You've almost got to pity Arizona's Republican primary voters.
In the Arizona Republican primary, voters can choose John McCain, a man who will say or do anything to hold onto his senate seat. A man incredibly stupid enough to inflict Sarah Palin on America -- a woman who is arguably dumber than George W. Bush -- as his running mate. A man who has sold out every principle he ever held to cling to power. A man who is currently kissing the collective asses of the tea baggers who hate his guts. It seems that McCain has become a man who would sell his soul for forty pieces of horse droppings. (And that's incredibly sad considering the man he once was.)

And speaking of horse droppings, the Arizona Republican's other choice is J.D. Hayworth, a man who might just be more insane than Glen Beck. Hayworth was a congressman from 1995 to 2007 and, although he never got a lot of notice, he was as crazy a son-of-a-bitch as the Republicans ever produced.(Google him to find out just how nuts he was in congress.) But his man/horse marriage really is as good an example as you'll find as to what this man is all about.

So you almost have to pity Arizona Republican voters. I say "almost" because I don't have one ounce of pity for any of them. They are being presented with a choice they deserve.

3. From Hayworth's website (He is a real piece of work!):

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.
