Isn’t it sad when a 28-year incumbent who was the Republican nominee for President has to resort to dressing up supporters in pig and horse outfits in order to attack his conservative opponent?
This photo was taken outside of the studios of KTVK Channel 3 in Phoenix prior to the arrival of John McCain. These two McCain supporters have followed JD Hayworth campaign around for months harassing JD Hayworth supporters and taunting the former congressman.
The same pig you see in this photo was seen last week outside the entry of a Flagstaff country club harassing residents as they entered for GOP party picnic.
Sadly, this is just another example of the sad devolution and diminution of John McCain to another mudslinging politician.
One would think that Arizona’s senior senator would not put up with this type of campaigning.
John McCain represents the failed politics of the past.
JD is gaining momentum despite McCain’s silly and meaningless shenanigans.
Juxtapose those goofy characters — sponsored by McCain to harass JD Hayworth — with John’s sponsor of the loss of millions of American jobs, amnesty for illegal (criminal) aliens, our current bankrupt state and the face of Big Brother Maobama and Big Sis Napolitano and a truly frightening cartoon emerges: That of a sad, old, tired McCain mocking himself!
You see, those little characters are merely a projection of the psyche of McCain’s campaign: that is, they are phantom reflections and psychic figments of their own fantasy, delusion and state of unreality.
They are mirror images of the McCain camp!
Good thing JD gave John McCain and company a good dose of reality at the debates and a clear foretaste of what they’re in for during the Primaries!
Stick a fork in McCain and turn him over.
He’s done!
Putting things in True Perspective:
Dirty Hippy (DSW)is a paid staffer for Hayworth. Yes, Shane would support JD even if he wasn’t paid…as would CQ and the other paid staffers who run SA.
In conclusion, SA is in full support of Hayworth and has no connection to what the voters really think.
It is just a one-sided, McCain bashing, Hayworth cheering, no-brainer. Thanks to a few who post that do not drink the koolaid, there is a sprinkling of reality.
McCain will win. Hayworth will lose.
Imagine this:
Late last year JD announces he is running to win back his Congressional seat from two-faced Harry Mitchell in CD5. The Party faithful rally around our Republican candidates is support and together our time, energy and money go to beat Mitchell, Giffords and Kirkpatrick. Every Congressional Delegate is on the same page and helping to financially win back the seats we lost in 2006. McCains millions are used to make Arizona redder than ever instead of having to fight against our own.
John McCain and JD Hayworth both win. McCain retires in six years and Republicans line up to run for US Senate…
Imagine that! Instead JD will lose and along the way helped to divide our Party even further. Mitchell, Giffords and Kirkpatrick stay in office until they die and pass on their seats to the next generation of liberals.
Thanks, JD!
Will JD please go away forever. The fact that he cannot beat McCain in this political atmosphere is very revealing about what voters think of him.
John & Bobby Baby:
The voters will speak on August 24th and given the mood demonstrated by the party faithful in Kentucky, Colorado, Nevada and Utah, our mendacious old RINO coot John will be “flushed”
And his supporters can change their registrations with a clear conscience and become intellectually honest participants in the body politic!
Well, nice to see the McCain-bots in action.
The squeaky gears usually get the oil, but not this time for the McCain-bots.
The aural dissonance shrieking from the McCain camp is very palpable, seeing as their candidate got predictably thrashed about at the debates last night!
As for me, I’m certainly not paid one cent, so my views are not for sale.
However, I’d like to frame the big picture in its present context: McCain would not fight for the Presidency and gave us Maobama. He will not fight for Arizona and will give up comprehensive immigration reform/amnesty.
Upon this rock of resistance to the aforementioned failed McCain policies, JD Hayworth stands. And the gates of Hell shall not prevail against him!
McCain-bots, meet your new political psychotherapist, Dr. Whiskers, of Aardvark University:

Have a great day!
Give me a break DSW first what’s the matter truth hurt? Second you know damn well that a candidate has 0 input on those rallies and they are put on by supporters and staff. It is not like McCain said put on pig suits and get out there. And you damn well know every campaign does stuff like this so stop complaining and take the JD beatdown like a man.

If you don’t want your words to haunt you then you should think more before you utter them.
Oh my, this is getting sadder and more desperate by the minute! They must realize how badly JD did last night and fear the same thing will happen again.

