Vietnam POW 1966-1973 FRIENDS I want everyone to know that John McCain served honorably as a POW. However, to my knowledge he never held any position of leadership while a prisoner. I was there 2,494 days; he was there 1,966 days. This message has nothing to do with our POW experiences but is my desire to emphasize that our political philosophies are diametrically opposed, I am a Republican. I am tired of John McCain’s personal and exaggerated attacks on JD Hayworth. I am going to start campaigning for JD Hayworth in a big way, and if you would be willing to help me I would appreciate it. 1. McCain thinks he can buy this election with negative campaign ads. Let’s show him what Grass Root politics is all about. 2. JD needs some funding. Go to his web site if you feel you can help. Even a little really helps. (www.jdforsenate.com) 3. Tell your friends Larry “Lucky” Chesley, supports JD Hayworth. 4. Forward this e-mail to your friends. 5. Help me put on an event in the East Valley that will blow McCain out of the water. Thank you for your help and your friendship. GBU

That’s not the first POW I’ve heard say he’s disgusted with McCain. More and more veterans are starting to fall away from supporting McCain. They think he’s abusing his POW status as a political tool to get sympathy votes, which does a disservice to veterans and POWs everywhere.

Fine. Where was Hayworth when he was in office. Ever visit a war zone? Nope. Support the troops? Nope. Anyone can pull a disgruntled voter out of their rectal orifice to substantiate a fake news story for a fake newspaper.

You: Fine. Where was Hayworth when he was in office.
Me: Hunkering down to keep Arizona vibrant and free while McCain fiddled trying to give us more gems like Obamao and Eric Holder (who’s now suing our state).
You: Ever visit a war zone? Nope. Support the troops? Nope.
Me: Ever visit a war zone? Try our city streets or the mega-dangerous border area that’s worsened since McCain has given moral support to the illegals by authoring an amnesty program called comprehensive immigration reform. National security starts with our nation.
I’m sure our troops would like to know the freedom they’re securing overseas is worth something back home and not frittered away and cheapened by people like McDang granting amnesty to unworthy people who have not merited it.
You: Anyone can pull a disgruntled voter out of their rectal orifice to substantiate a fake news story for a fake newspaper.
Me: Likewise, anyone can spout pro-McCain rubbish conveniently pulled from their alimentary canal in support of McCain’s miserable record while in orifice…I mean office.

LD-17,
Go ahead and insult the veteran. I am not hiding behind some umbrella username and I want the world to know not everyone in LD-17 would make such a thoughtless charge against the service of Larry Chesley who has a right to not like filthy RINOs even if they served in a POW camp. Come out from your hiding place and put a face to your posts so the rest of us in LD 17 are not wrongly smeared by association. It is pretty arrogant to claim YOU speak for LD17. It is now apparent that Liberal democrats are not the only ones who are stunned when someone disagrees with their point of view. I met a former marine who wants McCain out of there last week. Anyone who cares to see exactly why so many veterans are passionately disgusted with John McCain should watch the DVD “Missing, Presumed Dead” documentary film by Mr. Dumas a proud Korean war veteran. To the drive by’s, I am sure he is a phony too even though he testified to Congress and has the undying support of ” B-1 ” Bob Dornan (R-CA) and Senator Bob Smith (R-NH). John McCain lost this conservative American for good in November 1992. As it was volunteer at the time, I did not serve but I certainly respect the sacrifice of ALL the Soldiers and POW’s as a duty. I will not however allow that respect to give carte blanch to one of them selling us down the progressive socialist river. Thank you Larry Chesley for your service, sacrifice and your support of a serious upgrade in the US Senate in 2010.

