AZ-Sen: Sheriff Joe Arpaio Calls John McCain a LIB

Maricopa County, Arizona, Sherif Joe Arpaio is urging Arizona voters to throw Senator John McCain out of office in favor of GOP challenger, former Congressman J.D. Hayworth.

And, calls McCain the L-word: LIBERAL.

Maricopa Co. Sheriff Joe Arpaio is urging GOPers to shelve Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) in favor of ex-Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R), a challenger attacking from the right, in a new letter sent to primary voters.

“Senator McCain has served this country admirably but it’s time to replace his moderate or even liberal positions on taxes, the border, social causes and big bank bailouts with a consistent conservative like J.D.,” Arpaio writes in the letter. “”I just wish Senator McCain had run as hard against Barack Obama as he is against a conservative like J.D. That could have prevented the harmful, liberal agenda we are all now suffering through.”

“Indeed, Senator McCain is already attacking J.D. by name in advertisements because [McCain] knows [Hayworth] is the type of exciting, principled conservative that excites people like you and me,” Arpaio adds. “And he knows that after years of running over Republican principles his entire career no election year conversion to our way of thinking will save his campaign from voters that want conservatives to be a part of the solution rather than part of the problem.”

This endorsement won’t make any difference this time around since McCain, unless he has health problems, should sail to easy re-election. Sarah Palin will give McCain cover from the right. But, in six years…..

Good ol’ Sheriff Joe never minces words, now does he?
