America is in the midst of a raging cultural and spiritual war. Forces of Good, Light, Conservatism and a Judeo-Christian Worldview daily battle the forces of Evil, Darkness, Socialism, False Religions and Philosophies. A Good Choice is on the frontlines exposing evil across America’s political and social spectrum.
In Alaska I would love to see challenger Joe Miller beat down the incumbent Senator Lisa Murkowski, who is no conservative. Sarah Palin endorses Joe Miller. I think Miller has a good chance in this race.
In Arizona I would like to see either J.D. Hayworth or Jim Deakin upset incumbent Senator John McCain in the Republican primary election. Palin endorses McCain, proving she is very fallible.
Murkowskiand McCain are symptomatic of all that is wrong with the Republican Party - its left wing. Murkowski and McCain are symptomatic of all that is wrong with the Republicanwing Party. Neither are consistent conservatives, nor adhere to conservative principles. On many issues they are essentially Democrats.
The above is the first video in a series showing the debate between J.D. Hayworth, John McCain, and Jim Deakin for Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in Arizona. The links for parts 2-7 are below:
This debate is hilarious. Hayworth and McCain keep on bashing each other, but they barely pay any attention to anything Jim Deakin says. Every time Deakin pointed out that both Hayworth and McCain voted over and over again for unconstitutional bills, Hayworth would always change the subject (usually by attacking McCain). Neither of them made any attempt to use the Constitution to justify their votes.
The only thing that Hayworth could say against Deakin is that he is taking votes away from him so that McCain would win. McCain wisely refrained from attacking Deakin, because it is clear to see that he is right. Everybody laughed when McCain claimed that he didn’t vote for amnesty. McCain made some flimsy excuse for voting against the Bush tax cuts. (Technically he is right. You can’t cut taxes and increase spending at the same time. But McCain voted for very expensive bills himself so he has no right to complain about that.)
The only possible intelligent thing that Hayworth said in the debate was that Jacob Howard, the U.S. Senator who introduced the 14th amendment into the Senate, made statements indicating that the meaning of the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction [of the United States]” would not include illegal aliens. (This is a fact which I have not verified. It was a member of the House, John Bingham, who actually wrote the damn thing.)
When McCain and Hayworth were arguing about whose immigration plan was best, McCain pointed out that he could get things done--his bill passed, but Hayworth's didn't. But Deakin wisely pointed out that there has been enough immigration legislation. We only need to enforce the laws already on the books (but only the ones which are constitutional). Everything else about the illegal immigration issue is hogwash.
All through the debate, Deakin fumbled over his words. This was obviously because he was very nervous. Toward the end, after McCain actually stuttered a bit, Deakin said, “You just did that to make me feel better.” That was very clever and quick-witted. A good joke can loosen you up and help you overcome nervousness. The only real mistake Deakin made was saying that Hayworth would have voted for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (the bailouts).
I am not just endorsing Deakin because he is an underdog and not a Washington insider. He is clearly has the truth on his side. Congress has no authority to enact legislation if the power is not expressly delegated to it by the Constitution. This is crystal clear to anyone who has read the Constitution with an open mind. The tenth amendment says it all. McCain and Hayworth had absolutely no defense for their unconstitutional votes because there is no defense for them! All they could say is “you had better vote for me or the Obama agenda will continue” or they would list off their endorsements. Jim, on the other hand, is a 9/12 candidate, but he did not even mention this in debate. And despite the well-crafted question designed to discredit Deakin’s campaign by saying that the Tea Party wants him to quit because his campaign is costing Hayworth the election, several local Arizona Tea Party affiliates actually support Jim Deakin.
Thanks to Michael (aka Mox News, and formerly C-SpanJunkie and Earth2Obama) for posting this important debate on YouTube!
Hat tip goes to HotAirPundit for posting this new TV ad by an opponent of mostly liberal John ‘conservative before the August 24 Arizona Republican Primary Election” McCain. According to J.D. Hayworth's YouTube video description, “JD Hayworth launched a new television advertisement statewide highlighting McCain's long held support for amnesty for illegal aliens. As a U.S. Senator representing Arizona, JD Hayworth will implement border security measures to protect Arizonans and Americans because he believes that border security is national security.” I did not vote for John McCain for President in 2008 and urge all Arizona Republicans to fire him as Senator in August 2010!