The Worst Senator Ever (trademark pending) is revealing himself to be a thoroughly shitty person too.
DSW – you give these two costumed folks too much credit – they aren’t supporters, they work for McCain! Forcing employees out in the sweltering heat in costume is not only inhumane, it is unbecoming of a Senator.
And I love the deflection campaign that McCain’s camp is involved it. I suppose if McCain says it, it must be true. There is NO reports that JD performed poorly last night (quite the opposite in fact), and the reports about McCain are only that he didn’t screw up.
From my perspective, JD triumphed – and McCain probably went through the roof last night. He certainly was anxious to dart from the stage!
How many actually watched? Better yet, how many were undecided going in to the debate? Trust me no one was watching, if anything, JDs numbers will continue to fall and it will have nothing to do with the debate. As long as McCain keeps running the “free $” ads JD will stay in the crapper. I hope he made a bundle w/ his endorsement…cause there will be no Senate pension for JD.
Am I the only one who finds these costumed fellows to be hilarious? Are voters really going to be swayed by a giant pig or two legged horse? No. Stop whining.
I second the above. It was over 115 degrees in Phoenix. How desparate does a person has to be to need a few bucks to accept pacing in a pink pig suit on a scorching sidewalk? Does McCain pay minimum wage or does he exempt himself, because he’s a senator?
Or was that an abuse of a volunteer? A cross between a boiled lobster and pork chop.
All McCain needs is to have his pig wobble, corkscrew 180 and keel over to the concrete. That’d SHOW JD Hayworth, wouldn’t it?
How about the possibility of a random JD Hayworth viral video that hits the internet of JD Hayworth giving CPR to McCain’s passed out pig? Not likely? All the elements are there, just waiting for the right combination of perspiration, pacing, pig, and punctuality.
Would McCain visit his pooped pig in the hospital, sort of a ‘commander visits his wounded troops’ moment?

Putting things into perspective? This blog is Shane’s. He is free to do whatever he pleases with it, including not to offer open comments, ever, to anyone, but he does leave it open. And you show up and call him a dirty hippy?
Do you get invited out much or do you show up in other people’s homes, crap on their carpet, tell them their house color in your opinion should have been puce, help yourself to their food without giving anything in return, and that btw, you are way smarter than they are?
It is extremely unusual for a 28-year incumbent senator to resort to dressing staff in pig and horse costumes and following a challenger around.
This is why John McCain earned the nickname of McNasty.
It is time to retire this old bitter man from public service before he causes more damage to himself, his party and his country.
LOL! DSW cries about negative campaigning but in the very next post on his blog, the so-called “American Post-Gazette” has a picture calling Jim Ward a “San Francisco Carpetbagger” with gay pride flags on it.
His team of lackeys can dish it out but they can’t take it.
Logical fallacies erupting.
We could put the pig and marry-me horse post together with the San Franscisco carpetbagger post and see what amusing convergences could emerge.
I cannot see how McCain’s campaign would be considered as acting in a responsible manner by having two people zipped up tight in sweltering animal costumes, prancing about in 115 degree heat during SEVERE WEATHER ALERT: HEAT ADVISORY.
They’re tough, whoever they are. Most people would have been hospitalized after a half hour of that abuse.
Yikes! These people in costumes bother you that much?
The campaign with a candidate that basically hawked his position as a Congressman on “the powerful Ways and Means Committee” to defraud people is offended by someone in a costume?
That just about sums up the perspective meter on JD.

