Well, his wife, anyway.
J.D. Hayworth is running ads using his wife to complain about John McCain attack ads. Perhaps he is training her in case he has to announce a law suit against a state.
The problem is that neither one of them truly represents a Republican form of government. While Hayworth arguably helped a company rip people off, John McCain approved of the Patriot act and the death of thousands of troop and the waste of billions—by some estimates a trillion, now—dollars in Afghanistan. A constitutional Republican would approve of neither. So much for John McCain’s “savings” on pork barrel spending.
The third candidate—whom Rasmussen Reports refers to as a “Tea Party Activist,” Jim Deakin—we will get a chance to learn about in the debates on July 16. Though there are some videos about him on youtube.com. According to the following video, Jim Deakin has made encouraging statements that he wants to end the Federal Reserve and the Department of Education allowing States to set up their own curriculum. With End the Fed day coming up in two days, I can certainly get behind that piece of his platform.
J.D. Hayworth’s statements at Tea Party meetings generally centers around how much he likes S.B. 1070 and not generally how he is going to stop big government—at least in the videos that I have seen. While he has experience in Washington, that experience was not really all that impressive.
A June 22 Rasmussen Reports poll shows McCain in the lead with 47%, Hayworth behind by 11 percent and Deakin receiving only 7%. This can probably be attributed to name recognition more than a result of critical thinking.
Deakin may be a viable third alternative if he expresses himself well in the debate. But I doubt they will cover the fact that all federal gun laws are unconstitutional1 or that the Federal Reserve, health care reform, Department of Education, Hate Crimes legislation, and so-forth, are all unconstitutional.
