The first person who was running against McCain early on was a third party person who reg. Republican to run,
Chris Simcox who is now supporting JD Hayworth and who has been advising him.
Who is Simcox.......
A judge in Phoenix granted an order of protection on April 16, ordering Simcox to surrender his firearms and stay at least 200 yards away from his family.
In her petition for an order of protection, Alena Simcox, 30, his third wife, alleges that she came home from shopping Nov. 29 to find her husband intoxicated.
She writes that he threatened her with a gun, “repeatedly pointed it at me, saying he was going to kill me, and my kids, and the police.”
Alena Simcox describes a six-hour ordeal during which she locked herself and her three children in a bedroom until he passed out at 2 a.m. Afraid for her safety, she did not call the police.
“He was waiting by the door for the police to come, with a gun pointed at me,” she wrote.
Alena Simcox also described a separate incident on Aug. 22, 2009: “On our wedding anniversary, he was drinking and angry. Got a revolver gun and loaded with kids present.
Then proceeded to ask me to ‘shoot him.’ I said ‘no,’ so then he said he would shoot the entire family and cops.”
Neither Chris Simcox nor his lawyer responded to requests for comment from The Associated Press.
The alleged threats are the latest episode in a troubled family life for Chris Simcox.
His first wife accused him of trying to molest their teenage daughter, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil-rights group that has warned about extremism in the Minuteman movement.
His second wife filed an emergency motion to obtain full custody of their teenage son because it seemed Chris Simcox was undergoing a mental breakdown and growing dangerous after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the SPLC reported in 2005, based on an examination of court records in Los Angeles.
In April 2004, a federal judge sentenced Chris Simcox to two years of probation for carrying a firearm on national forest property..........
People who keep informed knew what Simcox’s background was to start with and knew McCain was far better than this
fringe lunatic.
JD Hayworth accepted Simcox’s endorsement whith his background being common knowledge.
JD Hayworth was late entering the primary because he had to pay back the money to convicted felon Jack Abramoff.
Rep.J.D. Hayworth the largest single recipient of Abramoff related money and co-chairman of the Congressional Native American Caucus, has received more than $150,000 from Indian tribes once represented by Abramoff.
Since when is it a crime to carry a firearm on national forest lands???
I do it all the time.

Founding Member of the Keating 5 Back in the old days, defendants in famous trials got numbers — the Chicago Eight, the Gang of Four, the Dave Clark Five, the Daytona 500. McCain was one of the “Keating Five,” congressmen investigated on ethics charges for strenuously helping convicted racketeer Charles Keating after he gave them large campaign contributions and vacation trips.
Charles Keating was convicted of racketeering and fraud in both state and federal court after his Lincoln Savings & Loan collapsed, costing the taxpayers $3.4 billion. His convictions were overturned on technicalities; for example, the federal conviction was overturned because jurors had heard about his state conviction, and his state charges because Judge Lance Ito (yes, that judge) screwed up jury instructions. Neither court cleared him, and he faces new trials in both courts.)
McCain intervened on behalf of Charles Keating after Keating gave McCain at least $112,00 in contributions. In the mid-1980s, McCain made at least 9 trips on Keating’s airplanes, and 3 of those were to Keating’s luxurious retreat in the Bahamas. McCain’s wife and father-in-law also were the largest investors (at $350,000) in a Keating shopping center; the Phoenix New Times called it a “sweetheart deal.”
McCain was not convicted of any crimes, though the Senate concluded that he exercised “poor judgment.” (Furthermore, he got off on some charges by a technicality — that he was still in the House when he took those vacation trips, and so the Senate couldn’t prosecute him. The House concluded that THEY couldn’t prosecute him because he had moved to the Senate.)
Why would you post anything that references the SPLC? It is common knowledge that they are a bunch of far left wing bats.
McCain is a total scumbag. Schill for him if you want, but most here know the truth.
If McCain is in such a great spot, one wonders why the ferocity of the campaign against JD is being ramped up.
What are you doing? Why are you doing this? JD Hayworth is a good man...he has nothing to do with Chris Simcox. Please...stop it and let AZ decide. I thought you were better than this.
Troll post removed.
McCain is a useful idiot, ie, a traitor to the cause.
Damn the useful idiot progressive/liberal RINOS and their useful idiot supporters, sycophants and confused enablers!! Full speed ahead!!
GO, JD, GO!!
McCain is a traitor, witness McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, McCain-Lieberman, TARP, etc. And he’s a damned liar and insane asshole to boot.
Wake up and smell the TEA!! The independent conservative grassroots Tea Party rebellion was established to fight against exactly this kind of tyranny!!
You’re either with us or against us in this matter and if you’re against us, you’re against the constitution and against Liberty itself!! Traitor McCain cares nothing about either!!
Any FReepers actually supporting McCain’s anti-American Marxist garbage should go join WAnkers for RINOS!! You’ll be welcome there!!
Rebellion is brewing!!
Long live the Republic!!
Long live Liberty!!
None of that matters!
All that matters is that McShame has continuously voted against the best interests of the USA, and does not deserve re-election!

Contrary to your goal in posting those two offerings, those two posts certainly revealed you for what you are.
KKK members endorse Republicans all the time. Does that mean we shouldn’t vote for the Republicans they endorse? Does it mean that the Republican candidates support the KKK?
You are another disinformation jackass, trying to peddle John MeCain off as someone citizens of Arizona must vote for over Hayworth.
What charges have been filed against Hayworth in conjunction with Abramoff? Not one!
When did Hayworth say that Simcox or the other person you mentioned were fine upstanding Citizens and examples of people he supported? Well, he didn’t.
If this were my forum, your ass would have been history a long time ago.
