single word about the United States. We may not mean all that much in the long run, except that we were needed as the birthplace of a great Idea.

He has no chance of winning, he has run a terrible campaign.
