Hayworth to McCain: If you bring up Abramoff, I will talk about Keating 5
By Sean J. Miller - 02/14/10 07:32 PM ET


J.D. Hayworth has a warning for John McCain: Bring up Jack Abramoff and I'll rehash the Keating Five scandal.

The former six-term congressman isn’t yet officially in the race but already the Arizona GOP Senate primary shows signs of turning into a bare-knuckle brawl.

"If John McCain really wants to make this a campaign about ties to lobbyists we will very forcefully respond to his outrageous conduct and Bahamian vacations with convicted banker Charlie Keating,” said Jason Rose, a spokesman for Hayworth.

In the 1980s, federal auditors were investigating Keating's savings and loan bank when the Arizona developer asked McCain and a number of other senators to intervene. Keating and McCain were close and had taken several trips together. McCain, then in his first Senate term, attended two meetings with federal banking regulators to discuss the investigation. The Senate Ethics Committee later found him guilty of exercising "pour judgment," but nothing more.

With all apologies to snake shit for the insult.

Nope, he's proud of his association with Abramoff.

For what it's worth, McCain at least introduced some legislation to curb campaign contribution abuses.

because it's an old story and few people care. Although I would love to see McCain and Hayworth waste tons of money and popularity, Hayworth is a first rate scumbag.

when two right wing pieces of shit try to out slime each other. Talk about endless material to work with. Can it get any better than this?

"...and I will bring up AWOL coke-sniffing diaper-clad republicon family values."

Can we get a big vat of Jell-O in here, stat?

He did not release or make public thousands of pages during his tenure as head of the Indian Affairs Committee.

Wonder if Hayworth will also bring up Cindy's drug problems?

I hope it's a fight to their political deaths...The Recycled Turd vs The Dirty Too Old Man. Trouble with that match up is, there's no best man to remain standing...either way the country will lose.

It could make AZ politics a full-contact sport. Actually, with this kind of mud slinging, it's more like 2 hogs wallowing around in the muck & mud - and it couldn't happen to two better hacks.

Bring it on, sell tickets and have plenty of popcorn because this could provide a helluva lot of entertainment.

:rofl: :popcorn:

by that time the thread doesn't need it, but two detestable Rethugs ripping each other to pieces is WORTH it!1

Maybe now all the dumbass Republicans I patiently explained the whole Keating thing to during the presidential election will grasp it (or believe it) when it's coming from a fellow moron.

babylonsister, I'll have some of that popcorn with you (no salt, though) :popcorn:
