Amnesty an issue in AZ GOP primary

Senator McCain (R-Arizona)J.D. Hayworth (Arizona)The head of an immigration enforcement PAC believes Arizona Senator John McCain will be defeated in the GOP primary if he supports a Senate amnesty proposal.



When J.D. Hayworth was in the U.S. House, he made a name for himself as an unwavering opponent of illegal immigration, but he was defeated for re-election in 2006. Now presenting himself as "the consistent conservative," he is trying to end the 24-year career of fellow Republican John McCain by challenging him in the August GOP Senate primary.

William Gheen, president of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) -- who has been a firm critic of McCain, particularly on the issue of illegal immigration -- thinks Hayworth has a great shot at beating McCain.

William Gheen (ALIPAC)"Right now I believe J.D. Hayworth is very likely to defeat John McCain in the primary," the ALIPAC president comments. "If John McCain co-signs the amnesty bill -- along with Lindsey Graham and Senator Schumer, Democrat from New York -- as he has promised to do, then J.D. Hayworth will certainly beat John McCain. He will move from likely to certain, and McCain's people know this. They're scared to death of J.D. Hayworth. That's why they've been abusing him and attacking him."

Gheen believes that even if McCain does not sign on to the Senate amnesty bill, Hayworth is still likely to defeat him in the primary, so he says the McCain campaign is hesitant to have him endorse the bill right now.

We really need a few good men. Well, more than a few, but character and integrity seem hard to find sometimes. And politicians free of special interest chains are hard to find.

We have been left with choosing between the lesser of two evils too many times. McCain must go.

Psalm 91

Hayworth's record opposing any sort of treats for those here illegally seems to be so long, there should really be no question about his beliefs.
Didn't McCain say on the presidential campaign trail something like: I get it -- close the borders first" ? And that was after he was all for amnesty with his numerous bills in the Senate.
McCain speaks the way political winds blow, but he does not realize that the American people are not stupid and not fooled by pretty talk. Past actions speak louder than today's empty words.

McCain should have said "I get it, close the borders first and last, Americans first and foremost, always and forever."

Kick his bum to the curb Arizona. You don't owe him a thing. No one does. He's lived the Life of Riley every day since he came home. America has drowned him with money, privilege and power. You owe McCain, NOTHING, Arizona. Let him go. It's time to take care of America, not John McCain.

1 good Man or Woman, can do the work of 10 mediocre McCain's

GO J.D. Hayworth

I wonder how the immigration issue will figure into challenges against other incumbents? Enough of those would help put CIR on ice.

We ALL should be sending personal e-mails to our elected reps and telling them NO CIR !

Very true William.

I was thinking the same thing myself. If the Senate brings up Amnesty, it will need McShame's support in order for it to get the valuable "bipartisan" support that it may need to pass. If McShame does indeed suport it, then Hayworth will use it against him and blow him out in the primary.

McShame is in a crossroads. Support amnesty and go down to defeit. Or not support amnesty, see it go down to defeit in the Senate, and increase your chances of vicotry in a GOP primary.

We will see!

No to McCain. And deport all illegal aliens.
