Phoenix, AZ (AUGUST 9) – Sen. John McCain tried to blackmail then-Congressman J.D. Hayworth in 2005 into supporting his illegal alien amnesty legislation, by threatening to raise unfounded allegations of a relationship between the Congressman and lobbyist Jack Abramoff, records show. “FYI: We’ve been inundated with press requests to comment on your boss’s abrahamoff [sic], sky box, etc. situation. We’ve refused them. I think you should be prepared for that to change,” wrote McCain’s chief of staff and confidant Mark Salter to a Hayworth aide on May 12, 2005 at 6:19 p.m. Salter’s threat included these words: “As you can guess, much consternation here over your boss’s quick attack on a bill we’ve been working on for months, in the most arduous discussions, and, we think, managed to arrive at a very good product with a broad constituency behind it, not to mention three of your boss’ delegation members. Obviously the attack occurred before anyone has even seen the bill. At best, it was discourteous, and we took it quite personally.” Following the threat, a committee chaired by McCain launched an investigation into Abramoff and his alleged connections to members of Congress. While McCain continues in the current campaign to try to tie Abramoff to Hayworth, there was no mention of Hayworth in the committee proceedings or the final report Chairman McCain issued on the matter. “Now, in desperation, McCain is doing exactly what he said he would do – lie to try to win,” Hayworth said. “His latest ad is demonstrably false, but this is what we have come to expect from McCain. He plays mean, under handed political games of blackmail behind the scenes while he tries to convince the voters of America and Arizona he is ‘Mr.Clean.’” Hayworth said he was reluctant to bring up this “ugly matter” during this campaign. “But I have no choice,” he said. “At almost every campaign stop, during every interview and now in the latest lying television ads, Sen. McCain tries again and again to misrepresent the facts. While he attacks me for something he knows is false, he refuses to return the $1.1 million he took from a convicted felon who is serving a 50-year prison sentence for running a ponzi scheme.” Hayworth has called for John McCain to return the “bundled” contributions collected by Scott Rothstein for McCain’s failed presidential campaign. Salter’s original email is below.

JD HAYWORTH GAME CHANGING: John McCain "I Chose Lying" U.S. Constitution - Article IV, Section 4: NO BORDERS + NO LAWS = NO COUNTRY
you know back in 1986 senator McCain was a republican congressman. I'd be very surprised if he did not vote for that original immigration reform bill that provided amnesty and also failed to provide for employers being penalized for hiring illegals. and you know both McCain and Hayworth spent a lot of years in washington. Did either of them propose legislation to penalize employers for hiring illegals? I think the answer is 'no'. They both favor guest workers. Hayworth's office used to be 3 blocks from my house before his district was re-drawn and he relocated. I can't stand either one of these guys.
Revelation 6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and [see] thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
Somebody evacuate the historical artwork from D.C. and then drop a nuke on it, it's our only hope of surviving those murderous liars.

McCain, "I chose lying" Flip-flop is a mild word to describe McCain's position on issues. After being a lead sponsor of Amnesty legislation, he now pretends to support law enforcement efforts to stop the illegal alien invasion. Before that, McCain was a key figure in persuading Congress to abandon Missing in Action POWs left in VietNam. He has also supported the official government cover-up of the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty. One could go on. Anyone whom McCain supports is tainted, IMO.
