Big Government Huckster John McCain’s bitter, clingy $21 million primary fight; Update: Election night results; Meghan McCain taunts Hayworth
Scroll for multi-state primary election results…
I have watched and listened to many establishment Republicans and TV talking heads deride GOP Senate candidate J.D. Hayworth as a “clown,” “charlatan,” and a “huckster.”
I have watched and listened to many purported “Tea Party” spokespeople and limited-government lobbyists defend entrenched GOP Senate incumbent John McCain as a “conservative” “hero” who will shrink government and defend our borders.
Hayworth was far from a perfect candidate. But there is no bigger clown, charlatan, and huckster Republican serving on Capitol Hill than four-term, 24-year Big Government fixture John McCain.
After burning through a whopping $21 million in campaign funds to hold on to his seat, McCain is poised to claim a primary election victory over Hayworth tonight.
Some victory.
To stave off Hayworth, the reborn conservative McCain not only had to throw $21 million down the drain. He had to thrown his own old “maverick” self off the bus, start talking like Tom Tancredo, appear on cable news non-stop, disavow all his good friends in the “Eastern press” whose approbation he thrives on in off-election years, and pander shamelessly to the grass-roots conservative base that he has despised, undermined, and spurned for more than two decades.
McLame stubbornly refused to admit his own individual responsibility for supporting the pre-socialization of the economy started under George W. Bush and continued under Obama. Fellow Republicans whitewashed McCain’s fiscal irresponsibility record, including his support for:
*The $700 billion all-purpose, earmark-stuffed TARP bailout;
*The $25 billion auto bailout;
*The $300 billion mortgage entitlement bailout; and
*The $85 billion AIG bailout; and
*The costly, intrusive, junk science-fueled Climate Change agenda.
McNasty attacked Hayworth with more verve and vitriol than he ever could muster up for that “decent man” that “you don’t have to be scared of” — Barack Obama.
The most notorious Johnny-come-lately on border security in Washington, McAmnesty couldn’t get enough of the very same fences he openly cursed in front of open-borders crowds.
His cynical embrace of Arizona’s SB1070 enforcement law fooled no one who is fully informed about his radical, sovereignty-sabotaging ties.
Flashback January 2008: Remember?
Shamnesty peddler John McCain taps former Mexican government official/shamnesty advocate Juan Hernandez as his presidential campaign Hispanic Outreach Director.
Hernandez is a fellow at McCain’s “Reform Institute.” What has he been working on there for the past year?
“Dr. Juan Hernandez serves as a Senior Fellow of the Institute’s Comprehensive Immigration Reform Initiative.”
That is: Shamnesty.
Among the immigration projects at McCain’s Reform Institute: An art contest in which students depicted their protests against a southern border fence.
The winner on the American side of the border?
Here:
The grand prize winner incorporated the specious open-borders propaganda comparing our fence to keep trespassers out to the Berlin Wall designed to wall people in:
Is this what McCain believes in his heart, too? No wonder he cursed the “goddamned fence.”
The Reform Institute is a tax-exempt, supposedly independent 501(c)(3) group, as Ed Morrissey noted two years ago, “that employs Rick Davis, who also works on McCain’s staff as his chief political advisor, and they pay him $110,000 per year. The Reform Institute has often supported McCain, paid for events highlighting him and his agenda, presumably including campaign finance reform.” The Reform Institute received $200,000 in donations from Cablevision…and McCain basically tried to intervene on Cablevision’s behalf by writing a letter to the FCC supporting its regulatory agenda. Morrissey noted at the time: “[T]he Reform Institute helps keep McCain’s staff gainfully employed between campaigns, allowing McCain to do less fundraising while retaining the best of the available talent. For instance, Carl Hulse and Ann Kornblut note that Rick Davis managed McCain’s presidential campaign in 2000 before founding Reform Institute. Now its president, he gets over $100,000 a year from RI for “consulting services”. That money allows Davis to remain available for McCain’s future campaigns, and the funding he raises for RI gives him inroads for building support.”
Yep. Which is exactly how it worked out. Davis is now McCain’s campaign manager.
