Old man John McCain has been forced to go ON THE ATTACK in his race for re-election in Arizona, airing a new ad that calls his GOP opponent, J.D. Hayworth, a no-good “huckster.” That cute grandfatherly zinger is based on the fact that Hayworth has done a series of infomercials promising “free government money” to buyers of his “program,” which is obviously bogus, as it is promoted via infomercial. Will Arizonans be amazed that Hayworth is not the admirable professional they thought he was, or will this ad just be depressing because it shows McCain is being forced to admit he may actually lose to this inane conservative radio host? Yeah, it’s likely the former, as “huckster” is a really good BURN.
No worries, John. You can also get a job selling free government money on infomercials when Hayworth beats you!

Not everyone can get a beer-heiress wife to pay the bills, John McCain, lighten up.
Not only is that Hayworth infomercial a clear rip-off of the potential customers, it’s also looks to be ripped off of another famous infomercial huckster; and Hayworth doesn’t even have the cool Riddler-style question mark suit.
Ha Ha Ha. I love watching Walnuts! squirm. The stupid skylarker who brought us the snowbilly grifter might lose his senate seat. Democracy is sometimes very fucking sweet.
J.D. Hayworth: Trollop?
Love that faux-Charlton Heston voice. God hates hucksters!!
Good gravy, are there still more primaries to go? Or since this is Arizona maybe the general election is just a bunch of Republicans running against each other, I don’t know. I’m sure the heat and accumulated scorpion venom eventually take their toll on one’s sanity.
Two words of advice, John: Sham Wow.
LESKO FOR SENATE!
JD Hayworth should just claim that he’s adopted the polygamist “bleeding the beast” strategy.

[re=606015]Katydid[/re]: Let’s not give Vince any ideas. Meth Chop needs to stick to what he does best–hoovering cash from the pockets of gullible insomniacs. And beating hookers. You know, now that I think about it, he kind of DOES have the proper resume for a sunbelt governor, or at least a state senator.
Shouldn’t he be pointing out the hypocrisy of shilling for a company that tells people how they can get $$$ from the government, despite being a tea bagger who supposedly thinks it’s time to cut government spending?
[re=606024]edgydrifter[/re]: CHECK OUT MY NUTS!!!
Almost two whole years and I’m STILL not tired of that animated GIF.
I just think it’s great that he used the antiquated term “huckster,” which of course speaks volumes about his target demographic of angry dead white voters.
[re=606025]Sue[/re]: That’s a little too complicated and nuanced for your average Arizona teabagger.
JD Hayworth sounds like the name of an evil farmer in some sort of animated hit picture about resilient and scrappy farm animals.
His second chakra hasn’t been released in years.
Thisisgoodnewsforjohnmccainzzzzzz…zzz…zzz…zzz…
He promoted Snowbunny Grifter into the National Arena. During a debate, he pointed at Obama and said “That one!” He’s been caught referring to his wife in the most impolite terms. So bring on the humiliation.
“Attorneys general?” Only an educated elitist like Nobama would say that! RINO!
[re=606025]Sue[/re]: No; teabaggers have no problem with government money that benefits them, they’re just against it going to, you know, those people.
[re=606032]Jimb[/re]: It’s like when he called his wife a trollop (and a cunt, but that’s more modern). McCain’s certainly doing his part to help his image as old and out of touch.
I’m surprised it took McCain’s campaign this long to pull out the scammer card. Sadly, it probably doesn’t make much of a difference to Hayworth’s core support which is retarded. McCain’s support, on the other hand is suffering from senile dementia and they’re the ones who actually vote.
I, for one, think Walnuts is just the cat’s pajamas for protecting us from those hucksters, by cracky.
Senility or retardation, that is the question.
[re=606056]lionboy[/re]: But the retarded and senile are the main customers of infomercial hacks; and still don’t realize when they’ve been scammed. All those retired Arizonans are still waiting for that FREE MONEY!! TO PAY YOUR BILLS!!! that Hayworth promised them.
One of the most interesting parts of this is that Mr. Hayworth found out about the opportunity to earn money from the infomercial from J.C. Watts.
Mr. Watts and his wife Frankie have a “Foundation” that appears to collect money but isn’t very forthcoming about what it does with the funds collected. Last time I checked, there weren’t any financial disclosures on its website. I’ve written and asked for them – no response to date.