Me: Umm..nice insult to Mr. Chesley, POW. Just the kind of McCain supporters America can be proud of!
Let’s take a look at his service:
“I want everyone to know that John McCain served honorably as a POW. However, to my knowledge he never held any position of leadership while a prisoner. I was there 2,494 days; he was there 1,966 days.”
Hmm…you ask if JD ever supported the troops then insult one of our nation’s finest!
I wouldn’t exactly call this type of person, in your words, a disgruntled voter pulled out of someone’s rectal orifice.
As a matter of fact, you’re not even worthy to kiss his rectal orifice, much less tie his boots.
But it looks like you’ve got your nose planted firmly up McCain’s RO.
July 12th, 2010 at 1:49 pm
McCain is a hero, I guess. A hero does not make a Senator. He has played on this long enough. Lets get him out of there.
July 12th, 2010 at 1:55 pm
Larry Chesley is a good man and like many Americans is frustrated w/ the status quo.
Unfortunately, Larry is willing to risk our future w/ the likes of JD Hayworth.
JD Hayworth has proven to be less than honorable; in his affiliations w/ Jack Abramoff, while in office, as well as “clients” he represented as a former Congressman from Arizona.
Let me again point out that we (CD 5) fired JD Hayworth in 2006. Republican’s, then as now, represented the majority of voters in CD 5.
I’d hope that Larry and others get beyond Vietnam and the POW thing and ask themselves one question.
Who can better serve our nation in this time of war?
As a Congressman, JD Hayworth didn’t have the guts to support a Surge that was not popular, but was absolutely necessary for US forces to achieve tactical success in Iraq.
He was fighting for his “political life” at a time when many Americans in Iraq were involved in a real life and death fight.
I wonder if Mr. Chesley believes that Afghanistan won’t be fraught w/ many of the same challanges?
Finally, as I’ve stated before, I’ll state again. JD Hayworth is a coward (among other things) and is unfit to represent Arizona in the United States Senate.
July 12th, 2010 at 2:12 pm
McCain should not be re-elected to the Senate, not because of anything involved as a POW but because he has not represented the people of Arizona. He’s been on a power-trip promoting himself. I would have understood negative ads against Obama; he could have done this by simply letting people know the truth about Obama’s background and socialist leanings. I do not understand negative ads against a fellow Republican. McCain should just be telling his own story and let the voters decide who they want as their conservative candidate.
July 12th, 2010 at 2:27 pm
Martin, McCain has Hayworth beat on receiving money and gifts from people who got convicted of felonies involving fraud, Keating, to name just one. McCain wins hands down on every aspect of this including financial amounts and number of felons.
The surge was done after Hayworth lost his seat in 2006. Whether he supported the surge or not, he couldn’t vote on it in Congress.
Regarding the war against Islamofascists, McCain wanted to close down Gitmo. How good an idea is that? Also, his pushing for a “surge” in Iraq was not the key element of victory. Changing tactics and rules of engagement were the key. More soldiers just made it easier to implement. Without changing how the war was fought, a surge would have just resulted in more soldiers being ineffective.
You may think JD Hayworth is a coward, but you have given nobody else a reason to think so.

You: Larry Chesley is a good man and like many Americans is frustrated w/ the status quo.
Me: At least you admit McCain is status quo. Soon to be status no. As in no more McCain.
You: Unfortunately, Larry is willing to risk our future w/the likes of JD Hayworth.
Me: You’ve got to be kidding!?!?! McCain just gave us Maobama and Attorney General Eric Holder, who is now suing the state of Arizona. Undoubtedly a little common sense is in order here, my friend.
You: JD Hayworth has proven to be less than honorable; in his affiliations w/Jack Abramoff, while in office, as well as “clients” he represented as a former Congressman from Arizona.
Me: I don’t know about that. I thought Abramoff and that deranged-looking chick in the red dress were pictured with McCain, not JD.
You: Let me again point out that we (CD 5) fired JD Hayworth in 2006. Republican’s, then as now, represented the majority of voters in CD 5.
Me: After years and years of the liberal media beating up on Republicans, and the negative halo effect of serving during the Bush years — coupled with war weariness — people voted Republicans out of office in favor of…well, they now know they got Maobama, thanks to McCain, who would not fight for the presidency.
You: I’d hope that Larry and others get beyond Vietnam and the POW thing and ask themselves one question. Who can better serve our nation in this time of war?
Me: OK. I agree. But, likewise, I hope you get beyond the “Surge” thing regarding JD. Also, it’s time for McCain to stop pimping the Vietnam War. It ended in 1975 and was good for a couple of decades of political credibility. We’ve moved on…two wars later, hopefully.
When it comes to service, you are right. There is one area that McCain can better serve Arizona than anyone on the planet: that is, serving party favors and Pineapple and Shrimp Tiki Island Skewer hors d’oeuvres at JD’s Senate Victory Party!
You: As a Congressman, JD Hayworth didn’t have the guts to support a Surge that was not popular, but was absolutely necessary for US forces to achieve tactical success in Iraq.
Me: I’m sure if you would have given JD some pom poms and asked him to play cheerleader, he could have pimped the issue for all it was worth, like others did. He was cautiously low-key. So what? Caution is the better part of valor.
You: He was fighting for his “political life” at a time when many Americans in Iraq were involved in a real life and death fight.
Me: So was every Republican and even George Bush. The media and left-wing anti-war loonies had really done their job and painted every conservative with a broad brush of “time to go,” in favor of liberal candidates.
You: I wonder if Mr. Chesley believes that Afghanistan won’t be fraught w/many of the same challanges?
Me: I doubt it. But you never know.
You: Finally, as I’ve stated before, I’ll state again. JD Hayworth is a coward (among other things) and is unfit to represent Arizona in the United States Senate.
Me: Just calling someone a coward doesn’t make them one. I guess if you said he was a coward for this or a coward for that, people might take you seriously.
For example, you could have said something a little more substantive like: “JD is a coward for not dressing up like Boofball the Magic Clown and handing out party favors at the Chuck E. Cheese’s Pizza Time Theater Fiesta Feast Pinata Party where an effigy Pinata of McCain was battered with Wiffle Ball bats until candy came tumbling excitedly out for the kids, in honor of McCain’s selling out America through amnesty for illegal aliens.”
That would have made more sense than a blanket statement about JD…

