Look I know I am probably going to get a lot of flak for this but I don't care. First off for those of you who say "But Marco Rubio is challenging Charlie Crist in a primary why can't Hayworth challenge McCain?" Well, for starters the Rubio-Crist (Rubio is kicking major ass in latest polling by the tune of 2-1 literally or 60-28) is an open Senate seat in Florida, it is good that there is a primary there. It helps our party fight it out and clean house. But Hayworth is running a spiteful campaign against McCain who may not be a perfect conservative but is better than most, and if Hayworth were to knock off McCain in a primary (he most likely won't) McCain would probably run as an independent (think Ned LaMont knocking off Liberman in the Dem primary back in 2006) and could split the vote enough to give the election to the Democratic candidate. In the name of purity would you rather have that seat flip folks? For those of you who say yes go join a kook third party because that is an insane idea. It doesn't play well with the American public. Plus while I know McCain is no saint Hayworth has A LOT more baggage; don't believe me? Check out Wikipedia and other sources to check his background.
Between 1999 and 2005, Hayworth received $69,000 from lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his clients, primarily from Indian tribes. $62,000 of the money went to TEAM PAC.[14] After Abramoff was convicted of defrauding the tribes, Hayworth decided to keep the donations.
Gee, no chance the Dems would seize on that would they? Remember the whole Abramoff mess is what cost us control of the House back in 2006, why remind people about it? Also read this about his District that kicked him out of Congress back in 2006
Several prominent local Republicans also crossed the aisle to endorse Harry Mitchell in the race, including many former GOP elected office holders.[22] This defection of Republicans had a significant impact on the result of the general election: CD-5, despite having a 60% Republican active registered voter advantage over Democrats (139,057 vs 86,743 in October 2006)[23], nevertheless voted in favor of the Democrat Mitchell.
So he had a 60-40 edge in his party's favor and STILL LOST THE FREAKING HOUSE SEAT. This man is scum and the sooner people bail on him the better. Anyone in Arizona, hold your nose and vote for McCain in August, we don't need Hayworth running again
