J.D. Hayworth, the former congressman from Arizona who announced a primary bid against Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) this month, is all over CPAC. Last night he hit the NRA’s pre-dinner reception, and spent every second pumping hands and making small talk. If people didn’t know who he was when they met him, they came away buzzing.
“He’s running against John McCain!” said one student in a pinstriped suit, reuniting with a friend after meeting Hayworth. “That’s awesome!” As they moved on, Hayworth moved on to Wayne LaPierre, president of the NRA, who said “Thank you” to Hayworth and chatted in full view of partygoers. At the dinner, Hayworth moved through the tables, talking to reporters and fans, and practically jumped out of his seat when the emcee, Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), asked 2010 candidates to stand.

Too bad for McCain, that he's lost his mojo…..
His run against Hayworth could well be a no-go….
Too bad for the Repubs, but beggars ain't choosers….
And they'll soon have to pick between these two losers.

CPAC is an absolute disgrace, and there are some of us who consider ourselves conservative that want nothing to do with Mr. Hayworth or the John Birch Society. Mr. Hayworth's Birther theories were nicely brought to light by LGF:

My thanks for that link about Buckley and Goldwater in a previous post: that's a link more conservatives, or anyone who cares about stopping extremism and conspiracy theories in the US, should read.