Here’s the 990 form for the Reform Institute, filed in 2003, listing Davis and his “consulting fees:”
Who funded the Reform Institute, which boasts Juan “Think Mexico First” Hernandez as its resident amnesty fellow? The donor list is a who’s who of ultra left-wing, open borders elites. Again, via Ed Morrissey’s research:
* The Tides Foundation, which heavily promotes “reproductive justice”, giving over $500,000 to pro-abortion efforts. They also actively oppose the death penalty (so do I, FYI). John McCain opposes abortion and supports the death penalty, so why is his chief political advisor getting so much support from those who ostensibly oppose him?
* Educational Foundation Of America, which also supports abortion. EFA also opposes drilling in ANWR, an issue on which McCain has an ambivalent record. It also supports euthanasia and assisted suicide through the Death With Dignity National Center, a group which it gave $45,000. It gave $100,000 to the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability, which opposed the Yucca Mountain nuclear depository (McCain supported it), and opposes development of low-yield nuclear “bunker buster” bombs, which McCain supports.
In fact, EFA appears to contribute to just about every left-wing cause imaginable, as well as a number of noncontriversial charities and outreach efforts.
* The Proteus Fund, which also opposed the Yucca Mountain repository, spending $75K to stop it. That pales in comparison to the $935K they spent on supporting gay marriage initiatives, which McCain strongly opposes. They have also spent over $800,000 funding nuclear-disarmament and antiwar causes in each of the last two years. Their Security Policy Working Group contains nothing but left-of-center groups like Project on Defense Alternatives, which calls the Iraqi elections “faulty” and predicted disaster for the Bush administration’s “program of coercive transformation throughout the region.”
* OSI (Open Society Institute), founded and funded by George Soros. Among a litany of left-wing causes supported by OSI are People For The American Way, to support their Supreme Court Project. (Hint: It isn’t intended on assisting Bush get his nominees confirmed.) They also gave $150,000 to the Campaign Legal Center, which will be important shortly.
* David Geffen Foundation also shows up on the list, although not in the top tier. David Geffen is an entertainment-industry mogul who supports Democrats and left-wing causes. They do not have a website I could find, but Activistcash.com notes that in 2002, most of the grants Geffen gave went to environmental activists and the Tides Foundation and Tides Center.
Via Discover the Networks, you’ll see that Soros’s OSI is a key open borders funder–providing support to the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund; the Immigrant Legal Resource Center; the National Immigration Law Center; the National Immigration Forum; the National Council of La Raza; and the American Immigration Law Foundation.
Remind me again which party’s presidential nomination John McCain is running for?
Alas, after years of McCain’s progressive Left dalliances, the Republican Party is still in the throes of McCain Regression Syndrome.
If there is any silver lining at all, it is that somewhere out there in Arizona are dissatisfied non-politicians — business owners, school board moms, taxpayer activists — who will jump into the public arena at the local and state level for the first time to fill the limited government leadership vacuum that has produced the GOP’s McCain Muddle.
Hurry, please.
***
Update: Big turnout in Florida. Hot Air has election night results.
Update: Turnout in Arizona is light. Voters are depressed by bad choices and political posturing.
Sigh. Indeed.
Update: Rick Scott wins GOP gubernatorial nomination. Rep. Kendrick Meek wins Democrat senate nomination. Marco Rubio clinches GOP senate nomination. More:
Nominating contests in five states — Vermont also was voting, and Oklahoma held GOP runoffs — highlighted dominant themes of this unpredictable election year, including anti-establishment anger and tea party challenges from the right. But the early results indicated that if there was a single pattern to the night, it was the lack of one.
…In big-name races elsewhere, Sens. John McCain and Lisa Murkowski counted on voters to reward political experience as they faced spirited Republican primary challenges in Arizona and Alaska 10 weeks before the general election.
Nominating contests in five states — Vermont also was voting, and Oklahoma held GOP runoffs — highlighted dominant themes of this unpredictable election year, including anti-establishment anger and tea party challenges from the right.
