Phoenix New Times: “J.D. Hayworth Re-Writes History Again In Latest Attempt To Criticize John McCain”

“Former Congressman J.D. Hayworth spoke at a campaign event in Marana last night and, as expected, he used the appearance to criticize his opponent in the GOP Senate primary, John McCain.
As you may have also expected, he muffed it up. … ‘Look at what the senator does, not what he says in sound bites for the media. Why hasn't he signed on as a co-sponsor to Senator Jim DeMint's bill to repeal ObamaCare? John McCain went to Washington to change it but Washington changed him,’ Hayworth said at the event.
If Hayworth wants to keep discussing things like World War II history, or John McCain's Congressional record, he may want to start doing some research because McCain is signed on to DeMint’s bill and has been since April 20.” – Phoenix New Times

Former Congressman J.D. Hayworth spoke at a campaign event in Marana last night and, as expected, he used the appearance to criticize his opponent in the GOP Senate primary, John McCain.
As you may have also expected, he muffed it up. Hayworth was discussing the federal healthcare bill that was signed into law earlier this year and questioned McCain's reluctance to co-sponsor a repeal of the law sponsored by South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint.
"Look at what the senator does, not what he says in sound bites for the media. Why hasn't he signed on as a co-sponsor to Senator Jim DeMint's bill to repeal ObamaCare? John McCain went to Washington to change it but Washington changed him," Hayworth said at the event.
If Hayworth wants to keep discussing things like World War II history, or John McCain's Congressional record, he may want to start doing some research because McCain is signed on to DeMint’s bill and has been since April 20.

"Congressman Hayworth is clearly desperate to change the subject from his support for billions in wasteful Washington spending, even if it means outright lying to Arizona voters," says McCain campaign spokesman Brian Rogers.
We spoke to Hayworth's campaign spokesman, Mark Sanders, who says he was unfamiliar with Hayworth's comments last night and asked we send him a copy. We emailed him a copy of Hayworth's comments but he never got back to us.

Leave it to the blowhard to lie, make up stories and do whatever it takes to try and get a foot in the door for this race. JD is pathetic, he remains sadly unethical and beyond unintelligent. JD is not qualified for a return to Congress.