Lucky proves once more he cares deeply for our Country. Thank you for serving us again.

Martin Sepulveda Said on July 12th, 2010 at 1:55 pm, “JD Hayworth has proven to be less than honorable; in his affiliations w/ Jack Abramoff, while in office, as well as clients he represented as a former Congressman from Arizona.”
McCain engaged the DoJ to ‘investigate’ JD, which cost him over $500K in legal fees. They found nothing and there were NO charges. He was completely exonerated, but it made a point to JD: don’t come back into politics or I’ll destroy you! And JD had NO intention of running. Please stop the lying!
JD had to register as a lobbyist by law (HE obeys the law, unlike McCain) to help ONE friend from college or high school. McCain has DOZENS of lobbyists and wealthy industrialists, etc. “pimping him out” in Congress. You are a hypocrite for making that dishonest claim.
Furthermore, Did CD 5 include ASU campus in 1994-2000? OH YEAH! McCain’s buddies made sure JD’s district became more moderate than before. PLEASE don’t deny the obvious facts.
The press, like McCain’s campaign has focused on their Progressive buddy’s attacks on JD and the press has ignored (Like you!) McCain’s ties to his largest fund raiser, the Madoff or Enron wannabe, Scott Rothstein, who raised $1.1 Million for McCain. But McCain with a completely straight face stated, “I couldn’t pick him out of a line-up. Which is REALLY funny since John was videotaped at a fundraiser with him in NH and with both Crist and Rothstein in Florida for another fundraiser. So either McCain is subject to Alsheimer’s effects or is a complete liar. You make the call.
I do like you using your name though. I believe that everyone knows who I am, which is probably a mistake!

My bad. I meant to say Rothstein and that deranged looking chick in the red dress.
I stand by those words, by the way. Chick looks deranged and a bit unhinged…
Here, you decide. Second photo on the top right:

My mom always told me, “Beware of deranged chicks in red dresses Michael. Especially one’s that hang out with sheister money men that help wishy-washy Senators get elected. Just you beware of those ding bat psycho chicks!”
Well, I’ll never forget those words of wisdom!
I can spot a crazed, maniacal Moonbat Rothstein chick from a mile away!
Thanks mom!