As the first polls of the night closed, Meek toppled Greene, a big-spending real estate tycoon whose links to boxer Mike Tyson and former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss drew headlines, in the Democratic Senate nomination fight. The four-term congressman will compete against Republican Marco Rubio, who easily secured the GOP nod, and Gov. Charlie Crist, a former Republican who is running as an independent, in November.
Update 11:24pm Eastern McCain declared winner by AP, CNN — 30 point lead over Hayworth and Deakin. Won’t be long now before he starts trashing the Right again. 3, 2, 1…
Lovely: Meghan McCain taunts Hayworth…

I live in AZ. I voted for hayworth because he was the lesser of two evils, but I was very disenheartened by our local tea party inability to find someone OTHER than hayworth or deakin to run against the RINO. I will not vote in the senate race.
Disappointing. McClame win. Light voter turn out. I hope this isn’t what we see in the rest of the nation, it will be the kiss of death for our great nation, a self-inflicted shot to the head.
The price paid for not having a clear alternative and underestimating an experienced, entrenched opponent.
Don’t get carried away. We are not moving to the right every day. The republicans at best act like a speed bump while the nation moves more leftward by the decade.
Thirty years ago when the so-called moral majority voters started to back the republicans, their main concern was overturning Roe. Not only has that not happened, they are now losing other cultural battles that weren’t even foreseen then such as gay marriage, gays in the military, and removal of Christmas break from most schools. Culturally the nation is on a leftward tilt.
The republicans of today would not even be recognizable to Barry Goldwater. They have become democrat-lite in pushing for No Child Left Behind, Prescription Drug Benefits and Amnesty. The republicans can’t even express their opposition to mass immigration. They have to say they oppose illegal immigration while wholeheartedly supporting legal immigration. No mention whatsoever is made to the main issue which is ‘mass’ immigration.
Yes, the public is concerned with the state of affairs and the party in power will probably lose at the polls. But don’t mistake this for a rightward tilt. I doubt the republicans if given another chance will repeal Obamacare, the 1965 Immigration Act, the 1990 Immigration Lotto, and abolish the Education Department, etc. Government has grown big and will remain big. All the republicans can or will do is fight a delaying action. But inevitably the march is towards the left.
Oh, bull.
The alternative was clearly JD. And we all knew it was an uphill battle against an entrenched opponent.
JD lost because the voters of Arizona liked the way McCain lying to them one more time made them feel.
They could pretend this time he really won’t hit them ….. er, vote with the left again.
The voters voted stupidly. We’ve learned absolutely nothing from the consequences of voting stupidly in 2008.
I would not limit it to “culturally” – I would include morally and economically (and probably a host of other categories too)
For those who say we are “the sky is falling” types, I would respond that when we see massive evidence that the country is headed leftward and downward, not stating is is foolish and plays right into the hands of the left. Stating the facts does not make us defeatist….rather it ought help focus our defense and actions.

yes and no…
All you have to do is watch a couple segments of Leno’s “Jay Walking” to know what kind of tilt we’re on… not exactly a tilt, more a steep freefall into the abyss of ignorance…
which of course leaves us a nation of sheeple open to being preyed upon by leftist idealogues in power like Obummer, who was elected simply because he had a baritone voice, pearly whites and he was black …
One bright light this morning: Joe Miller appears to have beaten Lisa Murkowski for the Senate nomination in Alaska.
That’s a Big One. If it holds. There still may be a recount.
It would be better in the long run if McCain lost the seat in the general election. If we have to give up a seat, that would be a top choice. That way he’s out of the picture and we have a better chance of getting a conservative elected in AZ.
McCain is poison to the right. On big issues, when an election pandering session isn’t going on as it is now, he votes with the left.
If we could be sure McCain won’t be the 51st Republican Senator, the one we need to get control of the Senate’s leadership positions/chairmanships, I would agree we’d be better off without him.
You need to reseach Hayworth’s voting record when he was in Congress. It’s pretty depressing. Unfortunately, for him the people of AZ knew it. The 2007 informercial just killed him. Glenn Beck saw the informercial and said, “Hayworth’s campaign is over.” I think that had a lot to do with the light turn out.
