Yesterday J.D. Hayworth, the Republican former Arizona congressman who left office in 2007, wants to unseat Sen. John McCain from the U.S. Senate in November by offering up a GOP primary challenge. And how might Mr. Hayworth go about doing that? By trumping even McCain’s curmudgeon views on homosexuality with concluding Massachusetts’ legalization of gay marriage will lead to man-horse weddings.

Sounds like a complete and utter moron. Ten bucks says he’s a self-loathing closet case.

You know what? I’m fine with this situation. McCain said he was against gay adoption and gay marriage, even though he has no problem with his offices being run by his gay chief of staff Mark Buse showing his complete lack of any integrity. McCain just shouts out whatever he thinks will get him through the next town all or the next election. Let Hayworth beat him, and then let a Dem win that seat int he General.

Terr – that was my first thought too, except I was thinking of the OTHER end of the horse.

@terrwill: Now, now. If you don’t have anything nice to say, then…….now that I look at him again it turns out you were right.

“Left office,” queerty? That makes it sounds voluntary or like retirement. He was voted out.

Never assume that a politician pandering to a bunch of morons is himself a moron – that risks underestimating the enemy, which is a good way to lose in the end.

McCain ain’t no friend of ours so let the horse loving moron win the primary. With the moron on the general election ballot, the Dems will have a chance to take the seat. I really don’t see a down side. McCain won’t vote for any LGBT issues, neither will the horse lover. Should the horse lover win both elections, well he will be a big fat target.

I think Hayworth would be great in bed. He has that animal magnetism about him. He could spank me periodically while uttering sweet nothings in my ear.

I say “Nay!”
Had to be said.

There is a downside, although hardly certain – if the “horse living moron” wins the senatorial election, he’ll have the advantage of being an incumbent for the next election. Due to seniority rules, this new senator will be at the bottom, but someone else will replace McCain at the top, so you have to consider if that guy will be more anti-LGBT than McCain.
If McCain wins both the primary and the general election, there are two downsides – the current governor is a Republican so if McCain dies in office, you may end up with someone worse, plus a possibly more homophobic replacement for Republican positions McCain currently holds. If McCain doesn’t die, you have 6 more years of McCain, but probably not a lot more given his health.
Aside from that, you have to consider how Arizona might vote 6 years from now – if the chances of an LGBT-friendly senator are higher then, you may be better off with six more years of McCain than much longer interval with a younger, homophobic replacement.
You really have to list all possibilities, estimate the chances of each, and pick the one with the maximum expected benefit. Basically it’s a gamble so you want to be completely unemotional about it and pick the choice where the odds are most in your favor.

Two worthless non representatives. Some choice!!!!!!!!!!!
