Former Congressman J.D. Hayworth of Arizona is taking aim at the Senate seat now held by former presidential candidate John McCain. Hayworth has gotten attention for pointing out that McCain “campaigns claiming to be a conservative — but legislates as a liberal.”
In a conversation at CPAC 2010 with William F. Jasper, exclusive to Liberty News Network, Hayworth lays out the background for that statement and makes the case that McCain is a “good man” that has gotten some “bad advice” and has been in office “too long.”

Spectacular interview, thank you Liberty News Network. Sharing now.
Also, Hayworth officially has my support. He may not be Ron Paul, but McCain has GOT to go!
God bless America.

How does Hayworth compare to McCain? Checking the final congressional scorecard (Freedom Index) for the 109th Congress (last in which Hayworth served) shows the following:
McCain (Senate) – final cumulative score of 44
Hayworth (House) – final cumulative score of 40

Looks like what we have here is another case of Tweedle-Dee vs. Tweedle-Dum.
A much better choice for the US Senate seat from Arizona would be Jim Deakin. http://jimdeakin.com/

Hayworth is a neo-con, pro-interventionist, nothing constitutional about his Foreign Policy at all. I’m with Rich: Jim Deakin for US Senate, AZ.

One thing that Robert Welch said is good to keep in mind, and I paraphrase slightly:
“If there is a choice between an incumbent leftist and an freshman leftist, then we should always go for the freshman, if for the simple reason that the freshman 1) has less influence and therefore can do less damage, and 2) he is easier to unseat if and when a real Constitutionalist comes along.”
I would add two things to that:
1) Hayworth has really thrown his hat over the wall being interviewed favorable by William Jasper, and he would be more vulnerable to Constitutionalist backlash if he should turn in another rating of 40%
2) Hayworth’s cumulative score of 40% may be a reflection of a survival need to stay in office rather than what his real stance is. He may be a principled Constitutionalist who did what he had to do to survive, or he might not. As Welch said, we can only trust politicians to be politicians – with rare exceptions like Ron Paul (Welch didn’t say that, I said that).
If Hayworth has a chance to win, then that is the person I would support, then turn up the heat very hot if he ever turns in anything below 80%.

J.D. Hayworth is just taking advantage of McCain’s unpopularity. He’s no different than McCain. In fact he is a NEO-Con with little interest in Constitutional restraints. Hey, wise up We thePeople and vote for Jim Deakins…Quit latching on to these congressmen that are basically the same. Look at Hayworth’s voting record then you’ll see the real left wing Hayworth.

Other raters had JD rated 97 and McCain 70. Deakins may be better but he has no chance. I don’t think JD is a CFR member yet. Assuming he wins the seat we can keep him on the straight and narrow for a while, and have better candidates under development. Bob Bennett’s loss will not be lost on JD or other marginal conservatives and RINOs. A JD victory will influence RINO incumbenants for years