Sounds like the guy who said, “The police acted stupidly.”
People in AZ knew both men and concluded they had a choice between Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber. Many stayed home. Others, not politically involved listened to the adds.
Lessons learned for the next time.
A confirmed Joe Miller win is a positive. And max, you are correct; The ill informed, un-washed masses are a large part of our nation’s problems.
I agree Happy. She’s riding on her dad’s fame and her mom’s money.
You are completely wrong. In this case sending the message was critical.
And there’s no way JD’s record involved anything like leading the charge to limit political speech (McCain-Feingold) and open the borders (McCain-Kennedy).
McCain just had enough money to make people feel that way.
McCain fought harder against JD in the primaries than he did in the Presidential Election. Where did the 21 million come from? Is it a reward for being the sacrificial lamb to Obama? McCain IS the reason Obama is president.
This is why we don’t trust Republicans. They show this contempt for independents and have this like it or lump it type attitude. Arizona has a corrupt Republican party that goes back to the Phoenix 40 (of which Mc Cain is a part). It is a group of elitist who have no regard for the common man.
The choice between a one trick pony, and a wobbly rino is a damn shame choice. JD beats McCain on immigration, and McCain SAYS all the right things on most other subjects.
“Arizona has a corrupt Republican party”
The entire Republican Party in AZ is corrupt?
Hayworth voted for the Bush Prescription Drug Benefit. McCain voted against it. He said it was physically irresponsible. He got that one right. Until Obama the largest entitlement expansion since Medicare itself.
Again not defending McCain. Just pointing out Hayworth was NOT the conservative you think he was.
One thing I have noted, which I hope is a shift for the better is the attitude among GOP Senators. My “reach across the aisle GOP Senator” has stopped that all together. He finally realized that the Democrats he knew no longer existed and he was dealing with a group with a totally different value set.
While I am not optimistic, there is a chance that some of the GOP Senators have discovered the shift on the other side of the aisle and will adjust. We’ll see…….
“who say we are “the sky is falling”
types”
No one is “saying” it. You are sky is falling types.
Doom and gloom all over you chicken little club’s postings.
Time to move on and get busy for November.
What i would like to see out of McCain is for him to act more conservative, like most of us here are promoting.
HOWEVER, the BIG CONCERN is that he doesn’t reach across the frickin’ aisle again. The demonuts didn’t acquiesce any control, but had the repubs giving ground away toward an amiable agreement.
STOP IT!!!! STOP IT NOW!!!! There needs to be a Strong Repub caucus in the Senate who will reign in these a$$hats, most notably, McShame.
SHAME on the voters of Arizona!!! No longer can we question the re-election of GRAHAMNESTY… We now must bear our own disgrace… The best chance to retire OL’ JUAN for the last time, and we squandered it… The main question is how long before OL’ JUAN decides to take out his form of VENGEANCE on the nearly 1/3 of the voters who disrespected him??? How long before OL’ JUAN, once again becomes “THE MAVERICK”??? How long before OL’ JUAN becomes the “RINO” we all know him to be, and joins hands with a new LIB in the SENATE, and sponsors another “IT AIN’T AMNESTY” bill??? My guess is about 6 months after the January opening of the new CONGRESS… Once more, SHAME on all the voters in Arizona!!!
Sooooo….pointing out facts is forbidden and gets one labeled a “sky is falling” person.
Cool
Not only am I racist, now I’m “sky is falling”
Isn’t that really the most important issue? Social spending policies can be bad, but opening up the borders to all comers with family reunification will turn a bad social spending policy like Obamacare into a catastrophic disaster.
I’ll give Mcamnesty this, He knows how to play the game and pull the wool over the eyes of his constituents. I’m very disappointed the republicans in Arizona didn’t see through his lies and convenient shift to the right and send him packing. What is the over/under on the number of times he reaches across the aisle the next 6 years? I’ll take the over.
jsm,
I’ve asked you this before and didn’t get an answer so I’ll ask again.
