McCain - Twisting and Contorting the Facts


John McCain’s big-spending ways are bankrupting this Nation and you don’t have to look any further than the $850 billion big-bank bailout he supported. That bill also included $150 billion in earmarks for wooden arrow makers, rum distillers and wool producers. Citizens Against Government Waste gave Hayworth a rating of 89 and American Conservative Union gave Hayworth a lifetime rating of 98, both higher than the rating they gave McCain.
McCain likes to twist and contort the facts about J.D. Hayworth’s record, but below you will find the truth.
