Recently, I had the distinct pleasure of interviewing former Arizona US Congressman J.D. Hayworth and current Conservative candidate for US Senator from Arizona. Congressman Hayworth is running against the liberal-progressive incumbent Sen. John McCain. The McCain machine is well-oiled and presents a formidable opponent to those who want to preserve the US Republic. However, J.D. believes the momentum for a resuscitation and reinstatement of the principles upon which our country was founded are with him and his campaign. Below is a candid interview of Conservative candidate J.D. Hayworth.

J.D. Hayworth BIO: Hayworth, John D., Jr., a Representative from Arizona; born in Highpoint, Guilford County, N.C., July 12, 1958; graduated from High Point Central High School, Highpoint, N.C., 1976; B.A., North Carolina State University, Raleigh, N.C., 1980; television journalist; radio journalist; elected as a Republican to the One Hundred Fourth and five succeeding Congresses (January 3, 1995-January 3, 2007). J.D. hosted a Phoenix drive time talk radio program from April 2007-January 2010 when he quit his popular show to run for the US Senate against liberal Republican candidate Sen. John McCain.

The Interview

Sher: First, thanks so much for taking the time to chat with me and for giving my readers an in-depth look at where you stand on the extreme issues now facing our country. You are up against Sen. McCain’s very powerful liberal and progressive money machine. Although there are a multitude of differences, please tell us some of the definitive ways in which your ideologies and actions would differ from your opponent and the ways in which you plan to win against McCain in the Arizona US Senate race.

J.D.: Sher, this is your classic conservative versus moderate race on virtually every issue. Whether the issue is taxes, spending, earmarks, protecting the 2nd Amendment, the sanctity of life, illegal immigration, or national security, John McCain has staked out positions that are to the left of most Arizonans. I am running to offer a consistent conservative voice for Arizona. In such a limited space it isn’t possible to list every single difference, but to quickly compare, my lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union is almost 98. McCain’s is 81 and falling. I helped write the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 that John McCain campaigned against. John McCain supported the massive bailouts and earmarks that I opposed, all $850+ Billion of them. McCain wrote the amnesty bill that the Heritage Foundation estimated would cost the taxpayers $2.6 Trillion (with a “Tâ€

Jim Deakin is running against McCain.

In fact, he joined the race over a year ago.

Jim does not come with the 'WA DC baggage' that both McCain and Hayworth drag with them.

You think there is a big difference between Hayworth and McCain?

The title of the article which started this thread is misleading, to say the least. J.D. Hayworth can hardly be described as a Conservative. When one reviews his record from when he was in Congress (1995 - 2006) there are numerous examples of him moving away from Conservatism, moving away from States rights and the concepts of limiting our governmental leviathan. Since having been voted out of Congress and replaced by Dem Harry Mitchell, he took to the radio airwaves in Phoenix espousing those values and ideologies, but it's extremely important for the concerned Arizona voter to remember that such words can have little substance behind them.
He certainly wasn't taking the Conservative line when he supported the failed No Child Left Behind legislation, or the Patriot Act.
He wasn't walking the Conservative line when he voted in 1996 for H.R. 2202 in support of continuing the ridiculous 'Chain Migration' system.
He wasn't much of a Constitutional Conservative when he voted to suspend the rules of the House and extend the amnesty provisions of Section 245 (i) which "did not deport illegal aliens once they applied for Section 245(i) and allowed them to remain in the U.S. for years until they were allowed to become official immigrants.
His record speaks volumes, not to mention his neck-deep involvement in the Jack Abramhoff scandal.
I have always respected the work of Sher Zieve, and I'm sure she is seeking out the other 'Sole AZ Conservative Candidate for US Senate" so she can interview him as well. Here, let me lend a hand in that effort:

I can assist further if necessary, and I will be happy to do so.

Mark Stein who fills in for Rush from time to time warned of this, that once you start down the road to socialism, the conservatives only fight is that they run the socialist agenda better than the socialists.