Thanks for taking the spotlight off Sharron Angle, AZ.
If “character matters”, the voters of Arizona would be well-advised to stay home and find a candidate that has some to run a write-in campaign in the general election.
[re=606007]Advocatus_Diaboli[/re]: I wish you were right. But I haven’t even seen a Hayworth ad on Tucson television in about three months. I think he’s out of money, something that will never happen to any hubby of Sweet Cindy. Meanwhile WALNUTS! has giant billboards promising “border security” at every corner, signs on every other house, robocalls, etc., etc. And his VERY slick TV ads — running 24/7 — are narrated by the guy who took over the City Confidential job when Paul Winfied died, so they’re very enticing.
Since my college days, I’d thought the history of politics followed the Hegelian Dialectic (fuck it, I’m not sure I remember how it’s spelled) but was beginning to give up on a leftward swing until Hopey’s election. It’s a new day in America. Or not.
Maybe what Hopey needs is for every g**ddam bat shit crazy Teabagging fucking wingnut to win–maybe those fucking morons who are “independents” will finally get the Bejusus scared out of them. If that’s possible.
I’m already scared shitless, but I’m smart and well educated, so I don’t count.
Jesus, didn’t Arizona vote yet in this Republican Death Match??? Really, as much as I hate Walnuts for foisting Trig’s Mom on us, JD Hayworth is just a total Lizard Satan Creature.
[re=606045]Sara Benincasa[/re]: Hey, she’s listed as an editor. Can they do that?
[re=606082]JMP[/re]: Seriously. For anyone who has ever perused a copy of The Newsmax, in an elderly person’s home, you know that it’s not just great articles on Obama’s Maoist Czars! You’ll also find “5 Easy Ways To Lower Your Blood Sugar,” “Penny Stock Set To Soar Now,” and “Doctor Reveals One Prescription Drug That Fights Colon Cancer.”
Old Republicans and their money are easily parted!
“Character matters….except for Vice Presidential nominees”
[re=606158]Fox n Fiends[/re]: ““Character matters….except for Vice Presidential nominees””
Character matters, unless you’re John McCain.
This sand showdown happens Aug. 10th so make sure you take the next day off. A liveblogging/drinking night for the ages!!
Or the aged.
[re=606018]Mad Brahms[/re]: Seriously; after this, I’m hoping someone who knows how to use Photoshop (ie not me) can create an image of Hayworth in one of Lesko’s Riddler suits. Especially if he wins the nomination.
And what the fuck, Arizona, it’s almost the end of June, primary season is over, how can you not have had yours yet?
Why does J. D. Hayworth want to give away Jeebus’ money to the poors?
The ripoff of J.D. Hayworth’s ripoff was not of Lesko, but of the “No Money Down” scheme that was also a scam “seminar method” of the era. It promised to teach people to buy real estate and sell it instantly, building up infinite debts that are paid off by future sales — a sort of banker’s pyramid scheme, except that the schemer is definitely exposed. The “free money” was going to come from exploiting Fannie/Freddie.
Hey, how has that worked out? I seem to recall that being in the news with “bad” attached to it somehow.
The fact that McCain (and that .gif is the most disturbingly evil thing I’ve seen in a long time) can’t just speak to the issues shows what happens when you foster ignorance among your voters and depend on voters who think “I got mine, Jack” is in the Constitution.
Wait — McCain’s running against Matt Lesko?
[re=606019]SpenceRedux[/re]: “Within certain groups it is taught that “bleeding the beast” will assist God in destroying the “evil” U.S. government and is considered a righteous endeavor.”
Can we include all the teabaggers on social security as among those groups?
What? I thought they revoked Arizona’s statehood, already.
wait? john mccain was in the navy???? what??? now i wish i could vote for him back in 2008. fuck hopey, changey. that dude was a on a really big boat once upon a time.
He should have gone with rapscallion instead of huckster–less confusing for the olds.
When did Robert “Demon Sheep” Davi become the official voice of GOP attack ads? I keep expecting him to quote his famous “Must be weird not having anyone c*m on you” link from “Showgirls.” Maybe he’s saving that one for Palin’s 2012 presidential campaign.
Will Palin endorse J.D.? HEHNGH?
