I don't think replacing one flawed candidate with another who lost his seat over his flaws is a way to reform government. Where are the supporters of Chris Simcox? Now he was a man against the machine. I could understand Tea Parties supporting him but to support a failed candidate who lost his seat over corruption charges, a man with ties to Abramhoff and call it reform? I don't think so. It is a waste of time and energy. It also opens up the seat to a stronger Democrat challenge at a time when we don't need it. It has the potential to screw up down ticket races due to inner party conflict. There are several House seats including Hayworth's old seat which will be up for grabs if the Arizona Republican party gets things together and remains united.

And John McCain is no conservative ANYTHING!

(He's just a RINO loser who kisses rat ass.)

[SENTINEL]

Just as in the case of Scott Brown, it is much less important who the new candidate is than who the incumbent is.

John McCain needs to be fired. Fired, fired, fired !

Firing McCain is much more important than hiring Hayworth. A slight improvement is acceptable for now if he can pull it off.

[mnehring]

I still believe there are surprises in store and we may get a candidate that fits our mold better.

[frogjerk]

John McCain is one reason that Obama is president today. For that alone, he should be defeated.

[pissant]

You are pathetic.

[MBB1984]

Is that you posting, Juan McCain?

[Jim Robinson]

McCain-Feingold.
McCain-Kennedy.
McCain-Lieberman.
McCain-Gang of 14.
McCain-Bailout pimp.

McCain gets “F” grades in Constitution, Capitalism, Citizenship, Conservatism, Economics, Science, Law and Liberty.

Right now, JD is the one that has a chance to oust McLettuce. He’s not perfect but he’s a HELL of a lot better than our current reach across the isle “We’re all God’s children” senator.

J.D. Hayworth as a US Congressman from Arizona had a lifetime rating of 97.56% from the American Conservative Union after 12 years of service. McCain has a 82% rating after 27 years of service.

Sorry, it is silly to hold for 100% conservative when the opportunity exists to rid the Republican party of one its members doing the most to undermine a conservative agenda.

do you live in Arizona??

[martin_fierro]

Web sites are giddy about his candidacy. I'm not sure they should be. Get the new PD toolbar!

[wizard1961]

The concerns are worth thinking about... but... McCain commands attention from the press & is the most likely person ever to sell out conservatism. Further, knocking him out would boost Tea Party influence. Heck, it would be good if Palin no longer needed to stick up for McCain.

The best is the enemy of the better.

[fieldmarshaldj]

DUMP McCAIN !

GO HAYWORTH !

[dalereed]

Go to hell along with your liberal blogger trying to palm himself off as a news source!

[rob777]

"Even more disquieting from a conservative philosophical point of view, Hayworth was supportive of the Bush era's big spending -- much more so than the fiscally prudent McCain."

< br> This is a really big problem for me. I really do not see a viable choice in this race and agree that limited resources should be focused elsewhere.

[Mr. Silverback]

Even Mark freakin’ Kirk voted against the Bridge to Nowhere.

[Man50D]

Until then, I can certainly live with John McCain.

Most people won't live with amnesty for illegals, abortion, global warming fallacy, socialist bailouts and not drilling in ANWR as McAmnesty espouses.

[kabar]

You can defend McCain all you want. He must be defeated at all costs. JD Hayworth is far better than McCain in so many ways.

McCain had the Keating Five scandal. He is pro-amnesty and pro cap and trade. He was a co-sponsor of both bills. He tried to limit political free speech. He is against drilling in ANWR. He is against making English the official language of the US. He supports candidates like Charlie Crist over conservative candidates. He wants to close Gitmo. I could on and on why this cancer must be removed from the GOP. And it will be. The timing could not be better.
