J . D. Hayworth—issues and the primary election tomorrow
Saturday, I posted material that I had written in 2008 concerning John McCain. Today, some selected issues from J. D. Hayworth’s campaign website—www.jdforsenate.com.
“Defending Life and Marriage
J.D. Hayworth is unequivocally pro-life and pro-marriage. While John McCain supports embryonic stem-cell research, J.D. Hayworth knows that the destruction of human life, even in the name of some ‘greater good‘, is absolutely unacceptable. The unborn, as well as those in the later stages of life, will have an uncompromising champion in J.D. Hayworth. J.D. Hayworth champions the efforts of Representative Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD) to concentrate on pluripotent stem cell research which utilizes embryonic-like adult stem cells.
J.D. is also pro-marriage and supports protecting marriage from those who seek to redefine it to suit a narrow political agenda. While John McCain opposed the Federal Marriage Amendment, J.D. Hayworth knows that defending marriage, and ensuring its survival as the fundamental building block of society, is a critical task.
Judges
One of the most critical votes a U.S. Senator gets to cast is to confirm the men and women who get to sit on the bench. Judges are our last line of defense against the tyranny of the government and it is critical that we appoint strict constitutionalists who defend the Constitution and the rights enshrined therein.
That’s why conservatives were so disappointed when John McCain led the so-called ‘Gang of 14’ that scuttled so many of President Bush’s conservative nominees. When liberal Democrats were sabotaging these qualified men and women, conservative Republicans banded together to defend them and attempt to confirm them. But they were betrayed by a handful of Republicans, led by John McCain, who ‘reached across the aisle’ to compromise away the conservative nominees.
As our U.S. Senator, J.D. Hayworth will never forget that his oath is to defend our Constitution, and there is no better way than to confirm strict constitutionalists to the bench at every level in the country.
Illegal Immigration
A national leader in the fight to secure our borders, J.D. Hayworth has actually ‘written the book’ on the subject, ‘Whatever It Takes’. When John McCain proposed his Amnesty Plan—the Heritage Foundation said it would cost taxpayers $2.6 Trillion—J.D. Hayworth stood up and fought against it. Taking on a U.S. Senator with nearly 30 years of seniority took courage, but J.D. understood that our economy could not survive the long-term effects of the McCain-Kennedy plan, and that encouraging millions of people to break our laws was a recipe for disaster.
J.D. has led the fight for real border security, interior enforcement, and requiring that law enforcement enforce our laws and protect our citizens. It is no surprise that he has been endorsed by great leaders like Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and State Senator Russell Pearce.
Comparing The Candidates
J.D. Hayworth helped write the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003. John McCain voted against them and denounced them as ‘tax cuts for the wealthy.’
J.D. Hayworth opposed TARP. John McCain was a key vote for the measure. In fact, former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said that ‘We wouldn’t have gotten TARP done if John McCain hadn’t been supportive of it.’ McCain wanted to go even further, proposing an additional $300 Billion to buy up all of the bad debts, leaving the taxpayers to pay for the mistakes of others.
J.D. Hayworth opposed the auto bailouts. John McCain supported them.
J.D. Hayworth opposes Cap & Trade legislation and rejects phony climate change data. John McCain co-wrote the McCain-Lieberman Cap & Trade bill.
J.D Hayworth opposes amnesty for illegal aliens and has a long record of fighting to secure our borders and enforce our laws. John McCain co-wrote the McCain-Kennedy Amnesty bill that the Heritage Foundation estimated would cost the taxpayers $2.6 Trillion.
J.D. Hayworth believes that a vigorous political debate is vital to the long-term health of our nation, and that free speech is the cornerstone of our Constitutional Republic. John McCain co-wrote the McCain-Feingold legislation that placed a gag order on groups like the National Rifle Association and National Right to Life. This legislation was largely struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court because it constituted a direct assault on the first amendment rights of Americans. McCain was ‘disappointed’ by the outcome.
J.D. Hayworth supported the Federal Marriage Amendment and believes it is critical that marriage be protected from those who would redefine it. John McCain voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment.
J.D. Hayworth supports the appointment and confirmation of conservative, strict constitutionalists, as judges. John McCain led the Gang of 14 that blocked the confirmation of just these kinds of judges. Yet John McCain voted to confirm Eric Holder as Attorney General of the United States?
J.D. Hayworth is a proven, consistent conservative, with a lifetime rating of 98 from the American Conservative Union. John McCain’s lifetime rating is 81 and dropping. McCain’s score last year was an abysmal 63. And while John McCain falsely claims that J.D. Hayworth is a big spender, he ignores the fact that J.D. Hayworth has a better lifetime rating from Citizens Against Government Waste than does McCain.”
One of the problems a conservative Republican has running against a RINO—Republican In Name Only—Republican, who is already in office, is that the Republican Party leadership automatically, it seems, supports the RINO. That was true in the Arlen Specter race in 2004, it was true when RINO Congressman Mark Kirk ran for the Senate from Illinois earlier this year, and it is true for John McCain for the Arizona primary tomorrow.
The polls, from what I can tell, have John McCain with a large lead. However, as I’ve said many times, polls have never voted in an election. It is up to the voters to get to the voting booth and vote. Turnout is a very important part of any election and that is particularly true in primaries because of the historically low turnouts. Don’t let a small minority select the Republican Party’s candidate tomorrow. Vote!
Two RINO’s are running for Senate nominates tomorrow. Lisa Murkowski in Washington against Joe Miller and John McCain in Arizona against J. D. Hayworth. Both RINO’s are favored to win according to conventional wisdom. In all cases though, the voter will actually decide the candidate. Not polls. Not endorsements. Not incumbency. Not money spent. Not lies told. Vote tomorrow and vote tomorrow based upon the issues and the positions of the candidates.
T. A.: Thanks for calling! I hope you vote for J.D. Hayworth tomorrow.
