When you consider McCain’s involvement in the Keating 5, Hayworth’s connections to Jack Abramoff is nothing but a red herring at this point. Hayworth cooperated with the feds and they found he did nothing illegal. JD is also a solid conservative on taxes.
On spending, well..... Hayworth voted for the 2003 prescription drug benefit, the big govt farm and highway bills. Hayworth supported pork-barrel earmarks. McCain opposed all that staist crappola.
I’ll still take JD over McCain.
See post 37.
No matter how much of a RINO Juan McCain is, no conservative should be linking arms with Howell Heflin.
>> I’ll still take JD over McCain.
J.D. is much younger and still shaping his career. He has experience both in and out of Congress. He strikes me as the kind of person who learns from the mistakes made, and is willing to adapt and grow.
John McCain will govern according to his established record. Regardless of what he says today, he will continue to compromise and legislate as before.