……….
Is “defraud” a legal decision or your choice of term?
That’s the kind of things that offend people. Pig suits hired by multimillionaire 70-some US Senators just looks stupid.
Like intoning a stolen someone else’s line, “There you go again” works.
All that bazillions in campaign war chest and McCain is RECYCLING other people’s rhetoric?
That’s the BEST he can do? By all means, keep the roasting pig out there. Get a couple more for a herd of pigs, with VOTE McCAIN on them.
I agree Shane should relax. He’s not fully comprehending that there’s a mother lode of opportunities here.
Can’t wait till the pig figures out how much money he’ll make suing McCain for unsafe work conditions. The only pigskin he’ll wear from then on will be those soft driving gloves he’ll need for his Maserati.
Buyer Beware!!
I don’t think making someone stand around in 115 degree heat and 70% humidity in a smothering pink pig suit would be considered “responsible” or “humane” or if a complaint of heat exhaustion landed in court it would be called, “frivolous” when the unemployment rate is over 10% and people are desperate to make some money. That’d be taking advantage of a person’s vunerabilities.
It’d be “abusive” and “cruel” if it was a dog. But, hey, it’s some McCain campaign flunkie or wannabe. He can fry on the pavement while multi-millionaire McCain sits in air conditioned luxury sipping tall, iced drinks and nibbling on chilled salads and antipasto.
Heat exhaustion is a medical emergency. Does McCain have to wait till the pink pig flunky dies before he gets a clue?
I feel sorry for the fuzzy pink pig. What would happen if JD Hayworth were to befriend the pig, and offer him a cold big slurpee next time they encounter each other and say, “Dude, this is SO wrong. If you want to work for me, I promise you’ll never have to wear a pig suit again.”
Then McCain will need a new pig.

Payday Paton uses senate campaign funds as personal slush fund
PHOENIX – Former payday lending lobbyist and CD8 Republican primary candidate Jonathan Paton is unethically funding his congressional race with money from his state senate campaign, according to a complaint filed today by the Arizona Democratic Party.
“Corporate lobbyist Jonathan Paton has found another way to give himself a payday – he writes himself checks to the tune of thousands of dollars from his old campaign accounts,” said Arizona Democratic Party Executive Director Luis Heredia.
In February and March 2010, Paton wrote himself five checks totaling more than $8,300 in mileage reimbursements from his state senate account, despite filing his federal candidacy in January 2010.
In total, between the January 31st and June 30th campaign finance reports, Paton has reimbursed himself a total of $19,415.67 for travel. That adds up to 43,631 miles in campaign-related travel in less than a year and a half.
Payday Paton’s new campaign web ad touts a record of “honesty and integrity.” But his record shows he’s just another corporate lobbyist trying to take a payday at voters’ expense.
“By writing himself checks from his state account at the same time as he runs for Congress, Jonathan Paton is unethically funneling money to his next campaign. This is why we can’t elect a corporate lobbyist to Congress. Paton should give up his state senate slush fund and pay back his donors,” said Heredia.
A copy of the complaint submitted to the Citizens Clean Elections Commission today by the Arizona Democratic Party is available for download. Read more about this lobbyist-turned-legislator’s payday past at http://www.paydaypaton.com.

wanombuhh,
Well, you’d know, considered you’ve had every job in the world
………..
I haven’t done the pink fuzzy pig suit job, and if McCain had asked me I would have told him put the zipped blanket on himself and go out on that frying pan sidewalk first to see if it was work safe. If he wasn’t going to risk his body for his campaign like that, who else should?
IF it was an actual pig, then PETA would be all over McCain, but it’s just a human being, so nobody cares he’s out there roasting pink during one of the hottest weeks in Phoenix of the year.
There’s a horse guy, too. And his suit’s darker in color so it gets hotter, faster.
Shame.
A good officer NEVER makes his men do something he isn’t willing and able to do as well. One leads from the FRONT, not the air conditioned, iced tea REAR.
Of course it’s important. McCain tried to stake out the moral high ground by saying he won’t stoop to mud to wrestle with a PIG, so he HIRES a PROXY PIG to do it for him.
CLASSIC! In PINK no less!
You say sad…I say funny
I love it. Why not let the voters who prefer a visual of the blowhard see for themselves why most of us are not voting for JD. What a joke JD is…and he did it to himself.
It’d be ironic if the 2010 campaign summary comes out like:
“JD makes a silk purse out of McCain’s sow’s ear.”
Sans costumes, you’d likely find a couple of illegal aliens sweating it out for McCain at 80 cents an hour.
I dont see what the fuss is about. Harry Reid sent people to Sue Lowden’s office with chickens and goats during bartergate. This is politics. If you dont like the way things are, get out of the business.
As for McCain, clearly he’s doing well, as the polls show, and I for one am ecstatic. JD Hayworth is a travesty of a human being & comical as a legislator. Having a 5 minute conversation with the man is painful, I cant imagine him getting anything done in Washington. There’s a reason he lost in 06.