If JD was such a crappy candidate why did you vote for him? (allegedly)
I’m not picking on you I’m just curious
Well hopefully he will start having real memory lapses and forget his liberal past and will no longer recognize his cohorts: Graham and Lieberman.
BTW: Notice how Lieberman campaigned for McCain, yet supports the Dems and helps defeat filibusters.
Peas in a pod, Mister P.
Yep. That’s us. We’re bigoted, intolerant, chicken little racists who want to mangle the Constitution by demanding our politicians simply denounce a victory mosque muslims want to build on property destroyed by mass murderers in the name of Islam.
Democrats have something seriously wrong with the way their brains are wired. And guys like jsm appear to have the same defect.
The best thing we can say about this debacle is that it cost McLame $21 mill to run in a primary (who in their right mind does that????) so much for “McCain Feingold”! and we made a huge liar out of him. He was forced to the right like NEVER before, was made to pull out all the anti-illegal rhetoric he never wanted to say, and we have brought him to his knees on that issue. Bet he went home and threw up every time he had to make the “I never voted for amnesty” speech.
We just watched the AZ Rep party kowtow to the McCain Machine and we are all wiser for it. This whole election process was dirtier than imaginable!!
Perhaps the only answer to McCain is to hope he goes native again and support his recall. It would be wierd that a guy who has just won re-election would be immediately re-called less than a year, but McCain would be the poster child of that, and Arizona would in the end have teh opportunity for a CLEAR CHOICE WHICH THEY DID NOT HAVE IN THIS ELECTION CYCLE, IF HE IS RECALLED.
The above is counterintuitive thinking, but it is possible. Keep in mind turnout was LIGHT for McCain v. Hayworth. I expect a recall drive would in the end not result in a light turnout.
This is disappointing to say the least. I can’t believe the Arizona citizenry didn’t vote Mr. Amnesty out, particularly with all the momentum of SB 1070. From now on, they get what they deserve. Jan Brewer and Sheriff Joe might as well retire. To hell with the immigration laws. Full speed ahead with sanctuary city status, open borders and gangs. What a waste and it could have been prevented with just a little bit of smart campaigning and reruns of McCain’s comments over the past few years.
And Harry Reid will defeat Sharon Angle for the exact same reasons. Money and entrenched incumbancy.
A Harry Reid win will be worse because he was a leader of all the bad things done in Washington for the past 4 years. Reelecting the leader of that crapola will be tantamount to endorsing it. Especially, since he is a state leader not just a small congressional district like San Fran Nan is.
We can live with McCain. We can not live with Reid and Pelosi as leaders with a pat on the back for all their great work.
“I’ve asked you this before and didn’t get an answer so I’ll ask again.”
Answered before and answered already in my post in this thread.
So who is calling you chicken little types racists and bigots?
And just wondering if you think that kind of hyperbole helps dismiss your chicken little mindset?
A Marxist community organizer.
A LIGHT turnout in Arizona? Are you freaking kidding me?
We should really leave Meghan McCain alone. It must be tough having a father who went nuts in Nam, a mother who’s addicted to prescription drugs, and John McCain’s black love child for a sister.
This and the result in Alaska are powerful evidence Palin dominates the Tea Party. Her McCain endorsement kept the tea partiers at home.
She’s responsible for McCain now. If he reverts to form, she should be called on it.
Why would that be tough on her? Surely you lefties have more compassion than that.
Its becoming obvious that the people of this country have not reached the pain threshold just yet. Perhaps when unemployment reaches 80-95% more will begin to wake up. Maybe Obama will be reelected.
BTW RedState – for all his political blunders, you aren’t fit to carry McCain’s jockstrap when it comes to what he endured in Nam.
Care to point out that post?
Thanks in advance
You should thank God you never had to endure what this man did during that war, that is, if you believe in God. Disparage his Senate work all you want, there is much to disparage, but you have no license to make fun of his torture.
You would not have endured 5 minutes of the 5 years John McCain endured in North Vietnam.
Therefore, you have not earned the right to comment on his service.
Rogue,
Give yourself a Hooooah!