Well done Michael, I completely agree with your rebuttal to Mr. Sepulveda’s unsubstantiated remarks. It’s evident he does not like J.D., however, to intimate that McCain would better serve as our representative in the Senate is a joke. As for J.D. being a coward, I think not! He has laid it all on the line for his conservative supporters. He knew the odds were against him from the start, but, he accepted knowing full well that he was putting the well being of his family at risk. Unlike McCain, J.D. is not a wealthy millionaire who will continue to live a pampered life if he loses his bid for the Senate. No, instead, J.D. will have to start from scratch in an effort to provide for his family. McCain has spent millions in an effort to destroy J.D.’s reputation. Has he made some mistakes, you bet. But, he has the courage to take ownership of them and apologize when necessary. I’ve never served in the armed forces either but that does not lessen my love for my country or my countrymen. America has never been in more danger than She is in today and the enemy is from within. Our only hope of stopping the liberal agenda is to elect ‘Conservatives” who will aggressively fight for the Conservative cause. McCain’s record on amnesty, Gitmo, Cap and Trade, the bank bail-out, enhanced interrogation, the Gang of 14, all substantiate that McCain is not fit to lead our cause. He has proven that in the heat of battle, he is too willing to run up the “white flag of surrender to the liberal opposition. I can say with confidence that will not be the case with J.D. Hayworth.
July 12th, 2010 at 8:00 pm
I’m still trying to find where it says why he is supporting Hayworth.
Basically, he was a POW, is for JD and JD needs money.
OK. And that tells us what about JD?
That he isn’t McCain….? We knew that already.
July 12th, 2010 at 8:28 pm
Ann – for real republicans, that’s enough!
July 12th, 2010 at 8:54 pm
Once again…more rope!
July 13th, 2010 at 12:48 am
Oh…when do the early ballots arrive? I can’t wait to vote for JD. I’ll take two yard signs too!
July 13th, 2010 at 1:10 pm
Ann:
You ask Chesley why he supports Hayworth, yet you have yet to state why you support McCain?
Is it because you “owe” him for support in your past attempts to be elected State Gop Chairman?
Or do you get a “tingle” up your leg in his presence?
We haven’t seen either you or Travis advance issues and we’re curious why not!
July 13th, 2010 at 2:17 pm
Dear Precocious,
Obviously you aren’t or you would know. I have advanced those issues and often.
It is interesting that you comment as though you speak for a large group…the “we” and “we’re” references. Either you are part of the echo chamber for JD or the voices in your head have taken over.
And humorous how you all play your games. August 24th will not be a good day for you, so get your kicks now.
This much is for sure…you do not know the person to whom you reference or you would know, to be thought of as capable to be considered as fine a Republican workhorse as she is high praise. So thank you very much.
July 13th, 2010 at 9:05 pm
Hmmm, if I remember correctly, I heard the blowhard JD bashing McCain well before he even entered the race…another hypocritical statement from JD corner. The funny thing is that McCain’s rather humorous ads are just telling us who JD is and what he is about. JD should think a little more before making decisions that could ruin his reputation if he does not like being called out on it. I live in the East Valley, and I can tell you one thing, my network is HUGE and my friends and family are now convinced JD has not changed from the dumb, ego driven, money hungry, hypocrite he has always been.
July 14th, 2010 at 1:22 pm
HA! this is laughable! JD began his campaign attacking McCain and now he wines and wines when the big boys fire back.
July 14th, 2010 at 1:42 pm
Wow this was real informative. Were they even in the same camps and if they were who givea a crap who led who while a prisoner?
This has nothing to do with the politics of today.
July 14th, 2010 at 2:31 pm
Wow a religous nut coming out for the far right Jd very surprising?
July 16th, 2010 at 8:38 pm
“Let me again point out that we (CD 5) fired JD Hayworth in 2006. Republican’s, then as now, represented the majority of voters in CD 5.”
So you hired Harry Mitchell instead? How’d that work out for ya, genius??
July 21st, 2010 at 8:37 am
I live in Kentucky and I have contributed to J. D. Hayworth’s campaign because I believe he is a better Republican than John McCain. If you want to know why we have such bad leaders in Congress all you need do is read John McCain’s own words. Here is what McCain said about Barack Obama during the 2008 campaign. This was quoted from the Huffington Post on 10-10-2008:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/10/mccain-defends-his-rabid_n_133710.html
John McCain was booed by his own supporters during a rally on Friday after he described Barack Obama as a “decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States.”
“[Senator Obama] is a decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared about as President of the United States,” he said, before adding: “If I didn’t think I would be one heck of a better president I wouldn’t be running.”
Later, McCain was again pressed about Obama’s “other-ness” and again he refused to play ball. “I don’t trust Obama,” a woman said. “I have read about him. He’s an Arab.”
“No, ma’am,” McCain said several times, shaking his head in disagreement. “He’s a decent, family man, [a] citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues and that’s what this campaign is all about.”
At another point, McCain declared, “If you want a fight, we will fight. But we will be respectful. I admire Sen. Obama and his accomplishments.” Supporters booed then also. “I don’t mean that has to reduce your ferocity,” McCain responded. “I just mean to say you have to be respectful.”