And two beers a day since you’re in the field.

Red State Septic: up yours loser.
Don’t fret, y’all, I’m just mocking Karl Rove’s push polls against McCain in 2000. I have nothing but respect and admiration for what the man did before he entered politics. Since then, that’s another story all together.
JSM: You have yet to show that the country is “moving to the right”. My pointing out that my observations indicate to me that the county seems not to be doing so apparently warrants being called a “chicken little type”.
At this point, you have stooped to the level of liberal discourse: When you can’t refute or even debate the substance of a position, resort to name calling.
That being said, I retract my post.
Hat tip.
Sad but true 11B. As long as people think they can get something for nothing, the trend will continue. And when the country collapses, these same losers will be crying “Viva revolucion! Get the evil Democrat Marxists!” Those are the first ones I’d be happy to take on before any ardent Communist.
‘Zona is going to regret sending McCain back to DC.
A sad day for Arizona and a worse one for America. McCain is recognized as the typical RINO. He runs like hell to the right, and once elected runs like hell to the left.
I’m more disappointed in this thread than I am with the Arizona primary!
Maybe I’m wrong and some of you just want to let off steam for a short while but some of you are acting like we are defeated. KOS and Huff love reading this.
Please don’t give up the fight and try to keep your pi$$ing and moaning to a minimum. Why give the enemy ammo???
Maybe so. I sometimes forget most people need reassurance. They want to be with the ‘Strong Horse.’
Anyway, if McCain hasn’t changed, we’ll be able to take it out on Palin.
Either we got another conservative Senator, or we’ve eliminated a dangerous Trojan Horse.
So it’s all good.
Some tongue in cheek, I’m sensing? Or maybe you are referring to the Dems who need the reassurance that they could still win if we lose our steadfastness.
To move our country back to the right we will have to be tenacious. Heard something cool on radio today by GBeck. A (not to be taken literally here) phrase: don’t bring a gun unless you plan to kill.
Maybe a bit, but the concept is serious. Their alliance now has them both tied to behaving in a tea party way, politically.
Every anti-tea party vote McCain makes from here on in is a slap by McCain on Sarah’s face. And she can’t just turn the other cheek without angering her base.
Like I said, it’s all good.
I think we’re all in for a big disappointment in November. Even if the “R’s” score a big win, we’re still on the road to third-world 5hitho1e. McCain may not be piloting the ship, but he’s definately part of the crew steering us there. NOTHING will be fixed or reversed – we’re in too deep.
The reason why McCain didn’t fight to win in 2008 was because he didn’t want to be president. He either genuinely wanted the kenyan to win, or he was afraid of riots or racial backlash against him if he actually won.
But he WANTS to keep his senate seat, so he’s actually fighting for that.
McCain’s win in this primary has confirmed to the RNC that America loves RINO’s. Those of you who on this site have continued to say “Let’s just vote for him, and when he’s elected we’ll hold his feet to the fire”, you better be putting on your asbestos gloves, ’cause you’ve got a LOT of foot holding to do now!
I voted for McCain in ’08, but not in the primary. Personally I dont know anyone who DID vote for him in the primary, but that’s another subject. I voted for him in the general, then went home and wept (seriously) because I knew that it didn’t matter who won, that our country was lost.
Nothing will be done to reverse this runaway train, not in 2011, 2012 or ever – not without true revolution. We have no true representation in government. The RNC is in bed with the DNC – they’re one and the same. The candidates they throw at us are the same. Even the socalled good guys like DeMint. You might see him voting against this socialist agenda, but he’s not actively fighting against it. He’s only voting against it because they’re ALLOWING him to. They’ve got big enough majorities without Republican votes, so they don’t need them. But believe me – if they need the votes, they’ll be there. DeMint still talks like the Republicans are the REAL opposition – THEY’RE NOT! They’re ALL progressives! Their goals are the same, and the sooner we accept that, the sooner we can at least TRY to stop them.
Where’s the Tylenol?
Depressing post roadrage.
Can’t say I disagree though.
A Christmas vacation reset…SWEET!
Or just claim you have.
